Rain Oncology (NASDAQ:RAIN) stock is taking a massive beating on Monday after the company revealed its latest clinical trial data.
The bad news for investors in RAIN stock is the company’s Phase 3 MANTRA trial failed to meet its primary endpoint. This trial was designed to test the efficacy, safety, and tolerability of milademetan as a treatment for dedifferentiated (DD) liposarcoma (LPS).
This clinical trial tested milademetan against trabectedin, which is the current standard of care for DD LPS. The primary endpoint of progression free survival (PFS) by blinded independent central review was not reached.
Avanish Vellanki, co-founder and CEO of Rain Oncology, said the following in a press release.
“We are very disappointed in the outcome of the MANTRA trial, as the results did not closely mirror prior clinical results in patients with DD LPS. Based on the MANTRA topline results, we will also re-evaluate the path forward for milademetan.”
