[{"type":"text","content":"• Data show tumor shrinkage and prolonged disease control in both monotherapy and in combination with pembrolizumab • Oral, once-daily cancer treatment well tolerated with a manageable safety profile • Data to be reported at the 2023 ASCO Annual Meeting BRISBANE, Calif., May 25, 2023 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- May 25, 2023 – Tempest Therapeutics, Inc. (Nasdaq: TPST), a clinical-stage oncology company developing first-in-classi therapeutics that combine both targeted and immune-mediated mechanisms, announced today that Phase 1 clinical trial data for TPST-1495, the company’s novel dual receptor inhibitor of prostaglandin (PGE2) signaling, will be presented at the 2023 American Society of Clinical Oncology (ASCO) Annual Meeting to be held in Chicago from June 2-6, 2023. The first-in-human Phase 1a/1b, multicenter, open-label, dose-escalation trial included patients with metastatic or unresectable solid tumors and treatment-refractory disease with no remaining standard therapy to confer clinical benefit. The data showed that in a diverse and treatment-refractory patient population, treatment with TPST-1495 as a monotherapy and in combination with pembrolizumab resulted in tumor shrinkage and prolonged stable disease in certain patients, as well as a durable confirmed partial response (PR) in a combination therapy patient with microsatellite stable colorectal cancer (MSS CRC), an indication not normally responsive to immunotherapy. The safety profile for TPST-1495 monotherapy on the recommended once-daily schedule was tolerable, with predominantly Grade 1-2 treatment related adverse events (TRAEs), including abdominal pain (17.9% All Grade and 0% Grade 3+), nausea (20.5% All Grade and 0% Grade 3+), and diarrhea (15.4% All Grade and 2.6% Grade 3+). For the combination with pembrolizumab, the most common TRAEs were nausea (29.2% All Grade and 0% Grade 3+), fatigue (20.8% All Grade and 4.2% Grade 3+) and diarrhea (20.8% All Grade, 0% Grade 3+). No TRAEs of Grade ≥4 were reported. On the recommended once-daily schedule, the disease control rate (DCR) by RECIST v1.1 was 44% for patients on monotherapy TPST-1495 and 40.9% for patients on TPST-1495 with pembrolizumab (including a confirmed PR in a patient with MSS CRC and a stable disease rate of 36.4%). TPST-1495 also demonstrated near-linear relationship of exposure-to-dose that was unaffected ...
