Amplia Therapeutics (ASX:ATX) shares were up nearly 2% in recent trading on Monday after it said in a statement on Friday that it entered into an agreement with the Australia New Zealand Gynaecological Oncology Group to conduct a clinical study investigating its drug candidate narmafotinib in ovarian cancer.
The study will evaluate the safety of narmafotinib in combination with standard-of-care chemotherapy (carboplatin and paclitaxel).
It is expected to enroll around 15 to 20 patients with high-grade serous ovarian cancer, who demonstrate poor response to up-front standard-of-care platinum-based chemotherapy before planned interval debulking surgery.
