During this congress, PharmaMar will participate at different posters sessions and/or oral presentations the latest clinical advances of these molecules. In this edition, PharmaMar will present, among others, the results of a single-agent (lurbinectedin) Phase II trial in patients with BRCA 1/2 -associated metastatic breast cancer. Moreover, the French Sarcoma Group will introduce the data from a Phase III prospective study carried out in France (T-SAR), which compares trabectedin versus the best supportive care in patients with pretreated advanced soft tissue sarcoma (ASTS).

"At this year's edition of ESMO, we will announce the latest breakthroughs obtained with lurbinectedin in different tumor types. Through the various clinical trials that PharmaMar has running, we can observe that PM1883 is effective in combination and also as single-agent. This allows us to think that we have a great molecule for the treatment of different types of solid tumors, such as breast and endometrial cancers, amongst others", as Dr. Arturo Soto, director of Clinical Development at PharmaMar´s Oncology Business Unit, explains.
