(NASDAQ: CTXR) is a late-stage biopharmaceutical company dedicated to the development and commercialization of first-in-class critical care products, with a focus on oncology, anti-infectives in adjunct cancer care, unique prescription products, and stem cell therapies.

Citius Pharmaceuticals, Inc. (NASDAQ: CTXR) is leading the way in Pharmaceutical Advancements for Oncology, Anti-Infectives in Adjunct Cancer Care, Unique Prescription Products and Stem Cell Therapies. 

Below are some key points:

– Two Late-Stage Product Candidates Progressing to Phase 3 Clinical Trials.

– Mino-Lok(R) Granted Fast Track Designation by the U.S. FDA. 

– I/ONTAK Received Orphan Drug Designation by the U.S. FDA. 

– Developing a Novel Proprietary Mesenchymal Stem Cell Treatment for Acute Respiratory Conditions with Near-Term Focus on Acute Respiratory Distress Syndrome Associated with COVID-19.

– First Patient Enrolled in Phase 2b Study of Halo-Lido for Prescription Treatment of Hemorrhoids. 

– Bio-Pharma Industry Veteran Management Realignment to Support Commercialization of Late-Stage Product Candidates. 

 

Citius Pharmaceuticals, Inc. (NASDAQ: CTXR) Recent Highlights and Upcoming Milestones :

– Citius anticipates filing a biologics license application (BLA) for I/ONTAK® with the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) in the second half of 2022;

– Topline data from the Phase 3 study of cancer immunotherapy I/ONTAK are consistent with the previously-approved formulation of denileukin diftitox (ONTAK), and there are no new safety signals;

– Halo-Lido Phase 2b trial initiated in April 2022 with last patient enrollment anticipated by the end of 2022;

– Phase 3 Mino-Lok® trial proceeding without modification as recommended by the independent data monitoring committee (DMC) following all three DMC reviews;

– Mino-Lok Phase 3 trial completion anticipated by end of 2022; and,

– Pre-clinical development ongoing for Citius’ Mino-Wrap and induced mesenchymal stem cell programs.

“2022 is a year of important catalysts for Citius as we continue to make progress on multiple fronts. We recently released topline results for I/ONTAK which were consistent with the prior FDA-approved and marketed formulation of denileukin diftitox (ONTAK). In preparation for a planned BLA submission in the second half of 2022, we are marshalling the necessary manufacturing and commercial resources to support the application, and ultimately a successful launch,” stated Leonard Mazur, Chairman and CEO of Citius.

“Our Mino-Lok program continues to advance in accordance with the recommendations of the independent data monitoring committee, which advised us to continue with the trial as planned, following each of its three data reviews. We remain encouraged by the positive signal conveyed by the DMC guidance to proceed. Coupled with the recent ramp up in patient recruitment following an easing of COVID-related hospital restrictions, we believe our efforts to increase engagement with existing trial sites and to onboard additional sites will continue to drive trial enrollment and enable us to achieve the necessary trial events to support statistically significant results,” added Mazur.

“In April, we initiated our Phase 2b Halo-Lido trial for the treatment of hemorrhoids. By the end of 2022, we expect to complete trial enrollment. A data readout will follow upon validation and analysis of the information provided in the electronic patient reported outcome tool (ePRO) designed with guidance from the FDA. The results will be used to design the Phase 3 trial. As this product would ultimately be marketed directly to consumers, rather than to targeted physician and hospital groups like our other pipeline candidates, we will evaluate alternatives to optimize the value of this asset as we advance the program. Citius considers all strategic alternatives to maximize the value of our portfolio, individually and collectively, on an ongoing basis. We believe we remain well capitalized to advance our programs through multiple catalysts this year, and we plan to continue building long-term value in the business by focusing on execution,” concluded Mr. Mazur.

 

2022 Achieved and Anticipated Catalysts :

– Report Topline results of I/ONTAK Phase 3 trial (April 2022)

– Initiate Halo-Lido Phase 2b trial (April 2022)
