Kyntra Bio, Inc. Receives Nasdaq Notice Of Non-Compliance With Continued Listing Requirements On April 2, 2026, Kyntra Bio, Inc. (Kyntra Bio or the Company) received a letter from the Nasdaq Listing Qualifications Staff of the Nasdaq Stock Market notifying us that the Company no longer complies with the Nasdaq Global Select Market continued listing requirement of $50 million in total assets and total revenue for the most recently completed fiscal year (or two of the last three most recently completed fiscal years) per Listing Rule 5450(b)(3)(A). This is due to the revenue of FibroGen International being presented as held for sale (in discontinued operations) in 2024 and 2025. The Company does not currently meet the alternative requirements of Listing Rule 5450(b) (either the shareholders' equity or the market value of listed securities standards). The notification received has no immediate effect on the listing of Kyntra Bio's common stock on Nasdaq. Under the Nasdaq Rules, the Company has 45 days (May 18, 2026) to submit a plan to regain compliance and if such plan is accepted, Nasdaq may grant the Company with an extension of up to 180 days (September 29, 2026) to evidence compliance. Per Listing Rule 5810(c)(2)(D), the Company may submit a plan that demonstrates current or near term compliance with the listing requirements relating to stockholders' equity or market value of listed securities. In determining whether to accept our plan, Nasdaq will consider such things as the likelihood that the plan will result in compliance with Nasdaq's continued listing criteria, the Company's past compliance history, the reasons for the Company's current non-compliance, other corporate events that may occur within the review period, the Company's overall financial condition, and its public disclosures. Kyntra Bio may also consider applying to transfer the Company's securities to the Nasdaq Capital Market. Reported Earnings • Mar 18

New minor risk - Share price stability The company's share price has been volatile over the past 3 months. It is more volatile than 75% of American stocks, typically moving 11% a week. This is considered a minor risk. Share price volatility indicates the stock is highly sensitive to market conditions or economic conditions rather than being sensitive to its own business performance, which may also be inconsistent. It also increases the risk of potential losses in the short term as the stock tends to have larger drops in price more frequently than other stocks. Currently, the following risks have been identified for the company: Major Risk Earnings are forecast to decline by an average of 2.8% per year for the foreseeable future. Minor Risks Currently unprofitable and not forecast to become profitable over next 3 years (US$53m net loss in 3 years). Share price has been volatile over the past 3 months (11% average weekly change). Market cap is less than US$100m (US$32.6m market cap). Anuncio • Feb 24
Kyntra Bio Announces Positive Data from the Investigator-Sponsored Phase 1B/2 Study of Fg-3246 Kyntra Bio announced that the data on anti-tumor activity of FG-3246 in combination with enzalutamide in patients with metastatic castration-resistant prostate cancer (mCRPC) from the investigator-sponsored Phase 1b/2 study will be presented at the 2026 American Society of Clinical Oncology Genitourinary Cancers Symposium (ASCO GU), taking place February 26-28, 2026 in San Francisco, CA. The presentation includes data from 44 biomarker unselected patients with progressive metastatic castration-resistant prostate cancer, 17 of which were enrolled in the Phase 1b dose escalation portion of the study. Eligibility criteria for the trial included patients who progressed on at least one prior ARPI while patients who were treated with prior chemotherapy in the castration-resistant setting were excluded. Over 60% of the patients progressed on two or more prior ARPIs, which included prior enzalutamide treatment. The primary endpoint of the escalation phase was assessment of dose-limiting toxicities (DLT) and determination of the maximum tolerated dose and recommended dose for the Phase 2 portion of the study – which was determined to be 2.1 mg/kg of FG-3246 and 160 mg/day of enzalutamide. The primary endpoint of the Phase 2 expansion portion of the study was composite response rate (PSA50 response and/or objective response per RECIST v1.1). Secondary endpoints were PSA50 response rate, objective response rate, radiographic progression free survival (rPFS), overall survival, and treatment-related adverse events (TRAEs). FG-3246 combined with enzalutamide demonstrated anti-tumor activity with a composite response rate of 21% in the overall cohort and 40% in patients who had progressed on only one prior ARPI. Median rPFS of 7.0 months was observed in the overall cohort. Notably, median rPFS of 10.1 months was observed in patients who had progressed on only one prior ARPI, a result which was consistent across the different prior ARPIs administered. Additionally, higher tumor uptake of FG-3180 demonstrated a trend towards higher probability of PSA50 response (p=0.053), highlighting the potential of FG-3180 as a biomarker for patient selection. Combination therapy of FG-3246 and enzalutamide demonstrated a similar safety profile as was observed in the previous Phase 1 monotherapy trial of FG-3246. Neutropenia risk was successfully mitigated with use of G-CSF prophylaxis. The most frequent TRAEs with the combination therapy included fatigue, peripheral neuropathy, anorexia, and dysgeusia. Cumulative toxicities, including peripheral neuropathy, led to treatment discontinuation for some patients. FG-3246 is currently being evaluated in a Phase 2 monotherapy trial with interim data expected in the second half of 2026. The trial also includes treatment with FG-3180, a CD46-directed PET imaging agent, which will measure expression levels of CD46 positive lesions. This will enable further assessment of the correlation between CD46 expression and response to FG-3246 and the potential of FG-3180 to serve as a biomarker to aid in patient selection in future trials of FG-3246.

FibroGen, Inc. Initiates Phase 2 Monotherapy Trial of FG-3246, a First-in-Class CD46 Targeting ADC, in Metastatic Castration-Resistant Prostate Cancer FibroGen, Inc. announced the initiation of the Phase 2 monotherapy, dose-optimization trial of FG-3246, a potential first-in-class antibody-drug conjugate (ADC) targeting CD46-expressing cancer lesions in patients with metastatic castration-resistant prostate cancer (mCRPC). The trial will also assess the diagnostic and predictive performance of FG-3180, a companion PET imaging agent, which shares the same CD46-targeted antibody used in FG-3246. The Phase 2 monotherapy trial (NCT06842498) is a randomized, open label, dose optimization trial designed to evaluate the safety, efficacy, tolerability, and pharmacokinetics (PK) of FG-3246 for the treatment of patients with mCRPC who have progressed following ARSI treatment and who have not received chemotherapy for their mCRPC. Secondary endpoints include radiographic progression free survival (rPFS), prostate-specific antigen (PSA) 50 response, and PSA90 response. An interim analysis is planned once 12 patients enrolled in each of the three dose arms have completed 12 weeks on study or discontinued and is anticipated in the second half of 2026. An exploratory sub-study will evaluate FG-3180, a partner PET imaging agent, as a diagnostic radiopharmaceutical. All patients deemed eligible for participation in the Phase 2 trial will participate in the sub-study evaluating FG-3180 prior to randomization. In addition, topline results from the ongoing investigator-sponsored study of FG-3246 in combination with enzalutamide in patients with mCRPC are expected in the fourth quarter of 2025.

New major risk - Revenue and earnings growth Earnings are forecast to decline by an average of 0.7% per year for the foreseeable future. This is considered a major risk. Ultimately, shareholders want to see a good return on their investment and that generally comes from sharing in the company's profits. If profits are expected to decline, then in most cases the share price will decline over time as well. In addition, if the company pays dividends it will also likely need to reduce or cut them, striking a dual blow to total shareholder returns. Currently, the following risks have been identified for the company: Major Risks Less than 1 year of cash runway based on free cash flow trend (-US$76m free cash flow). Negative equity (-US$175m). Earnings are forecast to decline by an average of 0.7% per year for the foreseeable future.

Fibrogen, Inc. Announces Publication of Results from Phase 1 Monotherapy Study of Fg-3246 in Patients with Metastatic Castration-Resistant Prostate Cancer in the Journal of Clinical Oncology FibroGen, Inc. announced the peer-reviewed publication titled "A Phase 1, First-in-Human Study of FOR46 (FG-3246), an Immune-Modulating Antibody-Drug Conjugate Targeting CD46, in Patients with Metastatic Castration Resistant Prostate Cancer" in the Journal of Clinical Oncology. The manuscript includes the complete results from the Fortis Therapeutics-sponsored Phase 1 study of FOR46 (now known as FG-3246), a potential first-in-class anti-CD46 antibody drug conjugate (ADC) with an MMAE-containing payload, in patients with metastatic castration-resistant prostate cancer (mCRPC). This is the first clinical trial targeting CD46 in patients with prostate cancer, and the totality of the data highlights the promising potential of FG-3246 anti-cancer activity, especially when considering the unselected, heavily pre-treated patient population in the trial. The trial results provide key insights into the potential clinical impact of targeting CD46 in the treatment of mCRPC and support its further development in this disease space with high unmet need," said Dr. Rahul Aggarwal, Professor of Medicine at the University of California San Francisco, and Principal Investigator of the study. Ocular adverse events were infrequent, which may be a distinguishing feature compared with other MMAE-based ADCs. Efficacy observed in the RECIST-evaluable set of 25 patients: Confirmed objective response rate was 20% with median duration of response of 7.5 months; All objective responses observed at a starting dose of 2.7 mg/kg or higher; Disease control rate was 80% with duration of treatment exceeding 24 weeks in 12 patients (48%) PSA50 response rate of 36% in 39 evaluable patients; Of eight evaluable patients who received docetaxel in the castration-sensitive setting, four (50%) achieved a confirmed PSA50 response; Median radiographic progression-free survival of 8.7 months in all 40 subjects in the efficacy analysis set; Of 15 evaluable baseline tumors, 12 (80%) were positive for CD46 expression by immunohistochemistry; FG-3246 responders were found to have a significantly higher frequency of effector T cells and lower frequency of immunosuppressive myeloid cells. The Company anticipates initiating the Phase 2 monotherapy dose optimization study of FG-3246 in patients with mCRPC by mid-2025. FG-3246 is also being evaluated in combination with enzalutamide in an investigator-sponsored study with topline results from the Phase 2 portion of the study anticipated in 2H 2025.

The notification received has no immediate effect on the listing of FibroGen’s common stock on Nasdaq. In accordance with listing rule 5810(c)(3)(A), FibroGen has 180 calendar days, or until March 11, 2025, to regain compliance with the minimum bid price rule. To regain compliance, the closing bid price of FibroGen’s common stock must be at least $1.00 per share for a minimum of ten consecutive business days (or such longer period of time as the Nasdaq staff may require in some circumstances, but generally not more than 20 consecutive business days) before March 11, 2025. If FibroGen’s common stock does not achieve compliance by March 11, 2025, FibroGen may be eligible for an additional 180-day period to regain compliance if it meets the continued listing requirement for market value of publicly held shares and all other initial listing standards, with the exception of the bid price requirement, and provides written notice to Nasdaq of its intention to cure the deficiency during the second compliance period, including by effecting a reverse stock split, if necessary. However, if it appears to the Nasdaq staff that FibroGen will not be able to cure the deficiency, or if FibroGen does not meet the other listing standards, Nasdaq could provide notice that FibroGen’s common stock will become subject to delisting. In the event FibroGen receives notice that its common stock is being delisted, Nasdaq rules permit FibroGen to appeal any delisting determination by the Nasdaq staff to a Hearings Panel. FibroGen currently meets the continued listing requirement for market value of publicly held shares and all other initial listing standards of The Nasdaq Stock Market, with the exception of the bid price requirement. FibroGen intends to actively monitor the closing bid price of its common stock between now and March 11, 2025, and will evaluate available options to resolve the deficiency and regain compliance with the minimum bid price rule.

New minor risk - Shareholder dilution The company's shareholders have been diluted in the past year. Increase in shares outstanding: 2.2% This is considered a minor risk. Shareholder dilution occurs when there is an increase in the number of shares on issue that is not proportionally distributed between all shareholders. Often due to the company raising equity capital or some options being converted into stock. All else being equal, if there are more shares outstanding then each existing share will be entitled to a lower proportion of the company's total earnings, thus reducing earnings per share (EPS). While dilution might not always result in lower EPS (like if the company is using the capital to fund an EPS accretive acquisition) in a lot cases it does, along with lower dividends per share and less voting power at shareholder meetings. Currently, the following risks have been identified for the company: Major Risks Less than 1 year of cash runway based on free cash flow trend (-US$203m free cash flow). Share price has been highly volatile over the past 3 months (19% average weekly change). Negative equity (-US$190m).

FibroGen, Inc. Announces Topline Results from Two Late-Stage Pamrevlumab Pancreatic Cancer Studies FibroGen, Inc. announced topline results from two late-stage trials evaluating the efficacy and safety of pamrevlumab in patients with pancreatic cancer. The pamrevlumab experimental arm in PanCAN’s Precision Promise Phase 2/3 adaptive platform trial compared treatment with pamrevlumab combined with gemcitabine + nab-paclitaxel to gemcitabine + nab-paclitaxel alone for treatment in first line (1L) and second line (2L) patients with metastatic pancreatic ductal adenocarcinoma (mPDAC). The pamrevlumab arm of the study did not meet the primary endpoint of overall survival as determined by the protocol pre-specified Bayesian statistical analysis. The Phase 3 LAPIS trial compared treatment with pamrevlumab combined with gemcitabine + nab-paclitaxel or FOLFIRINOX to placebo combined with gemcitabine + nab-paclitaxel or FOLFIRINOX for the treatment of locally advanced, unresectable pancreatic cancer (LAPC). The study did not meet the primary endpoint of overall survival. Based upon the results of the late-stage pamrevlumab trials in pancreatic cancer, the company plans to implement an immediate and significant cost reduction plan in the U.S. The pamrevlumab development program will be terminated and the Company plans to expeditiously wind down any remaining pamrevlumab obligations. As a result of the cost reduction plan, headcount in the U.S. will be reduced by approximately 75%. PanCAN’s Precision Promise Pamrevlumab Arm Efficacy Results: Given both 1L and 2L pamrevlumab treatment groups graduated into Stage 2 of PanCAN’s Precision Promise study, the hazard ratio for the primary overall survival (OS) analysis assumed a common hazard ratio to estimate a single treatment effect for both 1L and 2L pamrevlumab patients combined compared to patients treated with gemcitabine + nab-paclitaxel. In addition, the pre-specified Bayesian model utilized a hierarchical model that included the borrowing of data from the mFOLFIRINOX control arm to the gemcitabine + nab-paclitaxel control arm for the primary efficacy analysis. The pre-specified primary efficacy analysis was performed in a modified intention-to-treat (mITT) population that included only subjects who initiated treatment. The mITT population in the pamrevlumab arm was comprised of a total of 102 patients in the 1L treatment group and 111 patients in the 2L treatment group and the gemcitabine + nab-paclitaxel control arm was comprised of a total of 34 patients in the 1L treatment group and 36 patients in the 2L treatment group. LAPIS Efficacy Results: The study did not meet the primary endpoint of overall survival (stratified log-rank p-value=0.55). Median overall survival of 17.3 months was observed in the pamrevlumab combined with gemcitabine + nab-paclitaxel or FOLFIRINOX arm compared to median overall survival of 17.9 months in the control arm of placebo combined with gemcitabine + nab-paclitaxel or FOLFIRINOX (HR: 1.08; 95% CI – 0.83 to 1.41). Pamrevlumab Safety Results (Precision Promise and LAPIS): The preliminary safety analyses across both studies indicate that the safety profile of pamrevlumab combined with gemcitabine + nab-paclitaxel or FOLFIRINOX was generally well tolerated with an acceptable safety profile in pancreatic cancer patients. No clinically meaningful differences in treatment emergent adverse events were seen between the treatment arms. Major Estimate Revision • Aug 01

FibroGen, Inc. Announces FDA Clearance of Investigational New Drug Application for FG-3165, A Galectin-9 Targeting Monoclonal Antibody, for the Treatment of Patients with Solid Tumors FibroGen, Inc. announced that the U.S. Food and Drug Administration has cleared the Company’s Investigational New Drug (IND) of FG-3165, a galectin-9 (Gal9) targeted monoclonal antibody under development for treatment of solid tumors characterized by high Gal9 levels of expression. The FDA IND clearance enables FibroGen to initiate a Phase 1 clinical trial evaluating the safety and efficacy of FG-3165 in patients with select solid tumors. The trial is anticipated to begin enrollment in the second half of 2024. FG-3165 is a galectin-9 (“Gal9”) targeted antibody under development for treatment of solid tumors and potentially hematologic malignancies characterized by high Gal9 levels of expression. Gal9 has been reported to signal through multiple immune checkpoints on lymphocytes, including TIM3, VISTA, and PD-1, suppressing T and natural killer cell activation. FG-3165 selectively binds to Gal9 with high affinity and inhibits its ability to induce lymphocyte cell death, resulting in enhanced tumor cell killing. Toxicology material as well as GMP material for the upcoming Phase 1 clinical trial was manufactured in partnership with Just-Evotec Biologics. Anuncio • May 24
FibroGen Announces Presentation of Positive Interim Data from the Phase 1b Study of FG-3246 (FOR46) in Combination with Enzalutamide in Patients with Metastatic Castration Resistant Prostate Cancer at the 2024 American Society of Clinical Oncology Annual Meeting FibroGen, Inc. announced positive interim results from the dose escalation portion of the investigator-sponsored Phase 1b/2 study conducted by the University of California San Francisco of FG-3246 (FOR46), a potential first-in-class anti-CD46 antibody drug conjugate (ADC) with a MMAE-containing payload, in combination with enzalutamide in patients with metastatic castration resistant prostate cancer (mCRPC) at the 2024 American Society of Clinical Oncology (ASCO) Annual Meeting. The presentation includes data from 17 biomarker unselected patients in the dose escalation portion of the trial. Eligibility criteria for the trial included patients who received at least one prior androgen receptor signaling inhibitor (ARSI) while patients who were treated with prior chemotherapy in the castration resistant setting were excluded. Over 70% of the patients in the study received at least two prior ARSIs, which included prior enzalutamide treatment. Dose escalation was explored with and without prophylactic granulocyte colony-stimulating factor (G-CSF) support. The primary endpoint was determination of the maximally tolerated dose (MTD) of FG-3246 in combination with enzalutamide. The combination treatment demonstrated an encouraging preliminary estimate of median radiographic progression free survival (rPFS) of 10.2 months. The MTD was established at 2.1 mg/kg ABW, with primary G-CSF prophylaxis, in combination with enzalutamide 160 mg/day. The most frequent adverse events were consistent with other MMAE-based ADCs and included fatigue, weight loss, elevated transaminases, neutropenia, and peripheral neuropathy. Additionally, a baseline CD46-directed PET imaging probe utilizing the same antibody backbone as FG-3246 (89Zr-DFO-YS5) was obtained in a subset of patients and demonstrated tumor uptake in multiple lesions. This Phase 1b/2 study is an investigator-sponsored trial being conducted at the University of California San Francisco to evaluate FG-3246 (FOR46) in combination with enzalutamide in patients with metastatic castration resistant prostate cancer (mCRPC) after prior progression on at least one androgen receptor signaling inhibitor. The primary objective for the Phase 1b portion of the study is to determine the maximally tolerated dose (MTD) and recommended Phase 2 dose of FG-3246 in combination with enzalutamide in patients with mCRPC. The objectives of the Phase 2 portion of the study are to determine the composite response rate (CRR), proportion of participants with a greater than or equal to 50% change in prostate specific antigen (PSA50), objective response rate (ORR), median duration of response, median radiographic progression free survival (rPFS), and median overall survival (OS) of patients treated with FG-3246 in combination with enzalutamide.

FibroGen, Inc. Announces Completion of the Pamrevlumab Arm in Precision Promise, Pancreatic Cancer Action Network’s Phase 2/3 Adaptive Platform Trial for Metastatic Pancreatic Cancer FibroGen, Inc. announced graduation and completion of the pamrevlumab experimental arm in the Pancreatic Cancer Action Network's (PanCAN) Precision PromiseSM Phase 2/3 adaptive platform trial, which evaluates pamrevlumab in combination with the chemotherapy treatments gemcitabine and nab-paclitaxel for patients with metastatic pancreatic ductal adenocarcinoma (mPDAC). Topline data from this registration study is anticipated in the second quarter of 2024. Pamrevlumab, in Stage 1 of the trial, achieved a protocol pre-specified = 35% predictive probability of success for the primary endpoint of overall survival at the completion of the trial, and thus graduated to the second and final Stage of the trial in the third quarter of 2022. Pamrevlumab is the first experimental arm to meet its required threshold for graduation to Stage 2 in the adaptive platform trial. The pamrevlumab arm of the study completed Stage 2 of the trial in January 2024. PanCAN’s Precision PromiseSM adaptive platform trial (NCT04229004) is a U.S.-based, seamless Phase 2/3 study that enrolled patients in approximately 24 sites around the country. The multi-arm study consists of experimental treatment arms and two comparator arms: gemcitabine + nab-paclitaxel and mFOLFIRINOX. The pamrevlumab experimental arm was offered to patients with mPDAC as either a first-line (1L) or second-line (2L) treatment option. In the initial stage of the study (Stage 1), at least 100 patients with mPDAC received pamrevlumab in combination with gemcitabine and nab-paclitaxel. Guided by Bayesian principles, the graduation threshold for pamrevlumab was a protocol pre-specified = 35% predictive probability of success for the primary endpoint of overall survival at the completion of the trial. Upon graduation, an additional 75 patients with mPDAC were enrolled (Stage 2), receiving the same pamrevlumab treatment regimen as in Stage 1. All patients are dosed until disease progression and the final analysis is based upon the data collected up to 12 months after the last patient initiates treatment in Stage 2. The combined Stage 1 and Stage 2 data will form the basis for analysis of the primary and secondary endpoints for the pamrevlumab arm. Secondary endpoints include progression-free survival (PFS), objective response rate (ORR), and duration of response (DOR), offering a comprehensive understanding of the treatment's impact. Biomarker-related data, including genomics data, have been collected to provide additional insights into the trial's outcomes. Precision PromiseSM is a registration study and the statistical design has been discussed by PanCAN with the FDA. The statistical design of Precision PromiseSM is led by renowned statistician Dr. Donald Berry of Berry Consulting. Buying Opportunity • Dec 20

Fibrogen, Inc. Announces Topline Results from Lelantos-2, A Phase 3 Clinical Study of Pamrevlumab in Ambulatory Muscular Dystrophy FibroGen, Inc. announced topline data from the Phase 3 LELANTOS-2 trial of pamrevlumab for the treatment of ambulatory patients with Duchenne muscular dystrophy (DMD) on background systemic corticosteroids. The study did not meet the primary endpoint of change in the North Star Ambulatory Assessment (NSAA) total score from baseline to week 52 (placebo-corrected mean difference -0.528 points; 95% CI -2.308 to 1.251; p=0.5553). Secondary endpoints measured by change from baseline at week 52 in 4-stair climb velocity, 10-meter walk/run test, time to stand, time to loss of ambulation, and proportion of patients with greater than 10 seconds in the 10-meter walk/run test were also not met. Preliminary safety data showed that pamrevlumab was generally safe and well tolerated. The majority of treatment emergent adverse events were mild or moderate. Treatment-emergent serious adverse events were observed in 8.3% of patients in the pamrevlumab group and 2.8% of patients in the placebo group. FibroGen is in the process of evaluating the totality of the data, including other pre-specified endpoints, to determine the next steps for the program. The Company plans to communicate the full results of the LELANTOS-2 study at an upcoming medical forum. A total of 73 boys with ambulatory DMD ages 6 to <12 years were enrolled in LELANTOS-2, a global, Phase 3, randomized, double-blind trial of pamrevlumab or placebo in combination with systemic corticosteroids. The primary endpoint of the study was ambulatory function measured by change in the North Star Ambulatory Assessment (NSAA) total score from baseline to Week 52. Secondary endpoints assessed from baseline to Week 52 included changes in 4-stair climb velocity, 10-meter walk/run test, time to stand, time to loss of ambulation, and proportion of patients with greater than 10 seconds in the 10-meter walk/run test. In LELANTOS-2, patients were dosed with pamrevlumab (35 mg/kg IV on Day 1 and every two weeks thereafter with last dose at Week 52) or placebo. Duchenne muscular dystrophy (DMD) is a rare and debilitating neuromuscular disease that affects approximately 1 in every 5,000 newborn boys. About 20,000 children are diagnosed with DMD globally each year. The fatal disease is caused by a genetic mutation leading to the absence or defect of dystrophin, a protein necessary for normal muscle function. The absence of dystrophin results in muscle weakness, muscle loss, fibrosis, and inflammation. Patients with DMD are often wheelchair-bound before the age of 12, and their progressive muscle weakness may lead to serious medical problems relating to respiratory and cardiac muscle. Pamrevlumab is a potential first-in-class antibody being developed by FibroGen to inhibit the activity of connective tissue growth factor (CTGF), a common factor in fibrotic and proliferative disorders characterized by persistent and excessive scarring that can lead to organ dysfunction and failure. Pamrevlumab is in Phase 3 clinical development for the treatment of ambulatory Duchenne muscular dystrophy (DMD), and locally advanced unresectable pancreatic cancer (LAPC), and in Phase 2/3 for the treatment of metastatic pancreatic cancer. The U.S. Food and Drug Administration has granted Orphan Drug Designation to pamrevlumab for treatment of patients with DMD and pancreatic cancer, and Fast Track designation to pamrevlumab for the treatment of patients with DMD and LAPC. The U.S. Food and Drug Administration has also granted Rare Pediatric Disease Designation to pamrevlumab for the treatment of patients with DMD. Pamrevlumab has demonstrated a safety and tolerability profile that has supported ongoing clinical investigation in DMD, LAPC, and metastatic pancreatic cancer. Reported Earnings • Aug 08
