Data Supports Phase 2 ALPINE Study of Tarextumab in Pancreatic Cancer and Phase 2 PINNACLE Trial in Small Cell Lung Cancer

MADRID and REDWOOD CITY, Calif., Sept. 29, 2014 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- OncoMed Pharmaceuticals, Inc. (Nasdaq:OMED), a clinical-stage company developing novel therapeutics that target cancer stem cells (CSCs), or tumor-initiating cells, presented promising data on safety and anti-tumor activity from the ALPINE and PINNACLE Phase 1b clinical studies of tarextumab (anti-Notch2/3, OMP-59R5) at the European Society for Medical Oncology (ESMO) 2014 Congress in Madrid, Spain.

"The Phase 1b tarextumab data presented at ESMO 2014 support our randomized Phase 2 clinical programs with this novel antibody targeting the Notch pathway," said Jakob Dupont, M.D., OncoMed's Chief Medical Officer. "In the ALPINE study of patients with pancreatic cancer, we are seeing promising anti-tumor activity and tolerability in combination with standard of care. Notably, we now have pharmacodynamic evidence of Notch pathway inhibition, which provides clinical validation that tarextumab is hitting its desired target. In our PINNACLE trial of small cell lung cancer patients, we have seen a number of partial responses and tarextumab has been well tolerated in combination with standard platinum and etoposide chemotherapy."
