TRYbeCA-1, the pivotal Phase 3 clinical trial evaluating ERYTECH’s lead product candidate, eryaspase, in second-line metastatic pancreatic cancer, has randomized more than 450 of the approximately 500 patients to be enrolled in the trial. The interim superiority analysis, to be conducted by the Independent Data Monitoring Committee when two-thirds of the events have occurred, is currently expected to take place around year-end 2020. Since the interim analysis does not include a test for futility, there will be two possible outcomes: (1) the trial will either continue toward a final analysis, expected in the second half of 2021, or (2) the trial will be stopped for superiority if the primary endpoint is met by demonstrating a significant improvement in overall survival (OS). In April 2020, the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) granted eryaspase Fast Track Designation as a potential second-line treatment of patients with metastatic pancreatic cancer.
On September 29, 2020 at 10:00 am ET, ERYTECH will host a call that will include a presentation by KOL Dr. Manuel Hidalgo, MD, Ph.D. (Weill Cornell Medicine/New York Presbyterian Hospital), who will discuss the current treatment landscape and unmet medical need in treating patients with pancreatic cancer, and an update by Erytech’s management on eryaspase and the TRYbeCA-1 trial. Dr. Hidalgo and management will be available to answer questions at the conclusion of the call.
