The submission was based on a physician-initiated Phase II randomized controlled trial. The treatment arm demonstrated a progression-free survival of 14.4 months versus 1.4 months in the control arm, a statistically significant difference. The objective response rate was 27.3% (not observed in the control arm), and survival outcomes were high, with a 1-year overall survival rate of 100% and a 2-year overall survival rate of 90.9%.\n\n### Outlook and Impact\nThis deliberation result is positioned as an important milestone for indication expansion and will broaden the patient population eligible for BNCT through the recurrent meningioma indication. Management explained that it will contribute to growth strategies including expansion of treatment facilities and overseas deployment. After completion of the prescribed administrative procedures, marketing authorization is expected; the impact on the fiscal year ending March 2027 is expected to be minor, while the BNCT business is expected to contribute to growth over the medium to long term.","jir_financial_highlights":"Progression-Free Survival: 14.4 months (Unknown)\nObjective Response Rate: 27.3% (Unknown)\n1-Year Overall Survival Rate: 100% (Unknown)\n2-Year Overall Survival Rate: 90.9% (Unknown)","jir_category":"","jir_hashtags":"#TumorTherapy, #BNCT, #RecurrentMeningioma","jir_key_figures":"Progression-Free Survival: 14.4 months\nObjective Response Rate: 27.3%\n1-Year Overall Survival Rate: 100%\n2-Year Overall Survival Rate: 90.9%","jir_meta_title":"Stella Pharma Corporation \u2014 Deliberation Result for Indication Expansion to Recurrent Meningioma\uff5cOctober 2026","jir_meta_description":"Summary of the regulatory advisory panel's deliberation result and approval outlook for the BNCT drug Stevoronin\u00ae for recurrent meningioma, including key metrics such as progression-free survival and survival rates.","jir_og_title":"Stella Pharma Corporation \u2014 Deliberation Result for Indication Expansion to Recurrent Meningioma","jir_og_description":"Explains the deliberation result and approval outlook for the BNCT drug Stevoronin\u00ae for recurrent meningioma, disclosing key metrics such as progression-free survival and survival rates.","jir_og_image_url":"\/assets\/og\/company-general_ir.jpg","jir_chart_data_collection":"[]","ir_related_company":59263,"ir_release_date":"","ir_type":"","ir_is_new":false,"ir_document_url":"","jir_ir_type":"financial_summary","footnotes":""},"sector":[],"importance":[],"class_list":["post-133272","ir_release","type-ir_release","status-publish","hentry"],"yoast_head":"\n
