Gilead Sciences, Inc. Analyst Notes
On June 27, 2014, Gilead Sciences, Inc. (Gilead) announced that it has submitted a New Drug Application (NDA) to Japan's Pharmaceutical and Medical Devices Agency (PMDA) for approval of sofosbuvir, a once-daily nucleotide analog polymerase inhibitor for the treatment of chronic hepatitis C virus (HCV) infection. The data in the NDA support the use of sofosbuvir with ribavirin (RBV) for 12 weeks in patients with genotype 2 HCV infection. "There is an urgent need in Japan for new HCV treatment options that are more effective, well-tolerated and simpler for patients," said Norbert Bischofberger, PhD, Executive Vice President of Research and Development and Chief Scientific Officer at Gilead. "Based on Phase 3 studies, we believe that sofosbuvir has the potential to provide high cure rates among genotype 2 patients in just 12 weeks of interferon-free therapy."

Amgen, Inc. Analyst Notes
On July 1, 2014, Amgen, Inc. (Amgen) announced that the FDA has granted Breakthrough Therapy Designation to the Company's investigational bispecific T cell engager (BiTE) antibody blinatumomab. The Company informed that FDA's Breakthrough Therapy Designation was based on the results of a Phase 2 trial of 189 adult patients with Philadelphia-negative (Ph-) relapsed/refractory B-precursor acute lymphoblastic leukemia (ALL) treated with blinatumomab. "There is a high unmet need for new medicines to treat relapsed and refractory ALL patients, who have very few treatment options," said Sean E. Harper, M.D., Executive Vice President of Research and Development at Amgen. "The results from the Phase 2 trial evaluating blinatumomab in adult patients with relapsed or refractory ALL are encouraging and provide a strong basis for a regulatory filing later this year and potential approval in this serious disease."
