Item 7.01. Regulation FD.
The company’s press release announcing a change in the timeline of initiation of the clinical trial of its lead drug candidate, PT00114, is furnished hereto as Exhibit 99.1.
The information in this Form 8-K (including the Exhibit) shall not be deemed “filed” for purposes of Section 18 of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 (the “Exchange Act”) or otherwise subject to the liabilities of that section, nor shall it be deemed incorporated by reference in any filing under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, or the Exchange Act, except as expressly set forth by specific referenced in such a filing.
Item 8.01. Other Events.
Upon review of the company’s investigational new drug (IND) application filed on June 29, 2021, the U.S. Food and Drug Administration has requested that the company provide clinical sites with ready-to-inject clinical vials rather than providing site pharmacies with the drug substance to be formulated locally. The company is immediately implementing this required change. As a result of this development, the company expects to refile its IND and commence patient enrollment in the fourth quarter of 2021.
Item 9.01. Financial Statements and Exhibits.
