Context Therapeutics Inc. (NASDAQ: CNTX) stock is up about 12% after the biopharmaceutical Company announced that data from the window-of-opportunity clinical trial of onapristone extended release (ONA-XR) in postmenopausal patients with progesterone receptor positive (PR+) early breast cancer demonstrated ONA-XR significantly increased suppression of tumor cell proliferation. The data were presented today during the 2021 San Antonio Breast Cancer Symposium (SABCS).<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cThe data from the ONAWA trial signal the potential of ONA-XR to help inhibit tumor proliferation and shift tumors to a more endocrine treatment-sensitive phenotype during treatment prior to surgery in postmenopausal women with operable breast cancer and improve overall prognosis for these patients. These results support further evaluation of ONA-XR in the treatment of early breast cancer.\u201d<\/p>co-principal investigator Meritxell Bellet, M.D., Ph.D., medical oncologist at Vall d’Hebron University Hospital in Barcelona and an executive board member of SOLTI<\/cite><\/blockquote>\n\n\n\n
The Phase 0 open-label, single-arm, multicenter ONAWA (SOLTI-1802) trial conducted by Spanish cancer research group SOLTI, enrolled 10 patients with ER+\/PR+\/HER2- negative tumors and levels of the cell proliferation marker “Ki67” above 10% to evaluate ONA-XR by the rate of Complete Cell Cycle Arrest (CCCR) determined by Ki-67 (\u22642.7%) when administered for three weeks prior to surgery (Abstract #511).<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cONA-XR is being evaluated in four investigator-sponsored clinical trials in hormone-driven breast, ovarian and endometrial cancers. This readout is the first for the novel PR antagonist, and the results are encouraging early evidence of the potential of ONA-XR to offer a new therapeutic option for hormone-dependent cancers. We look forward to data updates from three other ONA-XR trials in 2022.\u201d<\/p>Martin Lehr, CEO of Context Therapeutics<\/cite><\/blockquote>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Context Therapeutics Inc.
