today announced the completion of the rolling submission of the New Drug Application (NDA) to the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) for pacritinib, an investigational oral kinase inhibitor with specificity for JAK2, FLT3, IRAK1 and CSF1R. CTI BioPharma and Baxalta are requesting U.S. marketing approval of pacritinib for the treatment of patients with intermediate and high-risk myelofibrosis with low platelet counts of less than 50,000 per microliter (<50,000/μL) – a specific patient population for which there is an existing unmet medical need. The Companies are seeking accelerated approval and have requested a Priority Review of the application. Pacritinib is an investigational treatment being developed for patients with myelofibrosis regardless of their platelet counts. If approved, pacritinib would be the first JAK2 inhibitor indicated for the treatment of patients with myelofibrosis and baseline platelet counts of less <50,000/μL. "We are pleased to have completed the rolling submission and look forward to working with the FDA during the review process with the goal of bringing this important treatment to people living with myelofibrosis, including those with low platelet counts,"
