Study Result summary
11 Jan, 2026Study Design and Objectives
The CRDF-004 Phase 2 trial is a randomized study in first-line RAS-mutated mCRC, enrolling 90 patients to compare 20mg and 30mg onvansertib plus standard of care (SoC) versus SoC alone, with arms balanced for baseline characteristics.
The primary endpoint is objective response rate (ORR); secondary endpoints include duration of response, progression-free survival, and safety, all assessed by blinded independent central review.
The trial aims to confirm the optimal onvansertib dose for registration, evaluate efficacy and safety, and inform future regulatory strategy.
Enrollment is progressing well, with two-thirds of patients enrolled and completion expected in early 2025.
Additional clinical data are expected in the first half of 2025.
Efficacy Results
The 30mg onvansertib arm achieved a 64% ORR, nearly double the 33% in the SoC control arm, with deeper tumor regressions and more pronounced tumor shrinkage.
Across all experimental arms, the ORR was 57% versus 33% in controls, with consistent efficacy between FOLFIRI and FOLFOX backbones.
Dose response was observed: higher onvansertib dose led to deeper and more frequent responses.
Most patients remain on trial, with deepening responses over time, especially at the 30mg dose.
All efficacy data were determined by blinded, independent central review as of November 26, 2024.
Safety and Tolerability
Onvansertib was generally well-tolerated at both 20mg and 30mg doses, with no unmanageable or unexpected toxicities and manageable side effects.
Treatment-emergent adverse events were common in all arms, with grade ≥3 events in 55.6% of control and 71.4% of experimental arms.
Most frequent TEAEs included fatigue, nausea, neutrophil count decrease, and diarrhoea; grade 4 neutropenia resolved with treatment delays.
Onvansertib can be safely combined with both FOLFIRI and FOLFOX chemotherapy backbones.
Four patients discontinued: two for curative surgery after becoming resectable, two for adverse events attributed to standard therapies, not onvansertib.
