AVEO Oncology And Biodesix, Inc. Announce Exploratory Analysis Of Veristrat-Selected Patients With Non-Small Cell Lung Cancer In Phase 2 Study Of Ficlatuzumab Presented At ESMO 2014 Congress

MADRID--(BUSINESS WIRE)--AVEO Oncology (NASDAQ:AVEO) and Biodesix, Inc. today announced the presentation of results from a retrospective exploratory analysis using VeriStrat®, a commercially available serum protein test, to identify patients most likely to benefit from the addition of ficlatuzumab, AVEO’s HGF inhibitory antibody, to epidermal growth factor receptor (EGFR) tyrosine-kinase inhibitor (TKI) therapy in a randomized Phase 2 study of ficlatuzumab and gefitinib (IRESSA®) in previously untreated Asian subjects with non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC). The results, presented in a poster session (abstract #8195) at the 2014 Congress of the European Society for Medical Oncology (ESMO), suggest that VeriStrat may be selective of positive clinical response for ficlatuzumab plus gefitinib over gefitinib alone.
