The findings were highlighted in an oral presentation at the virtual American Society of Clinical Oncology (ASCO) 2021 Annual Meeting.

Key Points: 
  • The findings were highlighted in an oral presentation at the virtual American Society of Clinical Oncology (ASCO) 2021 Annual Meeting.
  • Results announced previously showed that the addition of telaglenastat to cabozantinib did not improve progression-free survival (PFS) in the study population.
  • Median progression-free survival (mPFS) in patients who received telaglenastat and cabozantinib was 9.2 months versus 9.3 months in patients who received placebo and cabozantinib.
  • The frequency and severity of adverse events in the telaglenastat-treated population were comparable to those of cabozantinib alone and remained consistent with known risks of both agents.
