“We are excited to be underway with our ONSEMBLE trial that builds on the promising efficacy and tolerability results demonstrated in our phase 1b/2 trial in mCRC,” said Fairooz Kabbinavar, MD, Chief Medical Officer of Cardiff Oncology. “mCRC is a difficult-to-treat cancer and patients in the second line setting need novel therapeutic options to improve clinical outcomes. Based on our open-label phase 1b/2 trial, we believe the combination of onvansertib with FOLFIRI/bevacizumab could positively impact patients’ responses to treatment and the durability of the responses. Nearly half of our planned 40 sites in the US are open to enroll patients and we’ve seen great enthusiasm from participating investigators.”
