Retrieved on: 
Monday, September 11, 2023

MIAMI, Sept. 11, 2023 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Veru Inc. (NASDAQ: VERU), a late clinical stage biopharmaceutical company focused on developing novel medicines for metastatic breast cancer and for viral induced acute respiratory distress syndrome (ARDS), today announced clinical data from the discontinued Phase 3 ARTEST clinical trial of enobosarm monotherapy for the 3rd line or greater in the metastatic setting of AR+ER+HER2- breast cancer. Enrollment was discontinued in order to prioritize and focus the clinical development of enobosarm therapy earlier in the treatment sequence, the 2nd line metastatic setting, for AR+ER+HER2- metastatic breast cancer in the Phase 3 ENABLAR-2 (enobosarm +/- abemaciclib CDK 4/6 inhibitor) study. Data reported from the discontinued trial, which is based on an analysis of available data, may not be predictive of the results of larger, later-stage controlled clinical trials.

Key Points: 
  • “The clinical results from the ARTEST study provide promising scientific support and validation for the potential of enobosarm therapy in the ongoing Phase 3 ENABLAR-2 study.
  • The AR+ER+HER2- metastatic breast cancer patients enrolled in the Phase 3 ARTEST study were heavily pretreated.
  • On average, either enobosarm or the standard of care active control in ARTEST was given as 4th line treatment.
  • We are encouraged by these early results, and it appears to be the right decision to move and focus enobosarm’s clinical development earlier to the 2nd line metastatic setting for ER+HER2- metastatic breast cancer patients in the Phase 3 ENABLAR-2 study.”
