2017 News Releases
The waterfall plot for the trial, % Change in Size of Target Lesions,” is shown in Figure 1, which is attached to this news release. In addition, the slides from the presentation are available on the Puma Biotechnology website. The safety results of the study showed that the most frequently observed grade 3 adverse events were diarrhea, nausea, thrombocytopenia and hypertension. More specifically, for the 21 patients with available safety assessments, grade 3 diarrhea was reported in 4 patients (19%), grade 3 nausea was reported in 3 patients (14%), grade 3 thrombocytopenia was reported in 3 patients (14%), and grade 3 hypertension was reported in 2 patients (10%). There was 1 dose limiting toxicity (DLT) at the 120 mg dose (1 of 6 patients), 3 DLTs at the 200 mg dose (3 of 8) and 2 DLTs at the 240 mg dose (2 of 3). Additional patients are currently being accrued at the 160 mg dose in order to define the recommended Phase II dose. Dr. Jame Abraham, Director of the Breast Oncology Program at Taussig Cancer Institute, Professor of Medicine at Cleveland Clinic, and principal investigator of the study, said, “We are encouraged by these initial findings and we will continue to enroll patients at the 160 mg dose to further evaluate the impact in this patient population.” Alan H. Auerbach, Chief Executive Officer and President of Puma Biotechnology, said, “We are pleased to see the high response rate of the combination of T-DM1 and neratinib in this patient population who were previously treated with both pertuzumab and trastuzumab in this study. We look forward to completing enrollment in the current cohort and moving this combination into Phase II trials.” About Puma Biotechnology Puma Biotechnology, Inc. is a biopharmaceutical company with a focus on the development and commercialization of innovative products to enhance cancer care. The Company in-licenses the global development and commercialization rights to three drug candidates—PB272 (neratinib (oral)), PB272 (neratinib (intravenous)) and PB357. Neratinib is a potent irreversible tyrosine kinase inhibitor that blocks signal transduction through the epidermal growth factor receptors, HER1, HER2 and HER4. Currently, the Company is primarily focused on the development of the oral version of neratinib, and its most advanced drug candidates are directed at the treatment of HER2-positive breast cancer. The Company believes that neratinib has clinical application in the treatment of several other cancers as well, including non-small cell lung cancer and other tumor types that over-express or have a mutation in HER2.
