Announcement
Puma Biotechnology, Inc. announced the initiation of its ALISertib in CAncer (ALISCA™-Breast1) Phase II trial (PUMA-ALI-1201; NCT06369285) of alisertib in combination with endocrine therapy for the treatment of patients with hormone receptor-positive (HR+), human epidermal growth factor receptor 2-negative (HER2-negative) recurrent or metastatic breast cancer who have been previously treated with CDK 4/6 inhibitors and received at least two prior lines of endocrine therapy in the recurrent or metastatic setting.
AI Summary
Puma Biotechnology, Inc. has launched a Phase II trial called ALISCA™-Breast1 to study alisertib in combination with endocrine therapy for patients with hormone receptor-positive (HR+), HER2-negative recurrent or metastatic breast cancer. This trial will include up to 150 patients who have previously been treated with CDK4/6 inhibitors and at least two lines of endocrine therapy. Patients will be randomly assigned to receive alisertib at doses of 30 mg, 40 mg, or 50 mg twice daily on specific days of a 28-day cycle, alongside the endocrine therapy chosen by their doctor.
The primary aim of the study is to determine the optimal dose of alisertib when used in this combination. Key measurements will include response rate, duration of response, disease control rate, progression-free survival, and overall survival. Biomarker analyses will also be conducted to identify any subgroups that might benefit most from the treatment, with initial trial data expected in 2025.

Announcement
Puma Biotechnology, Inc announced the presentation of alisertib for the treatment of patients with advanced osimertinib-resistant epidermal growth factor receptor-mutated (EGFR-mutated) non-small cell lung cancer (NCT04085315) at the 2024 American Society of Clinical Oncology (ASCO) Annual Meeting currently being held in Chicago
AI Summary
Puma Biotechnology, Inc. announced that it has presented data on alisertib for treating patients with advanced osimertinib-resistant, epidermal growth factor receptor-mutated (EGFR-mutated) non-small cell lung cancer. The presentation took place at the 2024 American Society of Clinical Oncology Annual Meeting in Chicago, where a poster (Abstract #8572, Poster Bd #436) detailed the Phase I/Ib study. Dr. Turja Chakrabarti from the University of California, San Francisco, led the presentation, highlighting the study conducted on this challenging-to-treat patient population.
The study focused on using alisertib in combination with osimertinib to address resistance in patients with advanced lung cancer. The trial enrolled patients whose disease had progressed on osimertinib monotherapy. Early results from this study show promising signals, especially in patients with certain genetic markers. Puma Biotechnology plans to continue its research in this area, aiming to improve treatment options for patients with EGFR-mutated non-small cell lung cancer.

- Indication:
- For the Treatment of Small Cell Lung Cancer
Announcement
Puma Biotechnology, Inc. announced the presentation of biomarker findings from a Phase II randomized clinical trial of alisertib alone vs. alisertib + fulvestrant for the treatment of patients with endocrine and CDK4/6 inhibitor (CDK 4/6i) resistant, human epidermal growth factor receptor 2-negative (HER2-negative), hormone receptor-positive metastatic breast cancer (TBCRC 041; Clinicaltrials.gov identifier NCT02860000) at the 2024 American Society of Clinical Oncology (ASCO) Annual Meeting currently being held in Chicago.
AI Summary
Puma Biotechnology, Inc. announced new biomarker findings from a Phase II randomized clinical trial, TBCRC 041 (ClinicalTrials.gov NCT02860000), at the 2024 ASCO Annual Meeting in Chicago. The study compared alisertib alone with alisertib combined with fulvestrant in patients with HER2-negative, hormone receptor-positive metastatic breast cancer who had developed resistance to both endocrine therapy and CDK4/6 inhibitors.
The trial showed promising clinical activity in both treatment arms, displaying a similar overall response rate and progression-free survival. Researchers also analyzed various biomarkers through liquid biopsies, including circulating tumor cells and cell-free DNA, to better understand how these factors relate to treatment outcomes. These insights aim to help identify patients who may benefit most from alisertib-based therapies, paving the way for more personalized treatment approaches in resistant breast cancer.

Announcement
Puma Biotechnology, Inc announced the release of abstracts on alisertib to be presented at the 2024 American Society of Clinical Oncology (ASCO) Annual Meeting.
AI Summary
Puma Biotechnology, Inc. announced that it will release several new abstracts on alisertib at the 2024 American Society of Clinical Oncology (ASCO) Annual Meeting. The abstracts focus on innovative cancer treatments, including studies on metastatic breast cancer and osimertinib-resistant lung cancer, by using advanced molecular profiling techniques such as liquid biopsies that analyze cell-free DNA and circulating tumor cells. One abstract (1037) explores alisertib in endocrine-resistant metastatic breast cancer, while another (8572) examines the combination of alisertib with osimertinib in patients with advanced, resistant lung cancer.
The ASCO Annual Meeting will take place both in Chicago at McCormick Place and online from May 31 to June 4, 2024. Researchers and healthcare professionals can access the full abstracts on the ASCO website, which may offer important insights into future cancer treatment strategies.
