BOSTON--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Verastem, Inc., (NASDAQ:VSTM), focused on discovering and developing drugs to treat cancer by the targeted killing of cancer stem cells, today provided an overview of the Company’s developments in 2014 and outlined upcoming milestones for 2015.
"In 2014, we achieved critical milestones across all of our development programs targeting cancer stem cells,” said Robert Forrester, President and Chief Executive Officer of Verastem. “We remain highly focused on the successful execution of COMMAND for the treatment of patients with mesothelioma, an orphan disease, with VS-6063. We currently have 55 sites open in 13 countries and have enrolled 180 patients. We expect to conduct the pre-specified interim analysis in the second quarter of 2015. We currently remain on track to complete enrollment by the end of 2015. We are seeing activity of VS-6063 across multiple tumor types, including mesothelioma, ovarian cancer, and also now in advanced non-small cell lung cancer. These results continue to increase our confidence in the potential of a successful outcome from COMMAND. Our goal is to achieve the first approval of VS-6063 in mesothelioma and then to broaden its use to many major cancers such as lung, ovarian and breast cancer.”
