ALX Oncology Holdings Inc. (Nasdaq: ALXO) announced that its next-generation CD47 blocker, evorpacept, has received orphan drug designation (ODD) from the European Commission for treating gastric cancer patients. This designation covers both gastric cancer and gastroesophageal junction adenocarcinoma. The U.S. FDA had previously granted ODD to evorpacept for the same indication in January 2022.
Dr. Sophia Randolph, Chief Medical Officer at ALX Oncology, highlighted the significance of this regulatory achievement and the growing recognition of evorpacept's potential in improving clinical outcomes for gastric cancer patients. The company plans to present data from ASPEN-06, a randomized Phase 2 trial of evorpacept in combination with other drugs for HER2-positive gastric cancer, in the second half of 2023.
The EC grants orphan drug designation to medicines treating rare conditions affecting no more than five in 10,000 people in the EU. This status provides financial and regulatory incentives, including ten years of market exclusivity if approved for marketing.
