Truqap drug in trials?
AI Overview
Yes, the ANGLE plc Parsortix® PC1 system is being used to support AstraZeneca’s Truqap (capivasertib) drug development, particularly through the development of specialized assays (laboratory tests) for patient monitoring in clinical trials.Here is how the technology relates to Truqap and AstraZeneca's cancer programs:Assay Development for AstraZeneca: ANGLE completed the development of two specialized assays for AstraZeneca—a prostate cancer Androgen Receptor (AR) assay and a multi-cancer DNA Damage Response (DDR) assay.DDR/PARP Inhibitor Monitoring: The DDR assay is designed to measure treatment responses, particularly for drugs in combination with other cancer therapies. This is relevant to Truqap, as it is an AKT inhibitor often tested in combination with other agents to maximize DNA damage and kill cancer cells, as noted in studies of resistant cancers.Liquid Biopsy Capability: The Parsortix system allows for a "liquid biopsy" (a simple blood draw) to analyze circulating tumor cells (CTCs) without needing invasive tissue biopsies, which can be used to monitor patient responses over time during trials.Prostate Cancer Studies: The developed assays are approved for internal use by AstraZeneca, allowing them to be applied in future large-scale clinical trials, specifically for prostate cancer or other cancer indications where DDR is involved.While Truqap has already been approved for certain breast cancer populations based on the CAPItello-291 trial, these assays could help in monitoring trials for other indications, including prostate cancer.FDA approves capivasertib with fulvestrant for breast cancer16 Nov 2023 — On November 16, 2023, the Food and Drug Administration approved capivasertib (Truqap, AstraZeneca Pharmaceuticals) with fulvestran...U.S. Food and Drug Administration (.gov)Assays complete for AstraZeneca; utility of HER2 demoed24 Mar 2025 — ANGLE has successfully completed three assay development projects as part of its Pharma Services business with existing large phar...Trinity Delta'Marked’ for Stardom?: Truqap | PharmExec16 Aug 2024 — Amid the setback, Susan Galbraith, AstraZeneca's executive vice president of oncology R&D, reaffirmed the company's commitment to ...Pharmaceutical ExecutiveShow allThis is for informational purposes only.
