Business Wire
Repare Therapeutics Inc. (“Repare” or the “Company”) (Nasdaq:
RPTX), a leading clinical-stage precision oncology company, today
announced a Cooperative Research and Development Agreement (CRADA)
has been executed to advance the development of camonsertib as an
anticancer agent in collaboration with the Cancer Therapy
Evaluation Program (CTEP) of the US National Cancer Institute
(NCI), part of the US National Institutes of Health.
“This partnership with the CTEP allows the research community to
investigate the full clinical potential of camonsertib more easily
and we believe it will provide additional clinical development
catalysts for the program,” said Lloyd M. Segal, President and
Chief Executive Officer of Repare.
Camonsertib, a potential best-in-class oral small molecule ATR
inhibitor, has demonstrated significant anti-tumor activity in
preclinical and clinical studies. Ongoing clinical trials in
patients with metastatic solid tumors are evaluating the safety and
efficacy of camonsertib as monotherapy and in combination with
Repare’s PKMYT1 inhibitor, lunresertib, with chemotherapy and with
palliative external beam radiotherapy. Camonsertib monotherapy has
demonstrated an encouraging signal of prolonged progression-free
survival in patients with ATM-mutated non-small cell lung cancer.
Recent Phase 1 results of camonsertib in combination with
radiotherapy have shown benefit, including complete responses, in
patients with ATM-altered tumors across various histologies.
The Cancer Therapy Evaluation Program (CTEP) of the NCI
facilitates the development of promising cancer therapies by
collaborating with researchers and industry partners. CTEP's
mission is to improve the lives of cancer patients by finding
better ways to treat, control and cure cancer. CTEP is interested
in combination studies involving camonsertib and various aspects of
radiation therapy, and translational studies to identify predictive
biomarkers.
