NEWTON, Mass. – August 5, 2021 – Karyopharm Therapeutics Inc. (Nasdaq:KPTI), a commercial-stage pharmaceutical company pioneering novel cancer therapies, today reported business highlights and financial results for the quarter ended June 30, 2021.
Richard Paulson, President and Chief Executive Officer of Karyopharm, commented, “We are encouraged by the commercial performance of XPOVIO during the first half of 2021, which reflected meaningful year-over-year growth, up 21% compared to the first half of 2020, driven by rising confidence and demand from both academic and community-based oncologists. XPOVIO continues to move earlier in the treatment paradigm following U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) approval in the second-line plus treatment setting for multiple myeloma in December 2020. In my first 100 days as CEO, my top priorities have been executional excellence in our multiple myeloma launch and prioritizing and advancing our pipeline. With respect to the launch, we’ve strengthened our organization and execution while solidifying our positioning in the multiple myeloma treatment landscape. XPOVIO is a new and effective modality that can become a standard of care in second-line plus, where utilizing new mechanisms is critical to continue improving patient outcomes. With respect to the pipeline, we have initiated a comprehensive portfolio review and continue to move forward with key new trials.”
“Looking ahead to the remainder of 2021, there are several important events and milestones on the horizon. First, we plan to host an investor day in the fourth quarter to outline Karyopharm’s commercial and pipeline priorities and objectives for the upcoming quarters and years. Next, along with continued commercial growth in hematologic cancers, we are expecting top-line data from the Phase 3 SIENDO study in endometrial cancer, also around the end of this year. Endometrial cancer is the most common gynecologic cancer and has the potential to be our first XPOVIO approval in solid tumors. And finally, we expect to initiate or expand several key clinical studies across our pipeline, including in myelodysplastic syndrome, myelofibrosis, multiple myeloma and colorectal cancer,” concluded Mr. Paulson.
