Y-mAbs Announces Update on Naxitamab and Omburtamab in Neuroblastoma
Naxitamab
In a poster presentation,
“We are excited to share this new clinical data for naxitamab, which we believe could be a very important new treatment for high-risk neuroblastoma patients, if approved. Naxitamab is administered in an outpatient setting, and the FDA previously set a PDUFA date of
Omburtamab
In an oral presentation,
“The preliminary OS results from the multicenter Study 101 are encouraging and appears almost identical to the results of Study 03-133, which was conducted at MSK. While recruitment is still ongoing, we are very pleased to see the preliminary omburtamab data in the multicenter setting appearing supportive of the conclusions from the MSK data. We believe the preliminary survival curves are very similar to the original MSK data, and this is good news for children with CNS/leptomeningeal metastasis from neuroblastoma,” said
Researchers at MSK developed naxitamab and omburtamab, which are exclusively licensed by MSK to Y-mAbs. As a result of this licensing arrangement, MSK has institutional financial interests related to the compounds and Y-mAbs.
