CTIC: CTI BioPharma completes recruitment in PERSIST-1 pivotal Phase 3 trial of Pacritinib for patients with myelofibrosis; expects to receive $20 mln development milestone payment from Baxter (BAX) 7/1/14
Co announces that it has completed recruitment in the PERSIST-1 pivotal Phase 3 clinical trial of pacritinib, a novel oral JAK2/FLT3 inhibitor that is being evaluated for the treatment of myelofibrosis. Under the development and commercialization agreement for pacritinib with Baxter International (BAX), CTI expects to receive a $20 million development milestone payment in connection with the first treatment dosing of the last patient enrolled in PERSIST-1. CTI expects to achieve this milestone and receive payment by mid-third quarter 2014.
The PERSIST-1 trial is the first of two Phase 3 trials in the pacritinib development program in myelofibrosis. The second Phase 3 trial, PERSIST-2, is currently evaluating pacritinib for the treatment of patients with low platelet counts compared to best available therapy, including approved JAK2 inhibitors at their recommended dose and schedule for myelofibrosis patients with thrombocytopenia. The two clinical trials are intended to support an anticipated New Drug Application regulatory submission in the U.S. in late 2015, followed by an anticipated Marketing Authorization Application in Europe in 2016.
