Spectrum Pharmaceuticals, a commercial-stage biotechnology company that primarily focuses on oncology and hematology, has released its strongest financial standing ever, as of June 30, 2011.
“We are extremely pleased with our third consecutive profitable quarter, strong cash flow, and record revenues,” said Rajesh C. Shrotriya, MD, Chairman, Chief Executive Officer, and President of Spectrum Pharmaceuticals. “The robust sales of FUSILEV and ZEVALIN in the second quarter demonstrate the significant and sustained recognition by physicians of the therapeutic value of these products. The FDA approval of FUSILEV on April 29th was a highly transformational event for Spectrum Pharmaceuticals. We are now able to promote FUSILEV and meet the pressing needs of tens of thousands of colorectal cancer patients. As you may know, during the second quarter, we were unable to fully meet the demand for FUSILEV, until we secured FDA approval of additional supply sources. As we announced on June 21st, Spectrum now has ample supplies of FUSILEV to meet patient needs. Regarding ZEVALIN, which we believe is the most effective single-agent for the treatment of follicular non-Hodgkin’s lymphoma, we continue to work with the FDA regarding the removal of the bioscan requirement. Looking forward, we are currently on track to file two New Drug Applications in 2012 for apaziquone and belinostat. We believe these two novel drugs have great potential in the treatment of bladder cancer and Peripheral T-Cell Lymphoma, respectively.”
