R&D Update summary
8 Jul, 2026Key clinical data and differentiation
Rinatabart Sesutecan (Rina-S®) demonstrated high efficacy and durable responses in heavily pretreated ovarian and endometrial cancer patients, with objective response rates of 55.6% in ovarian cancer (120 mg/m²) and up to 50% in endometrial cancer, including complete responses, with median duration of response not reached at 48 weeks follow-up.
Efficacy and safety were consistent across all levels of folate receptor alpha expression, supporting its use as an all-comers therapy rather than requiring biomarker selection.
Responses occurred early, with a median time to response of 6 weeks, and most efficacy-evaluable patients experienced tumor burden reduction.
Durable responses were observed, with a majority of responses ongoing at median follow-up, and low discontinuation rates due to adverse events.
The 100 mg/m² dose was selected for further development in endometrial cancer due to optimal efficacy and safety, especially considering higher BMI in this population.
Safety profile
The safety profile was manageable, with cytopenias and low-grade gastrointestinal events as the most common adverse events, and no observed ocular toxicity, interstitial lung disease, or neuropathy.
TEAEs of any grade occurred in 100% of patients, with grade ≥3 TEAEs in 77.2% (100 mg/m²) and 76.1% (120 mg/m²) of endometrial cancer patients.
Serious TEAEs were reported in 31.8% (100 mg/m²) and 50.0% (120 mg/m²) of patients, with two fatal events in the higher dose cohort.
Myelosuppression is manageable with guideline-based prophylaxis, and dose selection is informed by pharmacokinetic and safety data.
Development and expansion plans
Multiple pivotal trials are ongoing or planned, including phase III trials in platinum-resistant and platinum-sensitive ovarian cancer, and endometrial cancer, with dosing in new studies expected before year-end.
A phase II trial in non-small cell lung cancer will launch before year-end, exploring both EGFR-mutated and broader adenocarcinoma populations.
Combination studies with standard of care agents are underway in both ovarian and endometrial cancers.
Future expansion into additional solid tumors is planned, with further announcements expected in the coming months.
