Item 8.01 Other Events.
Phase 1b/2 Trial of Palazestrant in Combination with Ribociclib
In October 2025, the Company presented updated data from the Phase 1b/2 study of palazestrant in combination with ribociclib in patients with ER+/HER2- advanced or MBC.
As of July 8, 2025, 72 patients were enrolled across the 90 mg and 120 mg palazestrant dose cohorts. 56 patients received 120 mg once-daily palazestrant and 16 patients received 90 mg once-daily palazestrant, all with the approved dose of ribociclib for metastatic breast cancer of 600 mg daily. 45 (63%) patients had prior treatment with CDK4/6i with endocrine therapy for advanced disease. 33% (15/45) of patients who had prior treatment with CDK4/6i in the advanced setting (2/3L) had an ESR1 mutation at baseline.
In the 90 mg palazestrant dose cohort, with a median follow-up of 10.8 months, mPFS was not reached. In the 120 mg palazestrant dose cohort, with a median follow-up of more than 19 months, mPFS are mature. mPFS was 15.5 months for all patients. mPFS was 12.2 months for those who received prior treatment with CDK4/6i, including 9.2 months for patients with ESR1 wild-type tumors and 13.8 months for patients with tumors with ESR1 mutations.
Across 72 patients treated, 90 mg or 120 mg of palazestrant combined with 600 mg of ribociclib daily was well tolerated with no new safety signals or increase in toxicity. Palazestrant and ribociclib did not demonstrate any drug-drug interactions and the overall safety profile was consistent with the established safety profile of ribociclib plus an endocrine therapy. The majority of treatment-emergent adverse events were grade 1 or 2, and the severity and incidence of adverse events were consistent with the expected safety profile of each drug.
These data support the ongoing pivotal Phase 3 OPERA-02 clinical trial of palazestrant in combination with ribociclib in frontline ER+/HER2- MBC.
