Study Endpoints

Primary Endpoints

Objective response rate (ORR)
Up to 1 year post-treatment

Defined by the percentage of patients with tumor response (complete response \[CR\] or partial response \[PR\]) as defined by Response Evaluation Criteria in Solid Tumors (RECIST) 1.1.

Progression-Free Survival (PFS)
At 4 months

4 month PFS is defined as a binary endpoint, from first dose of onapristone and anastrozole to 4 months of therapy as "confirmed progression-free" or "not progression-free" (including cancer progression or censored subjects). Will use the date of first documented disease progression or recurrence, as assessed by using RECIST 1.1 criteria, or death due to any cause, whichever occurs first.

Secondary Endpoints

Disease Control Rate
Up to 1 year post-treatment
Time to Response
From randomization to first documented response (CR or PR) in months, assessed up to 1 year post-treatment
Duration of Response
From the first date of documented response to progression or death due to endometrial cancer, assessed up to 1 year post-treatment

Frequently asked questions about Onapristone

What is Onapristone used for?

Onapristone is being studied for the treatment of refractory endometrial adenocarcinoma, a type of endometrial cancer that has not responded to prior therapy. It is an investigational small molecule being developed in oncology for patients with hormone receptor positive disease that has progressed after earlier treatment.

What does Onapristone target?

Onapristone targets the progesterone receptor, or PGR, and acts as an antagonist. By blocking this receptor, the drug is designed to interfere with progesterone-driven signaling that can support the growth of hormone-sensitive tumors such as endometrial adenocarcinoma.

Who is developing Onapristone?

Onapristone is being developed by Context Therapeutics Inc., which trades under the ticker CNTX. The company is advancing the drug as an extended-release small molecule for refractory endometrial adenocarcinoma and related endometrial cancer subtypes.

What phase is Onapristone in?

Onapristone is in Phase 2 clinical development. It is an investigational agent and has not been approved by the FDA. The ongoing study is evaluating the drug in patients with refractory endometrial adenocarcinoma, and no completed trials of Onapristone have been recorded.

What clinical trials is Onapristone in?

Onapristone is being evaluated in the Phase 2 trial NCT04719273, titled Onapristone and Anastrozole for the Treatment of Refractory Hormone Receptor Positive Endometrial Cancer. The trial is active but not recruiting, is enrolling 14 female participants aged 18 years and older, and is being conducted in the United States.

Is Onapristone the same as extended-release Onapristone?

Yes, extended-release Onapristone is another name for Onapristone. Both refer to the same investigational small molecule developed by Context Therapeutics Inc. for refractory endometrial adenocarcinoma, so searches using either name point to the same drug candidate.
