🚨Phase 2 clinical trial data update🚨 Today, Cardiff Oncology announced positive initial data from CRDF-004, a randomized Phase 2 #clinicaltrial evaluating onvansertib in combination with standard-of-care (SoC) in patients with first-line metastatic #colorectalcancer (mCRC). With 30 patients spanning 6 control arms, there was a 64% objective response rate in the onvansertib group at a 30mg dose versus 33% in the control group. “These data support our belief that onvansertib has potential to change the treatment paradigm for the entire first-line RAS-mutated mCRC #patient population of 50,000 new patients diagnosed in the U.S. annually,” said Mark Erlander, Ph.D., Cardiff Oncology CEO. We look forward to providing additional updates from our CRDF-004 trial in the first half of 2025. Learn more: https://ow.ly/j19g50Uob7S

Cardiff Oncology is a clinical-stage company with the mission of developing new treatment options for cancer patients.
About us
Cardiff Oncology is a clinical-stage biotechnology company, headquartered in San Diego, CA, leveraging PLK1 inhibition, a well-validated oncology drug target, to develop novel therapies across a range of cancers. Our lead asset is onvansertib, a PLK1 inhibitor being evaluated in combination with standard-of-care (SoC) therapeutics in clinical programs targeting indications such as KRAS/NRAS-mutated metastatic colorectal cancer (mCRC) and metastatic pancreatic ductal adenocarcinoma (mPDAC), as well as in investigator-initiated trials in triple negative breast cancer (TNBC) and small cell lung cancer (SCLC). These programs and Cardiff's broader development strategy are designed to target tumor vulnerabilities in order to overcome treatment resistance and deliver superior clinical benefit compared to the SoC alone.

Cardiff at San Antonio Breast Cancer Symposium! The Cardiff Oncology team had a fantastic time at #SABCS24. Dr. Sreeja Sreekumar, PhD and Dr. Maya Ridinger, PhD presented two posters, showcasing the potential of lead clinical asset onvansertib, in combination therapies for HR+ breast cancer. The posters highlighted preclinical findings demonstrating that onvansertib enhances the anti-tumor efficacy of trastuzumab deruxtecan or paclitaxel in endocrine therapy- and CDK4/6 inhibitor-resistant HR+/HER2- #breastcancer models. The team also shared mechanistic insights into the synergistic efficacy of onvansertib and paclitaxel. Congrats to everyone involved in these programs. If you missed us at the #SABCS event, both posters are available on our website: https://lnkd.in/eRAJqQsV #cancerresearch

Watch CEO Mark Erlander, Ph.D. sit down with BiotechTV to discuss our recent interim CRDF-004 Phase 2 data and what’s coming in 2025 for onvansertib.
I had the opportunity to sit down with BiotechTV to discuss the interim Phase 2 data for CRDF-004, our PLK1 inhibitor for first-line RAS-mutated metastatic #colorectalcancer (mCRC). In the interview with Brian Orelli, PhD, we dive into the rationale behind targeting PLK1, why this pathway is critical for patients with RAS mutations, and our discovery of a new mechanism of action of onvansertib that works in concert with bevacizumab that we believe is an underlying reason for the observed interim data. I hope you enjoy the conversation! Watch the full interview here: https://lnkd.in/gQ4kYgDE

We’re honored to see our Chief Scientific Officer, Dr. Tod Smeal, featured in Partnology’s Biotech Leader Spotlight Series! 🎉 Over the past 20 years of his career, Dr. Smeal has been at the forefront of #oncology innovation. His work, at major organizations like Pfizer, Eli Lilly, and Sugen, has contributed to the development of numerous first-in-human drugs and FDA-approved therapies. This extensive experience led him to becoming our CSO, where he focuses on advancing onvansertib which has the potential to transform treatment for KRAS-mutant metastatic #colorectalcancer. Thank you again, Partnology, for recognizing Dr. Smeal’s impact on #cancerresearch. 👇 Be sure to check out the full interview to learn more about Tod and his work in developing therapies that are turning the tide on #cancer.
In this weeks Biotech Leader Spotlight Series we're recognizing Tod Smeal, Ph.D., Chief Scientific Officer of Cardiff Oncology. Check out his interview to learn more about his work in developing #cancer therapies focused on intracellular signaling, kinases, drug #pharmacology, and targeted #therapies and their resistance mechanisms: Dr. Tod Smeal, Ph.D. has served as Chief Scientific Officer (CSO) of Cardiff Oncology since January 2022. Previously he was CSO at Hexagon Bio (2020-2021), CSO of Cancer Biology at Eli Lilly and Company (2015-2020), Director at the Oncology Research Unit of Pfizer(2003-2015), and Senior Group Leader at the Sugen site of Pharmacia and Upjohn and Sugen (1998-2003). When Pfizer closed the Sugen site in 2003, Dr. Smeal continued his oncology research efforts on targeted therapies and their resistance mechanisms with Pfizer at their San Diego oncology research site. Subsequently in 2015, Dr. Smeal joined Eli Lilly where he led their oncology research efforts at Lilly Research Labs in Indianapolis. During his over 20 years in industry working on targeted therapies, Dr. Smeal has played key leadership roles in delivering about 20 FHD/NMEs and several FDA approved drugs (e.g., Lorbrena, Xalkori, Vizimpro and Nirogacestat). He has over 45 publications which include high-impact publications in Cell, Nature, New England Journal of Medicine, JCO, Cancer Cell and Cancer Discovery. From 1994 to 1998, Dr. Smeal was a post-doctoral fellow of the American Cancer Society and a senior post-doctoral fellow of the MIT-Merck fellowship program. Dr. Smeal holds a B.S. in Biology from the Massachusetts Institute of Technology and a Ph.D. in Biology from UC San Diego. #biotechleader #biotechexecutive #biotech #biotechnology #biopharma #oncology #cancerresearch #drugdevelopment #therapeutics #pharma

Today, Cardiff Oncology shared several Q3 2024 clinical and business updates. Highlights include: ☑️ Our CRDF-004 trial for first-line treatment of RAS-mutated metastatic #colorectalcancer (mCRC) evaluating onvansertib in combination with chemotherapy and bevacizumab (bev) continues to enroll, and we anticipate the initial readout from the randomized CRDF-004 trial by the end of 2024. ☑️ Our clinical data demonstrating the safety and activity of onvansertib combined with FOLFIRI and bev in second-line KRAS-mutant mCRC was published in the Journal of Clinical Oncology, the flagship publication of the American Society of Clinical Oncology (ASCO). ☑️ A recent publication of preclinical data in the peer-reviewed journal, Cancers MDPI, shows that the combination of onvansertib and alpelisib more effectively targets tumor growth and induction of apoptosis in #breastcancer models resistant to endocrine therapy and CDK4/6 inhibitors.

It’s with great excitement that we announce the publication of our Phase 2 #clinicaltrial data in the American Society of Clinical Oncology (ASCO)’s Journal of Clinical Oncology. The combination of Cardiff Oncology’s lead molecule onvansertib with FOLFIRI and bevacizumab (bev) for second-line treatment of KRAS mutant metastatic #colorectalcancer (#mCRC) demonstrated positive results. Our clinical findings were supported by compelling translational research. Key highlights from the study include: - A 77% objective response rate in bev-naïve patients, compared to just 10% in those previously exposed. - A median progression-free survival of 14.9 months for bev-naïve patients, demonstrating significant clinical benefit - New discovery that onvansertib exhibits antitumor activity in combination with bev through the inhibition of angiogenesis. 👉 Read the full press release here: https://lnkd.in/eq7Wr9tJ Congratulations to everyone involved!
