Aura Biosciences on Monday said it received agreement from the
U.S. Food and Drug Administration for the design and plan of a
Phase 3 trial of belzupacap sarotalocan as a treatment for patients
with early-stage choroidal melanoma.
The company said it received the agreement from the FDA for the
CoMpass phase 3 clinical trial of belzupacap sarotalocan, or
Bel-sar, under a special protocol assessment.
If successful, Aura said, the trial could address the objectives
necessary to support the company's planned biologics license
application submission for Bel-sar as a treatment for choroidal
melanoma, which is a form of eye cancer.
Aura said it presented "positive Phase 2 safety and efficacy
data of Bel-sar" at the American Academy of Ophthalmology meeting
in San Francisco.
Also on Monday, Aura said preliminary data from a phase 1 trial
in bladder cancer showed the first patient using a single dose of
Bel-sar with light activation demonstrated a clinical complete
response "demonstrated by absence of cancer cells on histopathology
with evidence of extensive necrosis and immune activation."
