On October 25, 2016, OncoGenex Pharmaceuticals, Inc. (Company) announced positive survival results from the final analysis of the Phase 2 Borealis-2 trial of apatorsen in combination with docetaxel treatment that enrolled 200 patients with metastatic bladder cancer whose disease had progressed following first-line platinum-based chemotherapy. Patients who received apatorsen treatment experienced a 20% reduction in risk of death, compared to patients receiving docetaxel alone (HR=.80; 95% CI: 0.65-0.98; p=0.078). The primary analysis was a superiority test of overall survival, performed at a one-sided 0.10 significance level using a stratified log-rank test. The trial was conducted by the Hoosier Cancer Research Network at 28 sites across the United States.
A copy of the Company’s press release is filed as Exhibit 99.1 to this Current Report on Form 8-K.
