Puma Biotech (PBYI) Tops Q1 EPS by 53c, Revenues Beat

“We remain focused on providing a significant impact to cancer patients in need. The earlier-than-expected approval of the sNDA of NERLYNX in combination with capecitabine to treat adult patients with HER2-positive metastatic breast cancer who have received two or more prior anti HER2-based regimens in the metastatic setting is an important step toward this goal,” said Alan H. Auerbach, Chairman, Chief Executive Officer and President of Puma. “Our global partners also are working hard to bring the drug to market in their respective territories, thereby increasing global access to NERLYNX. Earlier today, we announced that our licensing partner CANbridge Pharmaceuticals received marketing approval of NERLYNX in mainland China. In addition, we are closely monitoring the changing COVID-19 situation. We are pleased to announce that we maintain a significant stock of NERLYNX and do not anticipate any disruption of supply to existing or new patients.”

Mr. Auerbach added, “We anticipate the following key milestones over the next 12 months: (i) conducting a pre-NDA meeting with the FDA to discuss accelerated approval of neratinib in HER2 mutated hormone receptor positive breast cancer and HER2 mutated cervical cancer in the first quarter of 2021; (ii) reporting Phase II data from the HER-positive breast and cervical cancer cohort from the SUMMIT trial of neratinib in patients with HER2 mutations in the fourth quarter of 2020; (iii) reporting additional data from the Phase II CONTROL trial in the fourth quarter of 2020; and (iv) receiving regulatory decisions for an extended adjuvant HER2-positive early stage breast cancer indication in additional countries.”
