Item 8.01 Other Events.
The AVENGER 500 Phase 3 clinical trial for CPI-613® (devimistat), Rafael Pharmaceuticals’ lead product candidate, did not meet its primary endpoint of significant improvement in overall survival in patients with metastatic adenocarcinoma of the pancreas.
Following a pre-specified interim analysis, the independent data monitoring committee has recommended the ARMADA 2000 clinical trial of devimistat for patients with relapsed or refractory acute myeloid leukemia be stopped due to lack of efficacy.
