US FDA Grants Fast Track Designation to an Amarex Client Treating mTNBC
Germantown, MD, USA (May 14, 2019) – Amarex Clinical Research, LLC announces that the US FDA has granted Fast Track Designation to a novel monoclonal antibody for use in combination with carboplatin in the treatment of CCR5-positive metastatic triple-negative breast cancer (mTNBC) patients. The FDA granted the designation to the drug sponsor following significant preclinical results demonstrating a greater than 98% reduction in human breast cancer metastasis in preclinical models.
Dr. Kazem Kazempour, President & CEO of Amarex stated that, “We have collaborated with this sponsor on a number of projects for this specific drug over the last few years. We have been pleased to work on this product, now including a Fast Track Designation status.”
The FDA Fast Track Designation (FTD) is an approval process designed to facilitate the development, and expedite the review, of drugs that treat serious conditions and fill a current unmet medical need. The intent of this program is to get important new drugs to the patient earlier. A condition is considered to be serious based on whether the drug will impact factors such as survival, day-to-day functioning, or likelihood that the condition will progress from less severe to more serious if left untreated. Filling an unmet medical need is defined as providing a therapy where none currently exists, or providing a potentially superior therapy than currently available.
