Item 8.01Other Events.

 

On March 16, 2021, the Company disclosed an update related to its ongoing Phase I clinical trial of BT5528. The Company had previously reported that, in such trial, it observed a urothelial cancer patient to have a 43% reduction in target lesions at the first radiologic response assessment, which was conducted two months after treatment initiation, constituting a partial response under RECIST version 1.1 criteria. In a subsequent radiologic response assessment, conducted four months after treatment initiation, the patient was observed to have a 61% reduction in target lesions from baseline, which continues to constitute a partial response under RECIST version 1.1 criteria, and remains on therapy. In addition, the Company has disclosed that an ovarian cancer patient in the trial, enrolled prior to implementation of the EphA2 assay and previously reported to have completed eight cycles of BT5528 with a 25% reduction in target lesions, constituting stable disease, is now in the eleventh cycle and has reported symptomatic disease potentially related to disease progression but remains on study.
