Sierra Oncology Updates Topline Data Timing for Pivotal Phase 3 Trial of Momelotinib in Myelofibrosis
—Company now anticipates MOMENTUM topline data readout by the end of January 2022—
SAN MATEO, Calif.--(BUSINESS WIRE)-- Sierra Oncology, Inc. (NASDAQ: SRRA), a late-stage biopharmaceutical company dedicated to delivering targeted therapies for rare cancers, today announced it has shortened the timeline to the topline data readout of the MOMENTUM pivotal Phase 3 trial of momelotinib in patients with myelofibrosis. The company now expects to announce topline data by the end of January 2022. Assuming positive results, the company intends to file a New Drug Application (NDA) with the US Food & Drug Administration (FDA) in the second quarter of 2022.
“We are really excited at the prospect of seeing topline results from the MOMENTUM study earlier than predicted. This is enabled by the excellent work of the team who have worked extremely hard over recent weeks to ensure quality and completeness of the study data,” said Stephen Dilly, MBBS, PhD, President and Chief Executive Officer at Sierra Oncology. “We look forward to sharing topline results in the next few weeks, and if those data are positive, we are committed to delivering this potential medicine for myelofibrosis patients, particularly those with anemia, as expeditiously as possible.”
