About Tesetaxel
Tesetaxel is an investigational, orally administered
chemotherapy agent that belongs to a class of drugs known as
taxanes, which are widely used in the treatment of cancer.
Tesetaxel has several pharmacologic properties that make it unique
among taxanes, including: oral administration with a low pill
burden; a long (~8-day) terminal plasma half-life in humans,
enabling the maintenance of adequate drug levels with relatively
infrequent dosing; no history of hypersensitivity (allergic)
reactions; and significant activity against chemotherapy-resistant
tumors. In patients with metastatic breast cancer, tesetaxel was
shown to have significant, single-agent antitumor activity in two
multicenter, Phase 2 studies. Tesetaxel currently is the subject of
three studies in breast cancer, including a multinational,
multicenter, randomized, Phase 3 study in patients with metastatic
breast cancer, known as CONTESSA. Odonate recently announced
positive top-line results from CONTESSA, and full results are
scheduled to be presented at the San Antonio Breast Cancer
Symposium in December 2020.
About CONTESSA
CONTESSA is a multinational, multicenter, randomized, Phase 3
study of tesetaxel, an investigational, orally administered taxane,
in patients with metastatic breast cancer (MBC). CONTESSA is
comparing tesetaxel dosed orally at 27 mg/m2 on the first day of
each 21-day cycle plus a reduced dose of capecitabine (1,650
mg/m2/day dosed orally for 14 days of each 21-day cycle) to the
approved dose of capecitabine alone (2,500 mg/m2/day dosed orally
for 14 days of each 21-day cycle) in 685 patients randomized 1:1
with hormone receptor (HR)-positive, human epidermal growth factor
receptor 2 (HER2)-negative MBC previously treated with a taxane in
the neoadjuvant or adjuvant setting. Capecitabine is an oral
chemotherapy agent that is considered a standard-of-care treatment
in MBC. Where indicated, patients must have received endocrine
therapy with or without a cyclin-dependent kinase (CDK) 4/6
inhibitor. The primary endpoint is progression-free survival (PFS)
as assessed by an Independent Radiologic Review Committee (IRC).
The secondary efficacy endpoints are overall survival (OS),
objective response rate (ORR) as assessed by the IRC and disease
control rate (DCR) as assessed by the IRC.
