Expression of Interest Call open until 5th June 2015
We are delighted to announce that Clovis have joined the Combinations Alliance and we look
forward to a successful collaboration with them.
The agents on offer are rucaparib (PARP inhibitor) and rociletinib (EGFR inhibitor).
Rucaparib is an oral, small molecule poly ADP-ribose polymerase (PARP) inhibitor that is a
potent inhibitor of PARP-1 and PARP-2. Clovis intends to develop rucaparib for the treatment of
patients with cancers predisposed to PARP inhibitor sensitivity. The initial focus has been on
tumors with defective DNA repair function, including germ line and somatic BRCA mutations as
well as BRCA-like genomic alterations, in ovarian cancer and pancreatic cancer. Clovis is
interested in expanding rucaparib efficacy studies and predictive BRCA1/2 /BRCA-like signature
development within, and in additional cancer indications beyond, ovarian and pancreatic
cancer.
Rociletinib (CO-1686) is a novel, oral, targeted covalent (irreversible) inhibitor of the cancercausing mutant forms of epidermal growth factor receptor (EGFR) currently being studied for
the treatment of non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC). Rociletinib was designed to selectively
target both the initial activating EGFR mutations and the T790M resistance mutation, while
sparing wild-type, or normal EGFR at anticipated therapeutic doses, with an improved toxicity
profile. It has the potential to be a first-line treatment in NSCLC patients with activating EGFR
mutations and a second or later-line treatment in NSCLC patients who become resistant to
EGFR-directed therapy due to the emergence of the T790M secondary mutation. Clovis is
interested in performing drug-drug combination studies with rociletinib.
