Shares of Oncothyreon Inc (ONTY) soared to reach a new 52-week high in pre-market trading Monday, after the company reported positive data from its ongoing trials of ONT-380, an orally active, reversible and selective small-molecule HER2 inhibitor for the treatment of breast cancer.
ONT-380 has been well tolerated in both Phase 1b trials, an important consideration in patients who may need prolonged therapy
According to ONTY, data from the Phase 1b trial of ONT-380 in combination with Xeloda(R) (capecitabine) and Herceptin(R) (trastuzumab) in third line treatment of HER2-positive metastatic breast cancer support its plans to initiate a blinded, randomized, placebo-controlled Phase 2 trial in this indication, including endpoints focused on the prevention and treatment of HER2-positive breast cancer central nervous system (CNS) metastases. ONTY also said that its trial of ONT-380 in combination with Kadcyla continues to evaluate this combination for the treatment of patients with CNS metastases.
ONTY is a clinical-stage biopharmaceutical company specializing in the development of innovative therapeutic products for the treatment of cancer.

The price of Exelixis Inc. (EXEL) stock surged more than 10% before the opening bell Monday as the company announced positive results from the first of a two-stage phase 2 investigator-sponsored trial evaluating cabozantinib in patients with advanced RET-rearranged lung cancers.
EXEL said the study met its primary endpoint with a 38% objective response rate.
Cabozantinib inhibits the activity of tyrosine kinases including MET, VEGFRs and RET. These receptor tyrosine kinases are involved in both normal cellular function and in pathologic processes such as oncogenesis, metastasis, tumor angiogenesis, and maintenance of the tumor microenvironment
EXEL is a biopharmaceutical company committed to developing small molecule therapies for the treatment of cancer. The company is focusing its development and commercialization efforts primarily on COMETRIQ(R) (cabozantinib), its wholly-owned inhibitor of multiple receptor tyrosine kinases.
