DURHAM, N.C., Nov. 11, 2024 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Chimerix (NASDAQ: CMRX), a biopharmaceutical company whose mission it is to develop medicines that meaningfully improve and extend the lives of patients facing deadly diseases, today announced upcoming presentations at the 2024 Society for Neuro-Oncology (SNO) Annual Meeting, which will be held in Houston, TX from November 21 – 24, 2024.
“We are excited to provide an updated assessment of objective response to dordaviprone previously reported in the blinded independent central review (BICR) cohort1 in recurrent H3 K27M-mutant diffuse midline glioma using Response Assessment in Neuro-Oncology (RANO) 2.02, the most recently established criteria for this disease. This analysis demonstrates an overall response rate of 28.0%, a median time to response of 4.6 months plus a median duration of response of 10.4 months,” said Allen Melemed, MD, Chief Medical Officer at Chimerix. We expect to include the updated RANO 2.0 results in our planned upcoming New Drug Application to Australian regulators.”
“RANO 2.0 is a recently established response assessment criteria for gliomas that supersedes prior versions such as RANO-HGG and RANO-LGG. RANO 2.0 incorporates an integrated quantitative assessment of both enhancing and non-enhancing disease that were not adequately assessed by prior criteria. In addition, it includes minor responses, which in certain regions of the brain, such as midline structures, have disproportionate clinical benefit. This benefit often includes meaningful improvement in neurological symptoms and quality of life outcomes,” said Patrick Y. Wen, MD, Director of the Center for Neuro-Oncology at Dana-Farber Cancer Institute.
Details for the RANO 2.0 presentation as well as other pipeline presentations at SNO are as follows:
