Dr. Sidhu brings over 20 years of oncology leadership experience, including significant expertise in mCRC clinical trials and RAS biology. He previously served as CMO and acting CEO at Treadwell Therapeutics and held key positions at Amgen, where he led Phase 3 trials for panitumumab. The company also announced a conference call scheduled for July 29, 2025, at 4:30 PM ET to share additional clinical data from its randomized Phase 2 CRDF-004 trial, which evaluates onvansertib plus standard of care for first-line RAS-mutated metastatic colorectal cancer treatment. As part of his compensation package, Dr. Sidhu received an inducement grant of options to purchase 600,000 shares at $3.86 per share, vesting over four years.

Cardiff Oncology announced positive Phase 1b clinical trial results for onvansertib combined with paclitaxel in treating metastatic triple-negative breast cancer (mTNBC). The trial, presented at ASCO 2025, demonstrated a 40% objective response rate at the highest dose (18mg/m2) of onvansertib. The study, led by Dana-Farber Cancer Institute, enrolled heavily pretreated patients with a median of 3 prior chemotherapy lines. Notable results included two confirmed and two unconfirmed partial responses, with three responses observed in patients previously exposed to paclitaxel. The drug combination showed a manageable safety profile, with myelosuppression as the most common side effect. The positive results validate preclinical data showing synergy between onvansertib and paclitaxel, suggesting potential for treating mTNBC, an aggressive breast cancer subtype with significant unmet medical needs.

Cardiff Oncology (NASDAQ: CRDF) has announced its Q1 2025 financial results and business updates. The company has completed enrollment in its Phase 2 CRDF-004 trial evaluating onvansertib combined with standard of care for first-line RAS-mutated metastatic colorectal cancer (mCRC) across 41 U.S. clinical sites.

Additional clinical data from the CRDF-004 trial is expected in 1H 2025.

This follows a previous patent for first-line treatment of bev-naïve patients with KRAS mutations. Onvansertib, a PLK1 inhibitor, is currently under evaluation in a Phase 2 randomized trial (CRDF-004) in combination with FOLFIRI/bev or FOLFOX/bev for first-line treatment of mCRC patients with RAS mutations. Initial trial data was released in December 2024, with additional results expected in first half of 2025.
