"There was significant interest in the different patient subgroups that made up our study given the challenges typically seen in recruiting for clinical trials in osteosarcoma, especially with patients' first metastatic event for which we have sufficient data to perform this subgroup analysis," said Paul Romness, MPH, Chairman & CEO of OS Therapies. "We believe the favorable safety profile when compared with alternative institutional standards of care that rely primarily on chemotherapeutic agents played a significant role in that. The recruitment of patients into our study seems representative of the overall annual patient population and the overall survival efficacy signal appears broadly across the different subgroups of patients in our trial."
Mr. Romness continued, "We are looking forward to upcoming regulatory meetings with the U.S. Food & Drug Administration ('FDA'), the U.K. Medicines and Healthcare products Regulatory Agency ('MHRA') and the European Medicines Agency ('EMA') to review our overall survival data, pending biomarker data and post-market confirmatory OST-HER2 metastatic osteosarcoma trial design as we prepare to file a Biologics License Authorization (BLA) under the FDA's Accelerated Approval Program and Marketing Authorization Applications (MAAs) utilizing MHRA and EMA's Conditional Approval pathway."
