Exhibit 99.1
Repare Therapeutics Provides Business Update and Reports First Quarter 2023 Financial Results
Reported initial camonsertib data from ongoing Phase 1/2 TRESR and Phase 1b/2 ATTACC clinical trials in a plenary oral presentation at 2023 AACR Annual Meeting
Camonsertib combination therapy showed 48% CBR across tumor types regardless of choice of PARP inhibitor or platinum resistance, with a favorable safety and tolerability profile
Company on track to report initial RP-6306 monotherapy data from Phase 1 MYTHIC clinical trial in June 2023
Announced the appointment of Susan Molineaux, Ph.D., and departure of Jerel Davis, Ph.D. on our Board of Directors, as well as the addition of Daniel Belanger to the senior leadership team
CAMBRIDGE, Mass. & MONTREAL (BUSINESS WIRE)—May 9, 2023— Repare Therapeutics Inc. (“Repare” or the “Company”) (Nasdaq: RPTX), a leading clinical-stage precision oncology company, today reported financial results for the first quarter ended March 31, 2023.
“We continue to execute clinically and across our pipeline programs, including presenting initial clinical data of camonsertib in combination with various PARP inhibitors from the ongoing TRESR and ATTACC trials at this year’s AACR conference,” said Lloyd M. Segal, President and Chief Executive Officer of Repare. “These findings are consistent with our preclinical data demonstrating that low, intermittent dosing of the camonsertib and PARP inhibitor combinations appears well tolerated and exhibited antitumor activity, most notably in advanced ovarian cancer. In addition, we are on track to present initial Phase 1 monotherapy data for RP-6306 in June.”
