PLOS ONE Publishes Data on Allarity Therapeutics’ DRP® Companion Diagnostic for Dovitinib
Data showed that the DRP®-Dovitinib CDx was able to identify a subgroup of advanced renal cell carcinoma (RCC) patients that have improved clinical benefit from treatment with dovitinib, as compared to unselected patients.
- Data showed that the DRP®-Dovitinib CDx was able to identify a subgroup of advanced renal cell carcinoma (RCC) patients that have improved clinical benefit from treatment with dovitinib, as compared to unselected patients.
- “This is the first validated predictive biomarker in renal cell carcinoma, a long-standing goal in potentially improving the treatment of these patients.
- An additional prospective trial would be required before RCC patients that are candidates for dovitinib can benefit from this diagnostic breakthrough.
- In addition, in partnership with Allarity , Oncoheroes Biosciences has an ongoing program to develop dovitinib, together with the DRP®-dovitinib CDx, as a treatment for pediatric osteosarcoma.
