Clovis Oncology to Highlight Results from Rucaparib TRITON Prostate Program at ESMO 2018 Congress

San Francisco, CA USA (UroToday.com) -- Clovis Oncology, Inc. announced that four posters featuring data and highlighting studies from the Rubraca® clinical development program will be presented at the ESMO 2018 Congress (European Society for Medical Oncology), 19-23 October, 2018, in Munich, Germany. These posters include the first presentation of initial results from the Phase 2 TRITON2 clinical trial of Rubraca, an oral, small molecule PARP inhibitor, in advanced mCRPC, as well as genomic profiling data based on tumor tissue and plasma cfDNA samples from patients who were screened following progression on prior therapy for enrollment in TRITON2 or the Phase 3 TRITON3 clinical study. Both datasets from the TRITON clinical program have been selected for inclusion in a poster discussion session that will be led by invited discussant Dr. Joaquin Mateo, of the Prostate Cancer Translational Research Group, Vall d’Hebron Institute of Oncology (VHIO), Barcelona, Spain.

TRITON2 is an international, multicenter, open-label, Phase 2 study of Rubraca in men with advanced prostate cancer with BRCA gene mutations (germline or somatic) or other deleterious mutations in other homologous recombination (HR) repair genes in the metastatic castration-resistant setting. The study is currently recruiting at approximately 100 sites worldwide. On October 2, 2018, Clovis announced that the U.S. Food and Drug Administration granted Breakthrough Therapy designation for Rubraca for the treatment of adult patients with BRCA1/2-mutated mCRPC who have received at least one prior androgen receptor (AR)-directed therapy and taxane-based chemotherapy. The FDA granted this designation based on the initial efficacy and safety results from TRITON2 that will be shared at the ESMO 2018 Congress.

“We look forward to presenting a first look at the TRITON2 prostate cancer data at ESMO, with a primary focus on the BRCA mutant population,” said Patrick J. Mahaffy, President, and CEO of Clovis Oncology. “The data and updates we will share at ESMO emphasize our commitment to developing Rubraca beyond its initial ovarian cancer indications.”
The four Rubraca abstracts from Clovis Oncology that have been accepted for poster presentation at the ESMO 2018 Congress are:
