Within thirty (30) days following the Effective Date, each Party will appoint (and notify the other Party of the identity of) a representative having the appropriate qualifications including a general understanding of pharmaceutical Development and Commercialization issues to act as its alliance manager under this Agreement (“Alliance Manager”). The Alliance Managers will serve as the primary contact points between the Parties for the purpose of providing each Party with information on the progress of the other Party’s Development and Commercialization of the Product(s). The Alliance Managers will also be primarily responsible for facilitating the flow of information and otherwise promoting communication, coordination and collaboration between the Parties, providing single point communication for seeking consensus both internally within each Party’s respective organization, including facilitating review of external corporate communications, and raising cross-Party and/or cross-functional disputes in a timely manner. Each Party may replace its Alliance Manager on written notice to the other Party.
     3.2 Joint Product Team.
          (a) Formation. Within thirty (30) days after the Effective Date, the Parties will establish a joint product team (the “Joint Product Team” or “JPT”) to plan, administer, evaluate and carry out all aspects of the Development, manufacture, regulatory and Commercialization activities by NK or its Affiliates hereunder with respect to the Products.
          (b) Members. The JPT will primarily consist of the internal product team of NK for the Products, include members from various NK functional groups (e.g., research, preclinical, safety, clinical, regulatory, marketing, manufacturing, as appropriate) which are or which will be expected to be involved in Developing, manufacturing and/or Commercialization of the Product and obtaining Regulatory Approval for the Product. Spectrum shall have the right (but not the obligation) to have its representatives on the JPT who will from time to time represent some or all of the following functional groups of Spectrum: clinical development, regulatory, medical affairs, pharmacovigilance, commercial and manufacturing. NK will appoint a chair of the JPT.
          (c) Meetings. NK shall schedule the half-yearly JPT meetings and shall inform Spectrum of such schedule at least quarterly in advance. Spectrum shall inform NK as to whether it will participate in each of such JPT meetings reasonably in advance. Either Party may call additional ad hoc meetings of the JPT as the needs arise with reasonable advance notice to the other Party, and such ad hoc meetings shall be conducted at times that are mutually agreed upon by the Parties, if Spectrum chooses to participate in such meeting. No later than five (5) business days prior to any regularly scheduled meeting of the JPT, the chairperson of the JPT shall prepare and circulate an agenda for such meeting and, as soon as practicable, all materials, documents and information for the meeting for distribution to both Parties (in the case of Spectrum, even in the event Spectrum chooses not to participate in such meeting); provided, however, that either Party may propose additional topics to be included on such agenda, either prior to or in the course of such meeting. The JPT may meet in person, by videoconference or by

12.


 

teleconference. The chairperson of the JPT will be responsible for preparing reasonably detailed written minutes of all JPT meetings that reflect, without limitation, material decisions made at such meetings. The JPT chairperson shall send draft meeting minutes to the NK members and the Spectrum members of the JPT (regardless of whether Spectrum chooses to participate in such meeting) for review and approval within ten (10) business days after each JPT meeting. Such minutes will be deemed approved unless one or more members of the JPT objects to the accuracy of such minutes within ten (10) business days of receipt. Further, upon NK’s request, Spectrum will use commercially reasonable efforts to coordinate any meeting among Spectrum, Allergan and NK for the exchange of information helpful for the Development of the Product. In addition to the regularly scheduled meetings, NK shall call additional ad hoc meetings of the JPT prior to making any major decisions in the Development of the Product in the NK Territory, including without limitation the decisions set forth in Sections 3.2(d)(A) through (F) below. The Parties shall also maintain regular, frequent and informal communications for Spectrum to obtain updates from NK and for the Parties to discuss the progress of the Development of the Product in the NK Territory.
          (d) JPT Actions. The JPT shall strive to seek consensus in its actions and decision making process. In the event of a disagreement between the Spectrum members and NK members of the JPT, either Party may refer the matter to one senior executive of each Party (i.e., the Chief Executive Officer or Managing Director of such Party or an executive of such Party who reports directly to the Chief Executive Officer or Managing Director) for resolution. If such senior executives cannot resolve the matter within ten (10) business days, then such senior executive of NK shall have the final decision making authority on such matter, provided that any final determination made by such senior executive of NK shall be consistent with the terms of this Agreement, further provided that NK shall not make any decision with respect to the following critical issues without the consent of Spectrum, such consent not to be unreasonably withheld or delayed: (A) discontinue the Development of any Product; (B) initiate or discontinue any clinical trial; (C) modify the TPP of the Product under Development; (D) unreasonably delay the process of or cease to seek Regulatory Approval for any Product; (E) unreasonably delay or cancel the commercial launch of any Product; and (F) remove any Product from the market, other than for safety reasons.
     3.3 Costs of Governance. The Parties agree that the costs incurred by each Party in connection with its participation at any meetings under this Article 3 shall be borne solely by such Party.
     3.4 Discontinuation of Participation in the JPT. Spectrum shall have the right, at any time during the Term and in its sole discretion, to provide NK with written notice of its intention to no longer participate in the JPT. Once Spectrum has provided such written notice to NK, NK shall continue with the JPT structure with NK members only, and all decisions formerly made within or by the JPT shall be determined by NK, consistent with the principles set forth in Sections 3.2(d). NK will continue to provide Spectrum with Information provided to its members at such JPT meetings.

Each Party shall notify the other Party within twenty-four (24) hours of such Party’s learning of any Serious Adverse Events (as defined below) that is attributed to or potentially attributable to the use of the Products. Each Party shall also provide the other Party, on an annual basis and more frequently as reasonably requested by the other Party, a summary report of Adverse Events (as defined below), as well as those Serious Adverse Events that are not attributable to the use of the Products. As used herein, unless defined differently by the FDA, “Adverse Events” means any side effect, injury, toxicity or sensitivity reaction, or any unexpected incident, and the severity thereof, whether or not determined to be attributable to any Product, and “Serious Adverse Events” means an Adverse Event which results in death, is immediately life-threatening, results in persistent and significant disability/incapacity or requires in-patient hospitalization or prolongation of existing hospitalization.
          (c) After the execution of the Pharmacovigilance Agreement, the Parties shall comply with the such Pharmacovigilance Agreement with respect to all aspects of pharmacovigilance activities with respect to the Products, and Section 5.2(b) above shall be of no further effect.
     5.3 No Harmful Actions. If either Party believes that the other Party, as the case may be, is taking or intends to take any action with respect to the Product that could reasonably be expected to have a material adverse impact upon the regulatory status of the Product in the Retained Territory or the NK Territory, such Party shall have the right to bring the matter to the attention of the JPT. Without limiting the foregoing, unless the Parties otherwise agree: (a) except as necessary for the clinical Development in South Korea pursuant to Section 2.1(a)(ii), NK shall not communicate with any Regulatory Authority having jurisdiction in the Retained Territory, unless so ordered by such Regulatory Authority, in which case NK shall provide immediately to Spectrum notice of such order; and (b) NK shall not submit any Regulatory Filings (except as necessary for the clinical Development in South Korea pursuant to Section 2.1(a)(ii)) or seek Regulatory Approvals for the Product in the Retained Territory.
     5.4 Notification of Threatened Action. Each Party shall immediately notify the other Party of any information it receives regarding any threatened or pending action, inspection or communication by or from any party, including, without limitation, a Regulatory Authority, which may affect the safety or efficacy claims of the Product or the continued marketing of the Product.

shall provide the other Party with rights to reference and use in association with the Product in the Field, all of its, its Affiliates’, and its or their licensees’ and sublicensees’ regulatory, preclinical and clinical data documentation, Regulatory Filings, and Regulatory Approvals with respect to the Product in the Field.
     5.6 Remedial Actions. Each Party will, and will ensure that its Affiliates and sublicensees will, notify the other Party immediately, and promptly confirm such notice in writing, if it obtains information indicating that the Product may be subject to any recall, corrective action or other regulatory action with respect to a Product taken by virtue of applicable Law in the NK Territory (a “Remedial Action”). The Parties (or NK’s sublicensees and Spectrum), as the case may be, will assist each other in gathering and evaluating such information as is necessary to determine the necessity of conducting a Remedial Action. NK shall, and shall ensure that its Affiliates and sublicensees will, maintain or have maintained adequate records to permit the Parties to trace the manufacture of the Product and the distribution and, to the extent feasible, the use of the Product. In the event NK or its any sublicensee determines that any Remedial Action with respect to the Product in the Field in the NK Territory should be commenced or Remedial Action is required by any Regulatory Authority having jurisdiction over the matter, NK will, and will ensure that its sublicensees will, as the case may be, control and coordinate all efforts necessary to conduct such Remedial Action. In the event Spectrum determines that any Remedial Action with respect to the Product outside the Field in the NK Territory should be commenced or Remedial Action is required by any Regulatory Authority having jurisdiction over the matter, Spectrum will control and coordinate all efforts necessary to conduct such Remedial Action. For clarity, as between the Parties, Spectrum shall have sole discretion with respect to any matters relating to any Remedial Action in the Retained Territory, except the Remedial Action relating to the manufacture of the Product for NK in the Retained Territory pursuant to Section 2.1(a)(i)(B) or the clinical Development by NK in South Korea pursuant to Section 2.1(a)(ii). The cost and expense of a Remedial Action arising from the development, manufacture or commercialization of the Product in the Field in the NK Territory shall be borne solely by NK or its sublicensees, unless, to the extent the Product subject to such Remedial Action is supplied by Spectrum to NK, such Remedial Action is caused by (i) such Product’s non-conformity to specifications at the time such Product is delivered by Spectrum to NK or any of its Affiliates or sublicensees or (ii) such Product’s manufacture not in compliance with applicable Laws including applicable Good Manufacturing Practice.
ARTICLE 6

ARTICLE 7
MANUFACTURING
     7.1 Overview. The Parties recognize that Spectrum manufactures the Products for the Retained Territory through certain Third Party contract manufacturer(s) as of the Effective Date and may engage other Third Party contract manufacturers after the Effective Date (collectively, the “Manufacturers”). The Parties agree that Spectrum assists NK with the manufacture and supply of the Product for use or sale by NK or its sublicensees in the NK Territory as follows:
          (a) Spectrum shall: (i) procure from Manufacturers and supply to NK all requirements (in accordance with standard forecast terms) of the Product, in the form used by Spectrum and its licensees in the Retained Territory at the time of such supply, for use by NK or its sublicensees in conducting its or their Development activities under the Development Plan in the NK Territory (including South Korea in case NK needs the Product for clinical Development pursuant to Section 2.1(a)(ii)); and (ii) procure from Manufacturers and supply to NK all requirements (in accordance with standard forecast terms) of either the Brite Stock or Kitted Product (each as defined below), pursuant to the Parties’ agreement as set forth below, for commercial sale by NK and its sublicensees for a period of [***] after the First Commercial Sale (the “Initial Supply Period”) in the NK Territory, and, subject to Section 7.1(c), for an additional [***] period after the Initial Supply Period. “Brite Stock” means all components of the Kitted Product, including the drug vials containing Apaziquone and the diluent vials, for incorporation into the final Kitted Product. “Kitted Product” means the Brite Stock that has been labeled and packaged in final form ready for sale. As soon as practicable after the Effective Date but in any event prior to the third (3rd) anniversary of the Effective Date, the Parties shall discuss in good faith and agree as to whether Spectrum will supply the Brite Stock or Kitted Product to NK under Section 7.1(a)(ii). If the Parties agree that Spectrum will supply NK with the Brite Stock, then NK or its sublicensees will be responsible for the labeling and packaging of the Brite Stock into Kitted Product for Development and commercial sale in the NK Territory, using such Brite Stock supplied by Spectrum. Spectrum shall supply Brite Stock or Kitted Product to NK under Section 7.1(a) above at [***] percent ([***]%) of Spectrum’s Cost of Goods Sold for such Products (i.e., if the Cost of Goods Sold is $100, NK shall pay Spectrum $[***]).
          (b) Notwithstanding Section 7.1(a) above, in the event the form or packaging of the Product used in the Development of the Product in the NK Territory or commercialized in the NK Territory is different from the form or packaging of the product used by Spectrum or its commercial partners in the Retained Territory, then Spectrum’s obligation to supply as set forth above shall apply only with respect to Apaziquone and the Parties shall discuss in good faith to allocate the responsibilities for the fill and finish of the Product in such alternative form or packaging. Spectrum will consult with NK as to the selection of packaging materials for the Product or materials used in the components of the Product and will take into consideration NK’s comments in such consultation. For clarity, for the purpose of this Section 7.1(b), so long as the

components of the Product are same, Brite Stock shall not be deemed to be different from Kitted Product and vice versa.
          (c) Notwithstanding the provisions of 7.1(a)(ii), in the event, at Spectrum’s reasonable determination, it is no longer practicable for Spectrum to continue to supply NK with commercial supply under Section 7.1(a)(ii) after the Initial Supply Period, (for reasons including, but not limited to, the termination of Spectrum’s agreement with a Manufacturer or Allergan’s assumption of manufacturing obligations outside of Asia), Spectrum shall inform NK in writing of its desire to cease such supply at the end of the Initial Supply Period (or anytime thereafter) at least eighteen (18) months prior to the end of the Initial Supply Period (or at least eighteen (18) months prior to such later time) and may cease the supply of the Product (Brite Stock or Kitted Product) at the end of the Initial Supply Period (or such later time). In such event, (1) Spectrum shall ensure that NK enters into direct supply agreement(s) with Spectrum’s then-current Manufacturer(s) for the supply of the same Brite Stock or Kitted Product for at least an additional [***] period after the Initial Supply Period on the terms and conditions similar to those which Spectrum used to be provided with during the Initial Supply Period, (2) Spectrum shall arrange the supply of such Product (Brite Stock or Kitted Product) from the then-current Manufacturer(s) to NK until such time NK has entered into such direct supply agreement(s) with such Manufacturers, so that NK and its sublicensees are able to continue to sell such Product in the NK Territory without interruption and (3) NK shall cooperate with Spectrum in such arrangements.
     7.2 Manufacturing Technology Disclosure. As soon as practicable after the Effective Date but no later than sixty (60) days after the Effective Date in any event, Spectrum shall make available and transfer copies to NK of the Spectrum Technology that are necessary or reasonably useful in the manufacture of Product and as of the Effective Date are being used by Spectrum or its Manufacturers to manufacture Product, as set forth in Exhibit G, including without limitation Drug Master File of the Product if applicable (the “Spectrum Manufacturing Know-How”). During the Term, Spectrum shall continue to provide information relating to the chemistry, manufacture and control of the Product, and NK shall promptly provide Spectrum with its feedback and/or comments to such information relating to the supply of Product for the NK Territory. During the Initial Supply Period, if NK desires to assume the responsibility to procure the Product for the NK Territory by itself, NK shall notify Spectrum in writing, and, upon Spectrum’s agreement, the Parties shall discuss in good faith with respect to an orderly transfer of such responsibility from Spectrum to NK.
     7.3 Manufacture of Product by Spectrum or its Manufacturer. Spectrum shall manufacture or procure the manufacture of the Product to be supplied to NK hereunder in accordance with applicable Good Manufacturing Practice, other applicable Laws and specifications of the Product agreed by the Parties. If Spectrum or its Manufacturers intend to make a change to (a) manufacturing site of the Product, (b) manufacturing process of the Product or (c) such specification, Spectrum shall promptly notify NK of such change and shall provide NK with all information and data obtained by any tests conducted by or on behalf of Spectrum in respect of any such proposed change for the purpose of NK or its sublicensees applying for an amendment to any Regulatory Approval of the Product in the NK Territory which is required

with respect to such change. Further, Spectrum shall provide NK with test samples manufactured at the proposed manufacturing site or in accordance with such proposed new process or proposed new specification for the purpose of NK or its sublicensees applying for such amendment. NK shall use commercially reasonable best efforts to complete the amendment process with the relevant Regulatory Authority as quickly as possible, and shall notify Spectrum immediately on receipt by NK of notification from the relevant Regulatory Authority that such amendment has been completed. Spectrum shall not supply any Product manufactured with such change until such time as NK or its sublicensees are notified by the Regulatory Authority that such amendment has been completed. Until such time as NK or its sublicensees are notified by the Regulatory Authority that such amendment has been completed, Spectrum shall use commercially reasonable best efforts to continue to supply NK with the Product manufactured at the current manufacturing site in accordance with the current process and specifications. Spectrum shall be responsible for and shall bear the costs for (as part of the Costs of Goods Sold) the delivery of the Product to airport(s) from where such Product will be exported to NK, where the title to such Product and the risk of loss and damage shall transfer to NK and NK shall bear the costs of the shipment of such Product thereafter (including the cost for air transportation).

For clarity, NK shall have the right to inspect facilities of Spectrum or its subcontractors where the Product is manufactured or stored for supply to NK and facilities of the manufacture and storage of Apaziquone which is used for the manufacture of the Product for NK Territory. All audits shall be without any undue disruption to the business and operations of the audited Party, and in the case of an inspection involving facilities of a subcontractor of Spectrum, consistent with the terms under the applicable agreement between Spectrum and such subcontractor, and the Allergan Agreement to the extent applicable. Any Third Parties conducting such audits shall enter into confidentiality agreements with the audited Party in a form suitable to the audited Party, and all information or reports gained by the auditing Party as a result of such audit shall be deemed Confidential Information of the audited Party. In the event of a disagreement between the Parties as to the outcome of a particular audit, an independent, mutually agreed upon arbiter shall be selected by the Parties to resolve the dispute.

NK shall use commercially reasonable efforts to deliver the foregoing report to Spectrum within thirty-five (35) days after the end of such calendar quarter, but in any event NK shall provide to Spectrum such report within forty-five (45) days after the end of such calendar quarter. If, despite commercially reasonable efforts, NK is unable to provide Spectrum with such report within the foregoing thirty-five (35) day period, NK shall provide Spectrum with a report containing reasonable estimates of the amounts described in subsections (i) through (iii) above by the end of such thirty-five (35) day period for Spectrum to comply with its quarterly reporting obligations. Within sixty (60) days after the end of each calendar quarter, NK shall remit to Spectrum any payment due for the applicable calendar quarter.

     8.6 Records; Audits. NK will, and will assure that its sublicensees will, maintain complete and accurate records in sufficient detail to permit Spectrum to confirm the accuracy of the calculation of royalty payments under this Agreement. Upon reasonable prior notice, such records shall be available during regular business hours for a period of three (3) years from the end of the calendar year to which they pertain for examination at the expense of Spectrum, and not more often than once each calendar year, by an independent certified public accountant selected by Spectrum and reasonably acceptable to NK or its sublicensees, for the sole purpose of verifying the accuracy of the financial reports furnished by NK pursuant to this Agreement. Any such auditor shall not disclose to Spectrum NK’s Confidential Information or sublicensees’ confidential information, except to the extent such disclosure is necessary to verify the accuracy of the financial reports furnished by NK or the amount of payments due by NK under this Agreement. Any amounts shown to be owed but unpaid shall be paid within [***] from the receipt by NK of the accountant’s report, plus interest (as set forth in Section 8.5) from the original due date. If such audit discloses an underpayment by NK of more than [***] percent ([***]%), then NK shall also pay to Spectrum a premium equal to [***] percent ([***]%) of such underpayment.

Consequently, NK shall submit to Spectrum the upfront fee under Section 8.1 above without any deduction or withholding. If, after the Effective Date, as a result of any modification to the applicable Laws, any payment required to be made by NK to Spectrum (other than the upfront fee under Section 8.1) is subject to a deduction of tax or withholding tax, NK may deduct such tax or withholding tax.
          (c) Tax Cooperation. The Parties agree to cooperate with one another and use reasonable efforts to reduce or eliminate tax withholding or similar obligations in respect of royalties, milestone payments, and other payments made by NK to Spectrum under this Agreement. To the extent NK is required to deduct and withhold taxes on any payment to Spectrum, NK shall pay the amounts of such taxes to the proper Governmental Authority in a timely manner and promptly transmit to Spectrum an official tax certificate or other evidence of such withholding sufficient to enable Spectrum to claim such payment of taxes. Spectrum shall provide NK any tax forms that may be reasonably necessary in order for NK to not withhold tax

          (a) A Party may disclose this Agreement and its terms in securities filings with the Securities Exchange Commission or other regulatory agency (“SEC”) (or equivalent foreign agency) to the extent required by law after complying with the procedure set forth in this Section 12.4.

36.


 

request within the time lines proscribed by applicable SEC regulations or equivalent foreign agency regulations. The Party seeking such disclosure shall exercise Commercially Reasonable Efforts to obtain confidential treatment of this Agreement from the SEC or equivalent foreign agency as represented by the redacted version reviewed by the other Party.
          (b) Further, each Party acknowledges that the other Party may be legally required to make public disclosures (including in filings with the SEC or other agency) of certain material developments or material information generated under this Agreement and agrees that each Party may make such disclosures as required by law, provided that the Party seeking such disclosure first provides the other Party a copy of the proposed disclosure, and provided further that (except to the extent that the Party seeking disclosure is required to disclose such information to comply with applicable laws or regulations) if the other Party demonstrates to the reasonable satisfaction of the Party seeking disclosure, within three (3) business days of such Party’s providing the copy, that the public disclosure of previously undisclosed information will materially adversely affect the development and/or commercialization of a Product being developed and/or commercialized, the Party seeking disclosure will remove from the disclosure such specific previously undisclosed information as the other Party shall reasonably request to be removed.

SPECTRUM PHARMACEUTICALS AND NIPPON KAYAKU ENTER COLLABORATION
AGREEMENT FOR APAZIQUONE IN ASIAN TERRITORIES
    Total Potential Value Of Collaboration Exceeds $151 Million
 
    Spectrum to Receive an Upfront Payment of $15 Million, up to $136 Million in Milestones, and Royalties
 
    Nippon Kayaku Responsible for 100% of Development and Commercial Expenses
 
    Spectrum Retains Commercial Rights to South Korea
IRVINE, California — November 10, 2009 —Spectrum Pharmaceuticals, Inc. (NasdaqGM: SPPI), a commercial stage biotechnology company with a primary focus in oncology, and Nippon Kayaku today announced an exclusive collaboration for the development and commercialization of apaziquone in Asia. Apaziquone is an antineoplastic agent currently being investigated for the treatment of non-muscle invasive bladder cancer by intravesical instillation. Spectrum Pharmaceuticals has previously entered into a strategic collaboration with Allergan, Inc. (NYSE: AGN) for North America, Europe, and other key markets. These two collaborations are representative of the Company’s stated objective of achieving solid strategic partnerships that are aimed at fully exploiting developmental goals for apaziquone on a worldwide basis.
“We are excited to partner apaziquone with a strong Japanese oncology company such as Nippon Kayaku,” said Rajesh C. Shrotriya, Chairman of the Board and Chief Executive Officer of Spectrum Pharmaceuticals, Inc. “Nippon Kayaku is one of the most established and reputable pharmaceutical companies in Japan and has unparalleled experience in Asia in the field of non-muscle invasive bladder cancer and prostate cancer. We believe that Nippon Kayaku is a terrific strategic partner for apaziquone and for Spectrum.”
“Apaziquone is an ideal candidate to complement our portfolio of 24 anti-cancer products,” said Akira Mandai, Head of Pharmaceuticals Group of Nippon Kayaku. “We look forward to working with Spectrum in developing apaziquone for non-muscle invasive bladder cancer.”
Under the terms of the agreement, Nippon Kayaku will pay Spectrum an upfront payment of $15 million and will make additional payments of up to $136 million based on the achievement of certain regulatory and commercialization milestones. Nippon Kayaku received exclusive rights to apaziquone for the treatment of non-muscle invasive bladder cancer in Asia, including Japan and China but excluding South Korea. Nippon Kayaku will conduct the apaziquone clinical trials

53.


 

pursuant to a development plan. Nippon Kayaku will be responsible for all expenses relating to the development and commercialization of apaziquone in the Nippon Kayaku territory.
Spectrum is currently conducting two Phase 3 clinical trials to investigate apaziquone’s safety and efficacy in non-muscle invasive bladder cancer. Spectrum’s goal is to complete enrollment in both Phase 3 studies by year-end 2009.
About Non-Muscle Invasive Bladder Cancer
Non-muscle invasive bladder cancer is a form of bladder cancer localized in the surface layers of the bladder and is commonly treated with intravesical therapies. Approximately 70% of all patients newly diagnosed with bladder cancer have non-muscle invasive bladder cancer.1 More than one million patients in the United States, Europe and Japan are estimated to be affected by the disease, which is treated predominantly by urologists.2
About Apaziquone
Apaziquone is a drug currently being investigated for the treatment of non-muscle invasive bladder cancer. Apaziquone, an anti-cancer agent that becomes activated by reductase enzymes found in cancer cells, is formulated for administration directly into the urinary bladder. Phase 2 data has confirmed anti-tumor activity in patients with multiple, recurrent non-muscle invasive bladder cancer, as evidenced by 31 of 46 patients (67%) showing a complete response after receiving six weekly treatments with 4 mg of apaziquone instilled into the urinary bladder in a marker lesion study. In another Phase 2 study, apaziquone instilled into the bladder following surgery was well tolerated and was not absorbed in any detectable amount from the bladder wall into the bloodstream and therefore, is expected to carry a low risk of systemic toxicity, if any.
The apaziquone registration plan, which the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) concurred with under a Special Protocol Assessment, calls for two double blind, placebo-controlled, randomized Phase 3 clinical studies, each with 562 patients with Ta G1 or G2 low risk non-invasive bladder cancer. Patients are randomized in a one-to-one ratio to apaziquone or placebo. Under the protocol, the patients are given a single 4 mg dose following surgical removal of the tumors. The primary endpoint is a statistically significant difference (p<0.05) in the rate of tumor recurrence between the two treatment groups by year two. The FDA has granted Fast Track Designation for the investigation of apaziquone for the treatment of non-muscle invasive bladder cancer. Spectrum also received scientific advice from the European Medicines Agency (EMEA) whereby the EMEA agreed that the two Phase 3 studies as designed should be sufficient for a regulatory decision regarding European registration.
