Spectrum plunges 28% after FDA scientists question poziotinib evidence for NSCLC

US FDA scientists are concerned about the data Spectrum Pharmaceuticals (NASDAQ:SPPI) has provided to support its drug poziotinib for non-small cell lung cancer ahead of an advisory committee meeting on Thursday. Shares are down 28% in Tuesday morning trading. In a briefing document, the FDA scientists state the data provided shows a low overall response rate (ORR) with minimal duration of response (DOR). ORR was 28% while median DOR was 5.1 months. In addition, they say the safety profile is poor in that at the proposed dosage, 57% of patients experienced dose reductions and 85% of patients had grade 3-4 adverse events. Also, the FDA team faults Spectrum (SPPI) for what it calls inadequate dosage optimization since the company has proposed two different doses for accelerated approval and the planned confirmatory trial. "Confirmation of benefit will be significantly delayed given that confirmatory trial has not begun enrolling patients." Poziotinib is an oral tyrosine kinase inhibitor that inhibits the activity of epidermal growth factor receptor (EGFR [HER1], HER2, and HER4) kinases. Seeking Alpha's Quant Rating views Spectrum (SPPI) as a hold.

Spectrum Pharmaceuticals: Revisiting This 'Soap Opera'

We are circling back on a small biopharma named Spectrum Pharmaceuticals for the first time in a year and a half today. Spectrum has turned into a soap opera since then with two departures from the C-Suite, a CRL, and a significant workforce reduction. However, the company still is pushing two compounds towards potential FDA approval this year. An investment analysis follows in the paragraphs below. "Even as a solid rock is unshaken by the wind, so are the wise unshaken by praise or blame."― Dhammapada We last posted an article on Spectrum Pharmaceuticals (SPPI) back in March of 2021. At that time, we declined any investment recommendation on the shares but did promise to circle back on this name as its story developed. The company reported second-quarter results earlier this month and I have gotten a question or two from Seeking Alpha followers recently. Therefore, we will revisit this small biopharma company via the analysis below. Seeking Alpha Company Overview: Spectrum Pharmaceuticals focuses on developing and commercializing novel and targeted drug products with a primary focus in oncology. The company is headquartered just outside of Las Vegas. The stock currently trades around $1.25 a share and sports an approximate market capitalization of $250 million. Recent Developments: The company has been a non-stop soap opera since we last looked in on it. Its primary asset is ROLONTIS (eflapegrastim). Spectrum had submitted a marketing application on it for the treatment of neutropenia in patients receiving myelosuppressive anti-cancer drugs. This candidate has had a rocky ride, to say the least, towards FDA approval. First, the inspection of the manufacturing facility where ROLONTIS was to be made in South Korea by partner Hanmi was delayed thanks to the pandemic. March Company Presentation Then in August of 2021, the FDA slapped Spectrum's Biologics License Application or BLA with a Complete Response Letter or CRL. The CRL cited deficiencies related to manufacturing and indicated that a re-inspection will be necessary. Then in December of last year, the company announced its CEO was retiring which was followed by resignation of its CFO in February of this year. In between those management losses, Spectrum announced a restructuring that resulted in approximately 30% of its workforce being let go. The company also halted development of early-stage drug candidates to focus solely on pushing poziotinib and ROLONTIS across the finish line. These measures were projected to reduce annual cash burn by 20% to 25% and push the company's 'cash runway' into 2023. The company did resubmit its BLA for ROLONTIS in April and the FDA is scheduled to make a decision on its application on September 9th. January 2021 Company Presentation The FDA completed re-inspection of the manufacturing facility for ROLONTIS in August. Chemo-induced neutropenia impacts just over one million individuals in the United States. ROLONTIS would be the first drug in its class approved for this indication since Neulasta got the green light from the FDA in 2002. March Company Presentation March Company Presentation The approval path for poziotinib has been much smoother to this point. The compound is targeting patients with previously treated, locally advanced or metastatic non-small cell lung cancer, harboring HER2 exon 20 insertion mutations. This drug candidate is an orally administered, irreversible tyrosine kinase inhibitor targeting EGFR and HER2 with exon 20 insertion mutations. Poziotinib has fast track designation and is on an accelerated approval pathway for this indication. The NDA was submitted some ago has a PDUFA date of November 24th of this year. It is important to note Poziotinib has a much smaller potential market than ROLONTIS and the company will have to demonstrate the compound has an overall risk benefit and clinical relevance based on its 'ZENITH' study to the FDA to garner approval. A randomized confirmatory trial is currently ongoing. A critical phase 2 trial in 2nd line NSCLC patients with EGFR exon 20 mutations around Poziotinib did not meet its primary endpoint of ORR in one of its cohorts early in 2020. Analyst Commentary & Balance Sheet: Since second quarter results posted, B. Riley Financial ($4 price target), H.C. Wainwright ($10 price target) and JMP Securities ($4 price target) have all reiterated Buy ratings on SPPI.
