Cardiff Oncology, Inc. has announced positive interim results from its Phase 2 CRDF-004 trial for onvansertib in combination with chemotherapy and bevacizumab for first-line RAS-mutated metastatic colorectal cancer (mCRC). The presentation highlighted a 72% Objective Response Rate (ORR) with the 30 mg dose of onvansertib plus FOLFIRI/bevacizumab, a 30% improvement over the standard of care (SoC). Median Progression-Free Survival (PFS) was not reached in the onvansertib arm compared to 12.2 months for SoC. The company has selected the 30 mg onvansertib + FOLFIRI/bev combination for its registrational study, CRDF-005, which will have dual primary endpoints of ORR and PFS and is designed for potential accelerated approval. The safety profile was deemed clean, with no new or unexpected toxicities.

Cardiff Oncology, Inc. is embroiled in a legal dispute with Nerviano Medical Sciences S.r.l. (NMS) regarding their License Agreement. Cardiff previously filed a lawsuit seeking to compel NMS to continue performance and a declaratory judgment that Cardiff did not breach the agreement. NMS subsequently informed Cardiff of its termination of the agreement, citing alleged material breaches related to patent inventorship and failure to use commercially reasonable efforts for onvansertib development.
