Macrogenics med shows survival benefit in late-stage breast cancer study

A second pre-planned interim overall survival (OS) analysis of a Phase 3 clinical trial, SOPHIA, evaluating MacroGenics’ (NASDAQ:MGNX) margetuximab, an HER2-targeting monoclonal antibody, plus chemo compared to Roche’s Herceptin (trastuzumab) plus chemo in patients with HER2-positive metastatic breast cancer showed a median increase of 1.8 months (21.6 months vs. 19.8 months).
The final pre-specified OS analysis should happen in 2020 after 385 events (deaths) have occurred.
On the safety front, the rate of serious/life-threatening treatment-related adverse events was 55% in the margetuximab arm compared to 53% in the trastuzumab arm.
Detailed results from the second OS analysis will be presented at the San Antonio Breast Cancer Symposium in December.
