GlaxoSmithKline PLC Research Reports
On July 31, 2014, GlaxoSmithKline PLC (GSK) and Genmab A/S announced that an Independent Data Monitoring Committee (IDMC) interim analysis of a Phase III study, PROLONG (OMB 112517), reached the predefined significance level for efficacy (p≤0.001). According to the Companies, the interim analysis demonstrated that treatment with ofatumumab (Arzerra™) met the primary endpoint of improving progression free survival (PFS). The study evaluated ofatumumab maintenance therapy versus no further treatment (observation) in patients with relapsed chronic lymphocytic leukaemia (CLL) who responded to treatment at relapse. Dr. Rafael Amado, Head of Oncology R&D, GSK said, "This interim result from the PROLONG study demonstrated that maintenance therapy with ofatumumab lowered the risk of disease progression in patients who responded to treatment at relapse. We look forward to sharing the results of the interim analysis with regulatory agencies to evaluate the potential for future regulatory filings."

Amicus Therapeutics, Inc. Research Reports
On August 20, 2014, Amicus Therapeutics, Inc.'s (Amicus) stock zoomed 20.35%, on record high trading volumes, to end the trading session at $5.50, after the Company announced positive 18-month data from its second Phase 3 study (Study 012) of the oral small molecule chaperone migalastat HCl ("migalastat") in Fabry patients with amenable mutations. According to the Company, study 012 compared oral migalastat to standard-of-care enzyme replacement therapies (ERTs) for Fabry disease (Fabrazyme® and Replagal®). John F. Crowley, Chairman and CEO of Amicus Therapeutics, Inc., stated, "We believe that this multi-year study unequivocally demonstrates that a Fabry patient on ERT with an amenable mutation can switch safely and effectively from ERT to migalastat to treat their Fabry disease," He continued, "This study was resoundingly positive and met our pre-defined criteria for success in terms of the co-primary endpoints of kidney function. These results clearly show that migalastat is comparable to ERT in slowing the progression of Fabry disease and continues to demonstrate a favorable safety profile."
