CRDF Cardiff Oncology, Inc.
Price Chart
Executive Summary
Cardiff Oncology released an investor presentation detailing interim Phase 2 CRDF-004 data for onvansertib in first-line RAS-mutated metastatic colorectal cancer. The 30 mg dose combined with FOLFIRI/bevacizumab showed a 72.2% objective response rate (vs 42.1% for FOLFIRI/bev alone) and median PFS not yet reached vs 12.2 months in the control arm. The company has aligned with the FDA on a registrational Phase 3 trial design targeting accelerated approval via ORR.
Actionable Insight
The 72% ORR and durable PFS signal in a hard-to-treat RAS-mutated mCRC population, combined with FDA alignment on a registrational path, represent a major catalyst. Monitor for initiation of the Phase 3 CRDF-005 trial and any partnership or financing announcements to fund the ~640-patient study.
Key Facts
- Phase 2 CRDF-004 trial: 30 mg onvansertib + FOLFIRI/bev achieved 72.2% ORR (13/18) vs 42.1% (8/19) for FOLFIRI/bev alone — a 30% improvement.
- Median PFS not yet reached for onvansertib 30 mg + FOLFIRI/bev vs 12.22 months (investigator-assessed) for FOLFIRI/bev; HR 0.57 (0.2, 1.65).
- 9 of 14 patients remaining on study treatment are on onvansertib + FOLFIRI/bev; some patients on treatment for >18 months.
- FDA End-of-Phase 2 meeting completed in Q2 2026; registrational Phase 3 trial (CRDF-005) designed with dual primary endpoints of ORR and PFS, ~640 patients, >90% power.
- No unexpected or overlapping toxicities; safety profile consistent with background therapy.
- Onvansertib showed no consistent meaningful benefit when combined with FOLFOX/bev (ORR 47.4% vs 44.4% for FOLFOX/bev alone).
Financial Impact
No financial data reported; clinical-stage biotech with no revenue. The positive Phase 2 data and FDA alignment for a registrational trial significantly de-risk the development path for onvansertib in a large underserved market (~150,000 newly diagnosed CRC patients/year in U.S., 20% metastatic).
Risk Factors
- Phase 3 trial may fail to replicate Phase 2 results in a larger, more diverse population.
- Onvansertib only showed synergy with FOLFIRI/bev, not FOLFOX/bev, limiting the addressable patient subset.
- Company will need significant additional capital to fund the registrational trial; dilution risk exists.
- Pending litigation with Nerviano Medical Sciences S.r.l. regarding the license agreement could create overhang.
