TESARO (NASDAQ:TSRO), an oncology-focused biopharmaceutical company announced the presentation of maturing data from the TOPACIO trial of niraparib in combination with an anti-PD-1 monoclonal antibody, KEYTRUDA® during a plenary session today at the 2018 Society for Gynecologic Oncology (SGO) Annual Meeting on Women’s Cancer in New Orleans, Louisiana.
As quoted in the press release:
“Patients with platinum-resistant or platinum-refractory ovarian cancer have limited treatment options available to them. Approximately 10,000 women in each of the US and EU begin treatment for platinum-resistant or refractory ovarian cancer each year,” said Mary Lynne Hedley, Ph.D., President and COO of TESARO. “Preliminary results from TOPACIO suggest the combination of niraparib and an anti-PD-1 antibody could provide meaningful clinical benefit to these patients, regardless of biomarker status. Planning of a registration study is underway to support approval of ZEJULA and TSR-042 combination therapy for these patients. TSR-042 is TESARO’s anti-PD-1 antibody, which is currently in a registration study for MSI-H tumors.”
