Dow Jumps 400 Points; US Adds 12,000 Jobs In October

On Thursday, ESSA Pharma Inc. (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/EPIX#NASDAQ">EPIX</a>) announced its plans to terminate the Phase 2 trial of masofaniten combined with enzalutamide versus enzalutamide single agent in patients with metastatic castration-resistant prostate cancer (mCRPC) naïve to <a target="_blank" href="https://www.benzinga.com/pressreleases/24/10/n41669391/essa-pharma-announces-termination-of-phase-2-study-evaluating-masofaniten-combined-with-enzalutami" rel="noreferrer noopener">second-generation antiandrogens</a>.
This decision was based on a protocol-specified interim review of the safety, PK, and efficacy data, which showed a much higher rate of PSA90 response in patients treated with Pfizer Inc&#8217;s (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/PFE#NYSE">PFE</a>) Xtandi (enzalutamide) monotherapy (which is the standard of care for this patient population) than expected based on historical data.
In addition, there was no clear efficacy benefit seen with the combination of masofaniten plus enzalutamide compared to enzalutamide single agent.
A futility analysis determined a low likelihood of meeting the prespecified primary endpoint of the study.
The combination of masofaniten plus enzalutamide was well-tolerated with no new safety signals and a safety profile similar to that seen in Phase 1 studies.
&#8220;We made the difficult decision to terminate this Phase 2 study following the interim analysis because we concluded that the emerging efficacy profile of masofaniten combined with enzalutamide would not likely meet the primary endpoint of the study, nor our internal requirements for a prostate cancer therapy candidate,&#8221; said&nbsp;David Parkinson, President, and CEO.
As part of the effort to focus its resources, ESSA is also planning to terminate the other remaining company-sponsored and investigator-sponsored clinical studies evaluating masofaniten either as a monotherapy or in combination <a target="_blank" href="https://www.benzinga.com/pressreleases/24/09/n40862721/essa-pharma-presents-updated-phase-12-masofaniten-epi-7386-clinical-data-at-the-2024-esmo-congress" rel="noreferrer noopener">with other agents</a>.
As of&nbsp;September 30, 2024, the company had available cash reserves and short-term investments of&nbsp;$126.8 million&nbsp;and net working capital of&nbsp;$124.3 million.
In September, ESSA Pharma announced the presentation of updated dose escalation data from its Phase 1/2 study of masofaniten (formerly EPI-7386) in combination with enzalutamide at the 2024 European Society for Medical Oncology (ESMO) Congress.
Across all dose cohorts, 88% of patients (14 of 16) achieved PSA50, 88% of patients (14 of 16) achieved PSA90, 69% of patients (11 of 16) achieved PSA90 in less than 90 days, and 63% of patients (10 of 16) achieved PSA &lt;0.2ng/mL.
Price Action: EPIX stock was down 69.80% at $1.57 during the premarket session at the last check on Friday.

ESSA Pharma shares are trading lower after the company announced it terminated its Phase 2 study evaluating masofaniten combined with enzalutamide in patients with mCRPC

Efficacy signals observed will not achieve ESSA's target product profile in patients with metastatic castration-resistant prostate cancer naïve to second-generation antiandrogens
&nbsp;A futility analysis conducted as part of a protocol-specified interim review of the safety, PK and efficacy data showed the single-agent enzalutamide control arm performing better than historical controls and similar to the combination of masofaniten and enzalutamide and therefore, unlikely to achieve the primary endpoint of the study&nbsp;
Additional clinical studies with masofaniten including the combination study with abiraterone acetate and apalutamide as well as the remaining investigator sponsored trials will also be terminated and the IND and CTAs in different geographies will be withdrawn

ESSA Pharma shares are trading higher after the company announced it presented data on prostate cancer therapy Masofaniten at ESMO 2024.

ESSA Pharma Inc. ("ESSA", or the "Company") (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/EPIX#NASDAQ">EPIX</a>), a clinical-stage pharmaceutical company focused on developing novel therapies for the treatment of prostate cancer, today announced the presentation of updated dose escalation data from its Phase 1/2 study evaluating masofaniten (formerly EPI-7386) in combination with enzalutamide at the 2024 European Society for Medical Oncology (ESMO) Congress, taking place September 13-17, 2024, in Barcelona, Spain. Masofaniten is a first-in-class N-terminal domain androgen receptor ("AR") inhibitor that suppresses androgen activity through a novel mechanism of action and is being developed for the treatment of prostate cancer. The poster presentation is available on the "Publications" section of the Company's website at&nbsp;www.essapharma.com.
"We are pleased to be sharing more mature data from the Phase 1 dose escalation study evaluating masofaniten in combination with enzalutamide today at ESMO 2024. The combination continues to be well tolerated with prolonged reductions in circulating prostate-specific antigen ("PSA") levels in patients with metastatic castration-resistant prostate cancer ("mCRPC"). After 15.2 months of follow up, neither median time to PSA progression nor radiographic progression free survival have been reached. These data compare favorably to historical data for single agent enzalutamide treatment in the mCRPC patient population," said David Parkinson, MD, President and CEO of ESSA. "We continue to focus on the enrollment of the Phase 2 dose expansion study evaluating masofaniten in combination with enzalutamide, with 33 sites activated in the US,&nbsp;Canada&nbsp;and&nbsp;Australia&nbsp;and an additional 22 sites anticipated in&nbsp;Europe. We look forward to providing further updates in 2025."

Thursday,&nbsp;ESSA Pharma Inc&nbsp;(NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/EPIX#NASDAQ">EPIX</a>) shares closed 22.6% lower at $6.80. According to data from&nbsp;<a target="_blank" href="https://www.benzinga.com/pro/feature/newsfeed" rel="noreferrer noopener">Benzinga Pro</a>, session volume stands at 447.615K compared to the average volume (100 days) of 132.003K.
The company announced the presentation of updated dose escalation data from its Phase 1/2 study evaluating masofaniten (formerly EPI-7386) in combination with enzalutamide at the 2024 ASCO&nbsp;<a target="_blank" href="https://www.benzinga.com/pressreleases/24/01/n36781818/essa-pharma-presents-updated-phase-1-masofaniten-epi-7386-clinical-data-at-the-2024-asco-genitouri" rel="noreferrer noopener">Genitourinary Cancers Symposium</a>.
Masofaniten is a first-in-class N-terminal domain androgen receptor inhibitor that suppresses androgen activity through a novel mechanism of action and is being developed for prostate cancer.&nbsp;
In the patients evaluable for efficacy (n=16), rapid, deep, and durable reductions in prostate-specific antigen (PSA) were observed, regardless of previous chemotherapy status, including in patients who received lower than the full dose of enzalutamide (120 mg).&nbsp;
Across all dose cohorts, 88% of patients (14 of 16) achieved PSA50, 81% of patients (13 of 16) achieved PSA90, 69% of patients (11 of 16) achieved PSA90 in less than 90 days, and 63% of patients (10 of 16) achieved PSA &lt;0.2ng/mL.&nbsp;
While the data for disease PSA progression are still maturing with a current median follow-up of 11.1 months, the median time to PSA progression is 16.6 months.
The randomized, open-label, two-arm, Phase 2 dose expansion portion of the study is underway to evaluate the combination of masofaniten and enzalutamide versus single-agent enzalutamide in patients with metastatic castration-resistant prostate cancer (mCRPC) naïve to second-generation anti-androgens.&nbsp;

("ESSA", or the "Company") (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/EPIX#NASDAQ">EPIX</a>), a clinical-stage pharmaceutical company focused on developing novel therapies for the treatment of prostate cancer, today announced the presentation of updated dose escalation data from its Phase 1/2 study evaluating masofaniten (formerly EPI-7386) in combination with enzalutamide at the 2024 ASCO Genitourinary Cancers Symposium, taking place January 25 - 27, 2024, in San Francisco, CA. Masofaniten is a first-in-class N-terminal domain androgen receptor ("AR") inhibitor that suppresses androgen activity through a novel mechanism of action and is being developed for the treatment of prostate cancer. The poster presentation is available on the "Publications" section of the Company's website at&nbsp;<a href="http://www.essapharma.com/">www.essapharma.com</a>.
"The maturing data from the Phase 1 dose escalation study evaluating masofaniten in combination with enzalutamide continue to demonstrate that the combination is well tolerated, accompanied by deep and durable reductions in circulating prostate-specific antigen ("PSA") levels. While the data are still immature, the durability of the PSA responses is encouraging with a median time to PSA progression currently at 16.6 months. The Phase 2 dose expansion head-to-head portion of the study is underway and is designed to evaluate the proportion of patients with a PSA decline on combination therapy compared to single agent enzalutamide," said David Parkinson, MD, President and CEO of ESSA. "We look forward to evaluating the potential long-term benefits of masofaniten in patients with metastatic castration-resistant prostate cancer ("mCRPC") and to providing future updates."
Poster presentation details:
Title:&nbsp;Phase 1/2 trial of oral EPI-7386 (masofaniten) in combination with enzalutamide (Enz) compared to Enz alone in patients with metastatic castration-resistant prostate cancer (mCRPC): Phase 1 (P1) results and phase 2 (P2) design. Presenting Author:&nbsp;Christos Kyriakopoulos, MD, University of Wisconsin-Madison Carbone Cancer Center Abstract #:&nbsp;141 Date and time: Thursday, January 25, 2024; 11:30-1:00 p.m. PT
Data summary: This Phase 1/2 multicenter, open-label clinical trial enrolled patients with mCRPC who have received androgen deprivation therapy and who are naïve to second-generation antiandrogens but may have been treated previously with one line of prior chemotherapy in the metastatic hormone-sensitive prostate cancer setting. The data presented today include 18 patients across four cohorts in the Phase 1 dose escalation portion of the study. Masofaniten has no effect on enzalutamide exposure, thus allowing the use of full dose per label (160mg) of enzalutamide in combination. Enzalutamide reduces masofaniten exposure but twice daily dosing of masofaniten appears to mitigate the reduction and maintains clinically relevant drug exposures.
In patients evaluable for safety (n=18), masofaniten combined with enzalutamide, continues to be well-tolerated at the dose levels tested through 25 cycles of dosing in some patients. Most frequent adverse events were Grades 1 and 2, related to either AR inhibition or gastrointestinal tract irritation. In Cohort 4, one patient experienced a Grade 3 rash, which was observed immediately following administration of masofaniten combined with enzalutamide and deemed probably related, resulting in the expansion of the cohort from four to seven patients. No additional dose-limiting toxicities (DLTs) were observed, therefore the maximum tolerated dose (MTD) was not reached. The recommended Phase 2 combination doses (RP2CDs) were identified as masofaniten 600 mg twice daily (BID) in combination with enzalutamide 160 mg once daily (QD).
In the patients evaluable for efficacy (n=16), rapid, deep and durable reductions in PSA were observed, regardless of previous chemotherapy status, including in patients who received lower than the full dose of enzalutamide (120 mg). Across all dose cohorts, 88% of patients (14 of 16) achieved PSA50, 81% of patients (13 of 16) achieved PSA90, 69% of patients (11 of 16) achieved PSA90 in less than 90 days, and 63% of patients (10 of 16) achieved PSA &lt;0.2ng/mL. While the data for disease PSA progression are still maturing with a current median follow up of 11.1 months, the median time to PSA progression is at 16.6 months.
The randomized, open-label, two arm, Phase 2 dose expansion portion of the study is underway and is designed to evaluate the combination of masofaniten and enzalutamide versus single agent enzalutamide in patients with mCRPC naïve to second generation anti-androgens. The study is currently enrolling at approximately 25 sites in the USA, Canada and Australia. Expansion to European sites is in progress.
About Masofaniten
Masofaniten (formerly known as EPI-7386) is a first-in-class investigational, highly selective, oral, small molecule inhibitor of the N-terminal domain ("NTD") of the androgen receptor ("AR"). Masofaniten's unique mechanism of action disrupts the AR signaling pathway, the primary pathway that drives prostate cancer growth, by selectively binding to the NTD, a region of the AR that is not currently targeted by other therapies. Masofaniten is currently being studied in an open-label, randomized Phase&nbsp;2 clinical trial (NCT05075577) in combination with&nbsp;enzalutamide in patients with metastatic castration-resistant prostate cancer (mCRPC) naïve to second-generation antiandrogens. ESSA is also conducting a Phase 1 monotherapy study (NCT04421222) in patients with mCRPC whose tumors have progressed on standard-of-care therapies. The U.S. Food and Drug Administration has granted Fast Track designation to masofaniten for the treatment of adult male patients with mCRPC resistant to standard-of-care treatment. ESSA retains all rights to masofaniten worldwide.
