Clovis Oncology, Inc. (Nasdaq: CLVS) has reached the target enrollment in its pivotal LEAP (Low hENT1 and Adenocarcinoma of the Pancreas) study of CO-101 in metastatic pancreatic cancer. CO-101 is the Company’s lipid-conjugated form of the anti-cancer drug gemcitabine.
LEAP is an international, randomized, controlled 360-patient, pivotal trial designed to demonstrate that CO-101 improves overall survival versus gemcitabine in hENT1-low metastatic pancreatic cancer patients. LEAP is the first study to utilize a companion diagnostic in metastatic pancreatic cancer, and enrollment required collection of metastasis biopsies prior to randomization, necessary to allow comprehensive assessment of tumor hENT1 expression as a modifier of treatment outcome. The study is being conducted at 99 centers in 15 countries. Top-line overall survival data from LEAP are expected in the fourth quarter of 2012. If the trial is successful, Clovis intends to file for approval in the US and EU by mid 2013. CO-101 has an orphan drug designation in the United States and European Union for the treatment of pancreatic cancer.
