ArriVent Announces Positive Proof-Of-Concept Global Phase 1b Interim Data for Firmonertinib Monotherapy In First-Line EGFR PACC Mutant Non-Small Cell Lung Cancer At The 2024 World Conference On Lung Cancer
81.8% ORR by BICR and 63.6% confirmed ORR by BICR at the 240 mg dose; 46.2% confirmed ORR in CNS Metastases
90.9% (n = 20/22) of patients with confirmed responses remained on study with a median duration of response not yet reached at time of analysis
ArriVent to host virtual webinar on these interim analyses of Phase 1b data for firmonertinib in EGFR PACC mutant NSCLC on September 9, 2024 at 4:30 pm ET
NEWTOWN SQUARE, Pa., Sept. 09, 2024 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- ArriVent BioPharma, Inc. (Company or ArriVent) (Nasdaq: AVBP), a clinical-stage company dedicated to accelerating the global development of innovative biopharmaceutical therapeutics, today announced positive proof-of-concept randomized global Phase 1b FURTHER interim data for first-line firmonertinib monotherapy in patients with non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) harboring EGFR PACC mutations at a Presidential Symposium Presentation at the IASCLC 2024 annual World Conference on Lung Cancer (WCLC), in San Diego, California. ArriVent plans to host a virtual webinar on September 9, 2024 at 4:30 pm ET. To register for the event, please click here.
“These compelling dose-dependent interim data are the first to demonstrate robust systemic and CNS anti-tumor activity for firmonertinib in a PACC mutant population,” said Bing Yao, Chairman and Chief Executive Officer of ArriVent. “We believe that the generally well-tolerated safety profile and response duration seen to date reinforce the therapeutic potential of firmonertinib to be an effective oral, chemotherapy-free treatment for this underserved patient population. Importantly, these data add to the clinical body of evidence supporting firmonertinib as a potentially effective option across EGFR mutation types and lines of non-small cell lung cancer therapy.”
Dr. Xiuning Le, Associate Professor of Thoracic Head and Neck Medical Oncology at MD Anderson Cancer Center and the lead Principal Investigator added, “Treating lung cancer patients with EGFR uncommon mutation lung cancer, including PACC mutations and Exon 20 insertion mutations, remains a clinical challenge, as we need more potent and better tolerated EGFR inhibitors. These encouraging randomized data for firmonertinib suggest rapid and robust anti-tumor activity across PACC mutations which is similar to that observed for firmonertinib in exon 20 insertions. Moreover, the apparent high CNS activity points to firmonertinib as a promising potential new therapy for frontline patients with PACC mutations including those with CNS disease.”
