IMPACT Therapeutics announced the phase 3 study of its PARP inhibitor IMP4297 had the first patient dosed recently. This study is a randomized, placebo-controlled, double-blinded, multi-center, phase 3 clinical study in China to evalsuate the efficacy and safety of IMP4297 as the maintenance treatment in advanced ovarian cancer patients after first-line platinum-containing chemotherapy.

IMP4297 is a novel agent targeting PARP developed byIMPACT, with 2 phase 1 studies in China and Australia respectively. The phase 1 data readout was published in ASCO 2019, showing that IMP4297 has the potential to be the best PARP inhibitor with better safety profile and wider therapeutic window. IMPACT have also started a phase 2 pivotal study of IMP4297 single agent in treating advanced ovarian cancer patients with BRCA mutation who have received at least 2 prior lines of standard treatment.

Dr. Chih-Yi Hsieh, Senior Vice President and Chief Medical Officer, said, “It’s exciting that we started the Phase 3 trial for IMP4297. It is the first phase 3 trial of domestically developed PARP inhibitor as the maintenance treatment in first-line platinum-sensitive ovarian cancer patients. It’s also a great opportunity to bring the benefit of PARP inhibitor to more patients regardless of BRCA mutation status. We want to thank all the efforts and supports from investigators, clinical sites, CRO partners and team members. We will endeavor to advance the clinical development of IMP4297, maximize the advantage of IMP4297 and broaden the patients population who could benefit from this novel drug.
