Aura Biosciences Reports Positive Phase 2 End of Study Results Evaluating Bel-sar as a First-Line Treatment for Early-Stage Choroidal Melanoma
Aura Biosciences (NASDAQ: AURA) reported positive Phase 2 end of study results for bel-sar (AU-011) in treating early-stage choroidal melanoma (CM). The study showed an 80% tumor control rate and 90% visual acuity preservationamong Phase 3-eligible patients. Bel-sar demonstrated a highly favorable safety profile with no treatment-related serious adverse events. The drug achieved complete cessation of growth in responders, with a post-treatment average growth rate of 0.011 mm/yr compared to 0.351 mm/yr prior to study entry (p<0.0001). Notably, 80% of patients were at high risk for vision loss due to tumor proximity to critical eye structures. These results are significant given the poor prognosis associated with CM and the lack of approved vision-preserving therapies. Aura is currently enrolling patients in the global Phase 3 CoMpass trial for bel-sar.
