Apollomics (APLM) shares were down more than 13% in recent Friday trading after the company said it will terminate its phase 3 study in relapsed or refractory acute myeloid leukemia, which "did not demonstrate favorable benefit for uproleselan."
Chief Executive Guo-Liang Yu said the results were expected because a global phase 3 trial conducted by its partner Glycomimetics in a similar patient group earlier this year failed to meet its primary goal.
"Our regulatory and commercial strategy in China has always required a positive global phase 3 trial, and therefore we are currently wrapping up this program," Apollomics Chief Executive Guo-Liang Yu said.
The company said it expects future uproleselan program costs to be under $500,000.
