Medivir selects global CRO partner for upcoming phase 2b study

Medivir AB (NASDAQ: MVIR) (STOCKHOLM: MVIR), a pharmaceutical company focused on developing innovative treatments for cancer in areas of high unmet medical need, announced today that it has selected a global CRO partner for the planned phase 2b study evaluating fostroxacitabine bralpamide (fostrox) + Lenvima® vs Lenvima alone in second line HCC.

In the next phase of development, Medivir is planning for a global, randomized phase 2b study aligned with its recent supportive Type C interaction with the FDA. The objective is to evaluate the combination of fostrox + Lenvima in second line advanced HCC with the aim of becoming the first, approved treatment alternative after current first line treatment.

The study is planned to enroll patients broadly in the US, EU and Asia, building on countries and sites participating in currently ongoing phase 1b/2a, which will ensure that recruitment requirements for a potential accelerated or conditional approval are fulfilled. A key next step is to initiate study feasibility to identify optimal sites and investigators to enable study start in early 2025. Already now, we have received high level of interest from experts in HCC regarding potential participation in the study.
