Laekna Says Cancer Drug Meets Progression-free Survival Goal in Phase 3 Trial

MT Newswires Live04-15

Laekna (HKG:2105) said its LAE002 oral drug met the primary endpoint of progression-free survival in a phase 3 clinical trial, according to a Hong Kong bourse filing Wednesday.

Results from the FFIRM-205 study showed that a combination of LAE002 and fulvestrant achieved a progression-free survival of 7.6 months in subjects with breast cancer, compared with two months for fulvestrant alone.

The firm has a China licensing agreement with Qilu Pharmaceutical for LAE002 under which it is eligible to receive up to 2.05 billion yuan in total upfront and milestone payments.

The firm said it will submit a new drug application for LAE002 in China in the "near term."
