Program (Target):
Onapristone extended release (ONA-XR) is a potent and specific antagonist of the progesterone receptor that is orally administered. Currently, there are no approved therapies that selectively target PR+ cancers. Preliminary preclinical and clinical data suggest that ONA-XR has anticancer activity by inhibiting the binding of progesterone receptor to chromatin, down regulating cancer stem cell mobilization, and blocking immune evasion. [1,2] ONA-XR is an investigational drug that has not been approved for marketing by any regulatory authority.

Clinical Trial Description:
A multicenter, open-label, Simon 2-stage adaptive Phase 2 trial to evaluate the efficacy and safety of the anticancer agent ONA-XR in combination with the antiestrogen anastrozole in advanced granulosa cell tumors of the ovary that are progesterone receptor positive (PR+). The primary endpoint will assess the overall response rate (ORR), which is the proportion of patients that have either a complete or partial response, obtained with ONA-XR in each of these tumors. The secondary objectives of the study will include endpoints to better characterize the activity of ONA-XR, such as duration of response, clinical benefit, and progression-free survival (PFS). In addition, this study will evaluate the safety and pharmacological profile of ONA-XR in these patients, as well as biomarker analyses to explore predictive factors of drug response.
