Es ist gut möglich, das Pfizer PF 582 nicht mehr haben möchte. Damit wäre Pfenex dann ohne Partner für PF 582. Pfizer/Hospira hatte fürs nächste Jahre für den Lucentis Biosimilar eine Phase 3 geplant. Pfenex hat im Augenblick nicht das Geld eine eigene Phase 3 mit PF 582 zu bewältigen.
Pfenex Inc. (NYSE : PFNX) announced that the company will regain the full rights to PF582, a biosimilar candidate to Lucentis, following our partner's strategic review of the current therapeutic focus of its biosimilar pipeline.
"With Pfenex regaining the rights to PF582 we are announcing the PF582 phase 1/2 safety and efficacy data which we believe highlights the significant value of the program," stated Bertrand C. Liang, chief executive officer of Pfenex. "We will consider strategic options for PF582 following the expeditious transition of the full development program back to Pfenex. Pfenex's development capabilities, leveraging our Pfenex Expression Technology® platform, has allowed us to advance a diverse portfolio of product candidates, including PF582, which we believe will create significant value for our shareholders. We look forward to providing key updates on our pipeline progress throughout the year." |
