HENDERSON, Nev.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Spectrum Pharmaceuticals, Inc. (NasdaqGS: SPPI), a biotechnology company with fully integrated commercial and drug development operations with a primary focus in Hematology and Oncology, announced today financial results for the three-month period and year ended December 31, 2016.
“We made significant advancements in our pipeline throughout 2016 and I believe we are well positioned for transformational growth,” said Rajesh C. Shrotriya, MD, Chairman and Chief Executive Officer of Spectrum Pharmaceuticals. “ROLONTIS is our highest priority drug and we are pleased that we remain on track for a BLA filing next year. Poziotinib, which is being developed for breast cancer has recently emerged as a potential treatment for a high unmet medical need in lung cancer. Data presented in December suggests that poziotinib has potential in lung cancer patients with certain genetic mutations that have poor prognosis and limited treatment options. An investigator sponsored trial of poziotinib in such patients with EGFR Exon 20 insertion mutations at MD Anderson Cancer Center could yield key results before year end. We have also obtained a new SPA for our late-stage bladder cancer drug Qapzola that significantly reduces the number of patients required for an NDA filing. Spectrum is in a unique position of having multiple opportunities to create value while benefiting patients.”
