CTI BioPharma reports Q3 EPS (17c), consensus (23c)Reports Q3 revenue $2.29M. Reports Q3 operating loss $9.7M. The company commented, "We advanced our pacritinib development program in the third quarter, and recently took an important step forward for the company by initiating and enrolling the first patient in the PACIFICA trial, our pivotal Phase 3 trial of pacritinib in myelofibrosis patients with severe thrombocytopenia. An estimated one-third of patients with myelofibrosis are severely thrombocytopenic - a population with limited therapeutic options and poor survival, thereby making this disease setting a very important area of unmet medical need. In the near-term, we look forward to presenting results from the PAC203 Phase 2 trial at a scientific conference before the end of the year." |
