Friday, January 26, 2024

Orion presented yesterday at the 2024 ASCO GU Cancers Symposium a poster with additional data from the ongoing Phase II CYPIDES trial evaluating the safety and efficacy of ODM-208 (or MK-5684), an investigational, oral CYP11A1 inhibitor, in heavily pretreated patients with metastatic castration-resistant prostate cancer (mCRPC) with and without AR-LBD mutations.

Key Points: 
  • Orion presented yesterday at the 2024 ASCO GU Cancers Symposium a poster with additional data from the ongoing Phase II CYPIDES trial evaluating the safety and efficacy of ODM-208 (or MK-5684), an investigational, oral CYP11A1 inhibitor, in heavily pretreated patients with metastatic castration-resistant prostate cancer (mCRPC) with and without AR-LBD mutations.
  • The new data reports initial results in an extension cohort of mainly AR-LBD wild-type patients combined with previously reported phase 2 data (AR-LBD mutation-positive only).
  • Data from the Phase II CYPIDES trial suggest that ODM-208/MK-5684 potently inhibits all steroid-hormone biosynthesis with observed antitumor activity in a heavily pretreated mCRPC population, especially in patients with AR-LBD mutations.
  • In Phase II CYPIDES, at data cut-off, a total of 134 previously treated mCRPC patients received 5mg of ODM-208/MK-5684 twice a day with glucocorticoid/mineralocorticoid replacement and ongoing androgen-deprivation therapy.
