Stage 3 Enrollment

Stemline has completed enrolment of the Stage 3 cohort of the SL-401 pivotal trial in BPDCN. The Company has enrolled 13 first-line BPDCN patients for the Stage III trials. The Company stated that the statistical analysis will be based on evaluable first-line patients. The registration pathway was as per its agreement with the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA). Based on the data outcome of the trial, Stemline plans to use the results generated to support the potential filing of a Biologics License Application (BLA) for full approval in first-line BPDCN, and is targeting possible BLA filing in H2 2017.

For the Stage III multicenter, pivotal trial Stemline has enrolled 47 BPDCN patients at seven centers in the US. The 47 BPDCN patients were comprised of 32 first-line patients and 15 relapsed/refractory patients dosed at 12 ug/kg/day. Stemline plans to provide a clinical update on patients enrolled in Stages 1 and 2 at a medical conference around mid-year, with top-line data from Stage 3 expected in H2 2017. Stemline plans to continue to enroll both first-line and relapsed/refractory BPDCN patients under the current protocol. SL-401 received Breakthrough Therapy Designation (BTD) by the FDA in August 2016.

BLA Preparation and Pre-Commercial Activities

Stemline announced that its clinical, preclinical, manufacturing, and regulatory teams are working toward a timely and comprehensive potential BLA filing. Ongoing efforts include compiling the necessary supportive data and assembling the BLA modules, including clinical, clinical pharmacology, non-clinical, and CMC (chemistry, manufacturing, and controls). In parallel, the Company's commercial team is working to define the BPDCN market landscape, including factors related to patient flow, market access and pricing considerations, all with an eye toward setting the stage for a successful launch of SL-401, if approved.

Other Trial Updates

Stemline is performing additional Phase 2 trials with SL-401 and is enrolling patients with other malignancies including high-risk myeloproliferative neoplasms (MPN) and acute myeloid leukemia (AML) in remission with minimal residual disease (MRD). A Phase 1/2 trial of SL-401 in combination with pomalidomide is enrolling patients with relapsed/refractory multiple myeloma. The Company also has a Phase 1 dose escalation trial and is enrolling patients with advanced tumors with SL-801, a novel oral small molecule reversible inhibitor of XPO1. A Phase 2 trial with SL-701, an immunotherapy designed to activate the immune system to attack tumors has completed dosing and patients with second-line glioblastoma are being followed for survival.
