AboutAraviveAravive, Inc.(Nasdaq: ARAV) is a clinical-stage oncology company developing transformative treatments designed to halt the progression of life-threatening diseases. Aravives lead product candidate, AVB-500, is an ultra-high affinity decoy protein that targets the GAS6-AXL signaling pathway. On July 23, 2020, Aravive announced the successful completion of a Phase 1b trial of AVB-500 in platinum resistant ovarian cancer and selection of the recommended Phase 2 dose. Analysis of all safety data to date showed that AVB-500 has been generally well-tolerated with no dose-limiting toxicities or unexpected safety signals. While the Phase 1b trial was a safety trial and not powered to demonstrate efficacy, all 5 patients in the 15 mg/kg cohort experienced clinical benefit, with 1 complete response (CR), 2 partial responses, and 2 stable disease. Across all cohorts, AVB-500 plus paclitaxel data showed an ORR of 35% (8/23 patients, including 2 CRs). For more information, please visitwww.aravive.com.
