Kazia Therapeutics Reports 100% Clinical Benefit Rate for Paxalisib in Stage IV TNBC Patients

Kazia Therapeutics announced new data showing its lead asset, paxalisib, achieved a 100% clinical benefit rate in six evaluable patients with Stage IV triple-negative breast cancer, or TNBC. Five of the six patients achieved an objective response - a measurable 30% or greater reduction in tumor burden after treatment - including one complete response and four partial responses, resulting in an objective response rate of 83%. The remaining patient achieved stable disease. Importantly, these results were achieved with the convenience of oral dosing and a favorable safety and tolerability profile, with no paxalisib-related serious adverse events and no grade 3 or higher commonly associated toxicities. Clinical responses were observed across a broad range of metastatic disease sites, including lung, liver, bone, lymph node and central nervous system target lesions, with responses emerging as early as approximately three months post-randomization. Enrollment in the company's ongoing Phase 1b study evaluating paxalisib in combination with pembrolizumab and chemotherapy in advanced metastatic TNBC is expected to be completed by July 2027, with interim clinical updates anticipated throughout 2026 and 2027.
