Section 8 – Other Events
Item 8.01. Other Events.
Novartis Pharma AG ("Novartis") has released the first interpretable results from its two-year Phase 3 study 2302 (the “2302 Study”) in osteoarthritis conducted by its license partner Nordic Bioscience with oral calcitonin. Novartis reports that preliminary analysis of the data showed both the primary and secondary endpoints of the study were not met. However, analysis of the data provided did show a positive safety profile for the oral calcitonin study drug. These findings are consistent with a previously reported independent Data Monitoring Committee’s futility analysis released in 2010 of one year data for all patients enrolled in the 2302 Study.
