On January 23, 2018, the Company issued a press release announcing completion of a pre-planned interim futility analysis of the Phase 3 SOPHIA trial. SOPHIA is a randomized, controlled, multi-center study that compares margetuximab plus chemotherapy to trastuzumab plus chemotherapy in subjects with metastatic breast cancer. Based on the results from the futility analysis, an independent data safety monitoring committee has recommended that the SOPHIA trial continue as planned. In addition, the Company also announced in the same press release that the U.S. FDA has granted Fast Track designation of margetuximab for treatment of patients with metastatic or locally advanced HER-2 positive breast cancer who have previously been treated with anti-HER2-targeted therapy. A copy of the press release is furnished as Exhibit 99.1 to this Current Report on Form 8-K and incorporated by reference herein.
The information furnished pursuant to this Item 7.01 of this Report, including Exhibit 99.1 attached hereto, shall not be deemed “filed” for purposes of Section 18 of the Exchange Act or otherwise subject to the liability of that section, nor shall it be deemed incorporated by reference in any filing under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, or under the Exchange Act, regardless of any general incorporation language in any such filing, unless the Company expressly sets forth in such filing that such information is to be considered “filed” or incorporated by reference therein.
