Orphan Drug designation allows RedHill to benefit from various development incentives to develop YELIVA® (ABC294640) for cholangiocarcinoma, as well as a seven-year marketing exclusivity period for the indication, if approved for marketing
A Phase IIa clinical study with YELIVA® in patients with advanced, unresectable, intrahepatic and extrahepatic cholangiocarcinoma is planned to be initiated in the third quarter of 2017
Cholangiocarcinoma (bile duct cancer) is a highly lethal malignancy for which there is a strong need for more effective systemic treatments; the 5-year relative survival rate for patients with cholangiocarcinoma ranges between 2% to 30%, depending on the tumor type and stage at diagnosis
A Phase I study with YELIVA® in patients with advanced solid tumors successfully met its primary and secondary endpoints; of the three cholangiocarcinoma patients in the Phase I study, one patient had a sustained partial response and the other two had prolonged stable disease
RedHill is pursuing several Phase I/II clinical studies with YELIVA®, targeting multiple oncology and inflammatory indications, some of which are supported by National Cancer Institute (NCI) grants awarded to Apogee Biotechnology and U.S. universities
YELIVA® is a proprietary, first-in-class, orally-administered sphingosine kinase-2 (SK2) selective inhibitor, with anti-cancer and anti-inflammatory activities
TEL-AVIV, Israel, April 04, 2017 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- RedHill Biopharma Ltd. (RDHL) (Tel-Aviv Stock Exchange:RDHL) ("RedHill" or the "Company"), a specialty biopharmaceutical company primarily focused on the development and commercialization of late clinical-stage, proprietary, orally-administered, small molecule drugs for gastrointestinal and inflammatory diseases and cancer, today announced that the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) has granted YELIVA® (ABC294640) Orphan Drug designation for the treatment of cholangiocarcinoma.
The Orphan Drug designation allows RedHill to benefit from various development incentives to develop YELIVA® for this indication, including tax credits for qualified clinical testing, waiver of a prescription drug user fee (PDUFA fee) upon submission of a potential marketing application and, if approved, a seven-year marketing exclusivity period for the treatment of cholangiocarcinoma.
YELIVA® is a Phase II-stage, proprietary, first-in-class, orally-administered sphingosine kinase-2 (SK2) selective inhibitor with anticancer and anti-inflammatory activities, targeting multiple oncology, inflammatory and gastrointestinal indications. By inhibiting the SK2 enzyme, YELIVA® blocks the synthesis of sphingosine 1-phosphate (S1P), a lipid signaling molecule that promotes cancer growth and pathological inflammation.
