  • The UAE authorization further expands ANKTIVA’s global regulatory footprint to 34 countries. The BCG-unresponsive non-muscle invasive bladder cancer (NMIBC) authorization is the first worldwide to span the full spectrum of BCG-unresponsive disease: carcinoma in situ (CIS) with or without papillary tumors, and papillary disease alone without CIS.
  • The Emirates Drug Establishment (EDE) of the United Arab Emirates (UAE) granted Marketing Authorization for two ANKTIVA presentations, the broadest approval to date for ANKTIVA including papillary disease and CIS in non-muscle invasive bladder cancer and non-small cell lung cancer in patients who failed checkpoint inhibitors and chemotherapy.
  • Each approval covers a distinct indication: ANKTIVA 0.4 mg/0.4 mL (solution for intravesical instillation) in combination with Bacillus Calmette-Guérin (BCG) for BCG-unresponsive NMIBC, and ANKTIVA 1.2 mg/0.6 mL (solution for subcutaneous injection) in combination with immune checkpoint inhibitors for metastatic non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC).
  • NMIBC evidence (QUILT-3.032): in the CIS cohort (N=100), ANKTIVA plus BCG produced a complete response rate of 71% (95% CI: 61,80), with duration of complete response extending beyond 54 months; in the papillary-only cohort (N=80), 12-month disease-free survival rate was 58.2% (95% CI: 46.6, 68.2), with a cystectomy free rate at 36-months of 83%.
  • In the NSCLC indication, ANKTIVA plus a checkpoint inhibitor is authorized for adult patients with metastatic disease that progressed on or after standard of care including checkpoint failure. NSCLC evidence (QUILT-3.055): in checkpoint-refractory advanced NSCLC (N=79), median overall survival was 14.6 months (95% CI: 12.0, 19.5), with subjects of mean on-treatment ALC ≥ 1,000 achieving of median OS of 16.2 months (95% CI: 13.8, 22.0).
