Repare Therapeutics Announces Phase 1 Data Highlighting Camonsertib in Combination with Radiotherapy Treatment Presented at the ASTRO Annual Meeting
September 30 2024 - 4:05PM
Business Wire
Repare Therapeutics Inc. (“Repare” or the “Company”) (Nasdaq:
RPTX), a leading clinical-stage precision oncology company, today
reported data highlighting the clinical benefits of camonsertib, a
potential best-in-class oral small molecule ATR inhibitor, combined
with palliative radiation for the treatment of metastatic tumors
harboring an ataxia-telangiectasia-mutated (ATM) mutation.
These data from a clinical trial conducted in collaboration with
investigators at Memorial-Sloan Kettering Cancer Center were
presented at the American Society for Radiation Oncology (ASTRO)
annual meeting in Washington, DC by Nancy Lee, MD, FASTRO,
Radiation Oncologist & Early Drug Development Specialist,
Memorial Sloan Kettering Cancer Center and titled,
“Genotypically-Selected Pan Cancer Trial of Camonsertib with
Palliative Radiation in the Treatment of Metastatic Tumors
Harboring an Ataxia-Telangiectasia Mutated (ATM) Mutation.”
“These encouraging early Phase 1 data build further support for
the broad clinical potential of camonsertib,” said Maria Koehler,
MD, PhD, Executive Vice President and Chief Medical Officer of
Repare. “This first-in-human study combining camonsertib, an ATR
inhibitor, with palliative radiation provides early clinical data
showing that the combination has the potential to radiosensitize
for higher clinical benefit in patients with tumors harboring
pathogenic ATM mutations versus those with variants of unknown
significance. We are highly encouraged by this early look at the
response rate and safety profile of this combination in the Phase 1
setting.”
Key Study Findings
- Seventeen (17) patients with metastatic tumors harboring ATM
mutations were enrolled in the trial; of which 12 had pathogenic
ATM mutations and 5 had ATM mutations with variants of unknown
significance (VUS).
- Primary cancer histology included gastrointestinal (n=5),
pancreas (n=5), breast (n=2), lung (n=2), bladder (n=2), and
thyroid (n=1).
- The recommended phase 2 dose for camonsertib was determined to
be 160 mg given once-daily prior to radiation (4Gy) on days
1-5.
- Interim response information was available for 16 patients at
submission:
- At 2-months, there were 2 complete responses (CR), 5 partial
responses (PR), and 4 stable disease (SD) in the pathogenic ATM
mutation group versus 1 PR and 4 SD in the VUS group.
- At 6-months, in 9 evaluable patients, 2 CR, 4 PR, and 1 SD were
reported in the pathogenic group versus 1 SD and 1 progressive
disease (PD) in the VUS group.

include, but are not limited to, statements regarding: the design,
progress and results of the Phase 1 clinical trial of camonsertib
in combination with radiotherapy treatment for
genotypically-selected cancers; and the Company’s future plans for
clinical development of camonsertib; and the tolerability, efficacy
and clinical progress of the Company’s product candidates,

during preclinical studies or clinical trials; clinical trial site
activation or enrollment rates that are lower than expected; the
