Q & A Highlights
Q: What percentage of advanced ovarian cancer patients are on PARP inhibitors, and will you match that percentage in the phase three study? Are there other treatments being considered in combination with your therapy? A: Approximately 40% of patients in our phase two trial received PARP inhibitors, and this could increase to 50% in phase three. We plan to ensure balance in the study design, particularly for patients with HR deficiency, including BRCA mutations. We will discuss this with the FDA and include it explicitly in our protocol.
