Celcuity Presents Updated Results of Phase 1b Study of Gedatolisib in Patients with Advanced Breast Cancer at the 2022 San Antonio Breast Cancer Symposium

High response rates and encouraging median progression free survival rates were observed in patients regardless of PIK3CA mutation status

Median progression free survival (PFS) of 42.3 months was reported for patients who were treatment naïve in the advanced setting

MINNEAPOLIS, MN / ACCESSWIRE / December 9, 2022 / Celcuity Inc. (Nasdaq:CELC), a clinical-stage biotechnology company focused on development of targeted therapies for oncology, today announced that updated results from a Phase 1b trial evaluating gedatolisib were presented during a Spotlight Poster Discussion at the 2022 San Antonio Breast Cancer Symposium (SABCS).

The presentation reported updated efficacy and safety data and sub-group analysis by PIK3CA mutation status in the four expansion arms of the Phase 1b study. Additional analysis of efficacy results from patients who were treatment-naïve in the advanced setting was also performed.

"The comparable efficacy reported in patients with and without PIK3CA mutations is very encouraging. We believe these results reflect gedatolisib's unique mechanism of action," said Brian Sullivan, Celcuity's Chief Executive Officer and co-founder. "We are also very encouraged by the median PFS of 42.3 months reported for patients with advanced disease who were treatment naïve. These results compare favorably to published data for current standard-of-care regimens for patients with advanced disease who are treatment naïve. The results warrant further evaluation of gedatolisib in combination with a CDK4/6 inhibitor and endocrine therapy in early line settings, including first-line, neoadjuvant, or adjuvant indications."

A trial-in-progress poster describing Celcuity's Phase 3 clinical trial, VIKTORIA-1, was also presented at SABCS. This poster and the poster presenting updated Phase 1b results are available on the publications page of the Celcuity website.

Phase 1b Study Design and Results

Patients with HR+/HER2- advanced breast cancer were treated with gedatolisib combined with the CDK4/6 inhibitor, palbociclib, and endocrine therapy (either fulvestrant or letrozole). This study included two dose escalation and four dose expansion arms and enrolled a total of 138 patients. Preliminary efficacy and safety results were presented in 2021 (Layman 2021). Updates presented at the 2022 SABCS included efficacy results for patient sub-groups in the four expansion arms according to their PIK3CA mutation status (see Table 1).

Additional updates included efficacy results for the 41 patients in the study who did not receive prior therapy for advanced disease. In this combined group of treatment-naïve patients from Escalation Arm A and Expansion Arm A, median PFS was 42.3 months. Treatment discontinuation due to treatment related adverse events was 6.5% in Arm A, 15.4% in Arm B, 9.4% in Arm C and 3.7% in Arm D. Further details on baseline patient characteristics were also included.

About Gedatolisib

Gedatolisib is a potent, reversible dual inhibitor that selectively targets all Class I PI3K isoforms and mTOR. Its mechanism of action and pharmacokinetic properties are highly differentiated from other currently approved and investigational therapies that target PI3K or mTOR alone or together. Inhibiting all four Class I PI3K isoforms and mTOR limits the potential development of drug resistance compared with isoform-specific PI3K or mTOR specific inhibitors. A robust response rate and a manageable side effect profile were reported for the Phase 1b clinical trial that evaluated gedatolisib in combination with palbociclib and endocrine therapy in patients with HR+/HER2- advanced breast cancer.

About Celcuity

Celcuity is a clinical-stage biotechnology company focused on development of targeted therapies for treatment of multiple solid tumor indications. The company's lead therapeutic candidate is gedatolisib, a potent, reversible dual inhibitor that selectively targets all Class 1 PI3K isoforms and mTOR. Its mechanism of action and pharmacokinetic properties are highly differentiated from other currently approved and investigational therapies that target PI3K or mTOR alone or together. A Phase 3 clinical trial, VIKTORIA-1, evaluating gedatolisib in combination with fulvestrant with or without palbociclib in patients with HR+/HER2- advanced breast cancer is currently enrolling patients. More detailed information about the VIKTORIA-1 study can be found at ClinicalTrials.gov . The company's CELsignia companion diagnostic platform is uniquely able to analyze live patient tumor cells to identify new groups of cancer patients likely to benefit from already approved targeted therapies. Celcuity is headquartered in Minneapolis. Further information about Celcuity can be found at Celcuity.com . Follow us on LinkedIn and Twitter .
