MorphoSys (NASDAQ:MOR) stock is falling hard on Tuesday after the company released data from a Phase 3 clinical trial of pelabresib.
The study evaluated pelabresib as a treatment for myelofibrosis in combination with ruxolitinib. It included patients treated with these two drugs as well as a placebo arm just treated with ruxolitinib.
The results from the clinical trial saw pelabresib meet its primary endpoint. There was also statistical significance observed for its secondary endpoints and no additional adverse effects showed up during the study.
Considering this clinical trial data, MorphoSys is planning to submit a New Drug Application for pelabresib to the Food and Drug Administration (FDA). It will also submit a Marketing Authorization Application to the European Medicines Agency. Both of these submissions will take place in mid-2024.
