About ELZONRIS
ELZONRIS (tagraxofusp), a CD123-directed cytotoxin, was approved by the Food and Drug Administration (FDA) on December 21, 2018 for the treatment of adult and pediatric patients, two years and older, with blastic plasmacytoid dendritic cell neoplasm (BPDCN). In November 2018, the European Medicines Agency (EMA) granted ELZONRIS accelerated assessment to the upcoming marketing authorization application (MAA), which is expected to be submitted in the first quarter of 2019. ELZONRIS is also being evaluated in additional clinical trials in other indications including chronic myelomonocytic leukemia (CMML), myelofibrosis (MF) and other CD123 positive diseases.

About BPDCN
Blastic plasmacytoid dendritic cell neoplasm (BPDCN) is an aggressive hematologic malignancy with historically poor outcomes and an area of unmet medical need. The BPDCN cell of origin is the plasmacytoid dendritic cell (pDC) precursor. BPDCN typically presents in the bone marrow and/or skin and may also involve lymph nodes and viscera. The diagnosis of BPDCN is based on the immunophenotypic diagnostic triad of CD123, CD4, and CD56. For more information, please visit the BPDCN disease awareness website at www.bpdcninfo.com.

Onconova Submits Special Protocol Assessment (SPA) To FDA For Phase 3 Trial Of Oral Rigosertib In Combination With Azacitidine (Vidaza®) For First-Line Myelodysplastic Syndromes (MDS)

On January 2, 2019 Onconova Therapeutics, Inc. (NASDAQ:ONTX), a Phase 3-stage biopharmaceutical company focused on discovering and developing novel products to treat cancer, with a primary focus on MDS, reported that it has submitted a Special Protocol Assessment request to the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) for a Phase 3 study of oral rigosertib combination therapy with azacitidine (Vidaza) for the treatment of adult patients with treatment-naïve higher-risk MDS (Press release, Onconova, JAN 2, 2019, Onconova Submits Special Protocol Assessment (SPA) To FDA For Phase 3 Trial Of Oral Rigosertib In Combination With Azacitidine (Vidaza) For First-Line Myelodysplastic Syndromes (MDS) [SID1234532341]). The request is part of the Company’s ongoing interaction with the FDA, following an End-of-Phase 2 Meeting with FDA guidance for the proposed Phase 3 study and Scientific Advice from the European Health Authorities, consistent with the Company’s strategy to study rigosertib in an earlier higher-risk MDS patient population with a more convenient mode of oral rigosertib administration. The End-of-Phase 2 Meeting also outlined that the primary endpoint of the proposed pivotal trial will be overall response rate (ORR), a composite of complete remission (CR), and partial remission (PR) based on the IWG Response Criteria.

Dr. Steve Fruchtman, President of Onconova, commented: "We remain focused in 2019 on the completion of the pivotal INSPIRE trial studying intravenous rigosertib in higher-risk MDS after patients fail to respond to or progress on hypomethylation therapy, the standard of care. The timely achievement of this regulatory milestone of this SPA submission is an important step in advancing the development of rigosertib for patients with earlier stage higher-risk MDS. We believe that the promising data in hand, including the data from the Phase 2 expansion trial of oral rigosertib and azacitidine presented at this year’s 2018 ASH (Free ASH Whitepaper) Annual Meeting, provides a strong scientific rationale for the proposed Phase 3 program. As the INSPIRE trial continues to mature, we look forward to a constructive engagement with the FDA on future studies. We also aim to help fund these additional studies through expanding our partnerships."

The FDA’s SPA process fosters dialogue between the FDA and clinical trial sponsors before studies commence, in an attempt to reach potential agreement with the agency on the design and size of clinical trials, to determine if they adequately address the scientific and regulatory requirements for a study to ultimately support marketing approval. The Company expects its dialogue with the FDA on this SPA submission to conclude in H1 2019.
