About Onapristone ER

Onapristone ER (onapristone extended release) is a potent and specific antagonist of the progesterone receptor that is orally administered. Currently, there are no approved therapies that selectively target PR+ cancers. Preliminary preclinical and clinical data suggest that onapristone ER has anticancer activity by inhibiting progesterone receptor binding to chromatin, downregulating cancer stem cell mobilization and blocking immune evasion. Onapristone ER is currently the subject of an ongoing Phase 2 clinical trial in progesterone receptor positive ovarian cancer. Additional Phase 2 clinical trials in breast and endometrial cancers will initiate in 2020. Onapristone ER is an investigational drug that has not been approved for marketing by any regulatory authority.
