Additional SRA737 Trials and Development Activities
In order to obtain regulatory approval and potentially commercialize SRA737, we will need to complete the clinical trials described above and then conduct registration-oriented Phase 2 and possibly Phase 3 clinical trials in well-defined, tissue-specific, or possibly genetically-specific, patient populations in order to thoroughly and robustly evaluate the safety and efficacy of SRA737.
We anticipate including U.S. clinical trial sites in the subsequent development of SRA737 and, as appropriate, we intend to submit an IND to the FDA.
If the efficacy data obtained in some or all of the subsequent Phase 2 clinical trials are highly compelling, we plan to discuss accelerated registration paths and other regulatory designations with regulatory agencies. In order to obtain marketing approval to commercialize SRA737, a New Drug Application (NDA) must be submitted to, and approved by, the FDA in the United States, and a marketing authorization application must be submitted to and approved by the European Medicines Agency (EMA). Moreover, when a diagnostic device, such as a device used to identify subsets of patients with a genetic alteration who may derive meaningful benefit from a product, is essential to the safe and effective use of a therapeutic product, the FDA and other regulatory authorities generally require that the companion diagnostic be approved before or concurrent with approval of the therapeutic product and before the therapeutic product can be commercialized. Commensurate with global regulatory submissions, we will need to validate processes at large scale manufacturing facilities in advance of pre-approval inspections, marketing authorizations and product launch.
