Odonate Therapeutics Announces Discontinuation of Development of Tesetaxel

Following feedback from the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) in a pre-New Drug Application meeting, Odonate Therapeutics, Inc. ODT has concluded that the clinical data package for tesetaxel is unlikely to support FDA approval. Therefore, Odonate is discontinuing the development of tesetaxel and will wind down the operations of the Company. The Company will work with clinical sites to transition patients in ongoing tesetaxel clinical studies to appropriate alternative therapies.

"We thank the investigators, study team personnel, and especially the patients and their caregivers for their endeavors to improve treatments for patients with breast cancer," said Kevin Tang, Chief Executive Officer of Odonate.
