Fast Track Designation from the FDA for Tamibarotene for the Treatment of Newly Diagnosed Unfit AML with RARA gene overexpression
“We are pleased to receive Fast Track designation for tamibarotene for the treatment of AML. This designation reflects the tremendous need for a safe and effective therapy, which can improve the clinical outcomes and prognosis among people diagnosed with AML, many of whom cannot tolerate intensive treatment,” said David A. Roth, M.D., Chief Medical Officer of Syros Pharmaceuticals. “We are particularly encouraged to secure Fast Track designation following initial randomized data from a prespecified interim analysis of our ongoing SELECT-AML-1 clinical trial, in which treatment with our RARα agonist, tamibarotene, in combination with venetoclax and azacitidine resulted in a 100% CR/CRi rate compared with a 70% CR/CRi rate for the comparator of venetoclax and azacitidine. Additionally, tamibarotene in combination with venetoclax and azacitidine demonstrated no added toxicity relative to venetoclax and azacitidine alone. We look forward to sharing additional data from SELECT-AML-1 later this year, and to potentially accelerate the delivery of tamibarotene as a new frontline option for the approximately 30% of AML patients who are positive for RARA overexpression.”
