SOHM, Inc. Subsidiary Daiichi Sankyo Group Files Its Acute Myeloid Leukemia (AML) Treatment Quizartinib in the US; the FDA Awarded Breakthrough Status for The Drug

Chino Hills, CA, Aug. 09, 2018 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- SOHM, Inc. (PINKSHEETS: SHMN), a globally-known generic pharmaceutical manufacturer, announced that its subsidiary Daiichi Sankyo Group filed its acute myeloid leukemia (AML) treatment Quizartinib in the US; the FDA awarded breakthrough status for the drug.

Results from the pivotal QuANTUM-R study were presented at the European Heart Association (EHA) meeting in June, and showed patients treated with the FLT3 inhibitor reached a median overall survival of 6.2 months, compared to 4.7 months for patients treated with salvage chemotherapy. After a year, survival was 26% with Daiichi Sankyo’s drug and 20% in the placebo group. The data suggest that Quizartinib could have an advantage over the only other approved treatment in the same class, Novartis’ Rydapt (midostaurin), which was approved in Europe last year, and puts the Japanese company on course to get a return on its $410m acquisition of the drug’s originator Ambit Biosciences in 2014. 

SOHM, Inc. continues to work and expand. The Company is focused on sales and bringing value to its loyal stakeholders. The company’s legal team is continuing to work with the OTC Markets to fulfill all necessary documentation to remove our Stop sign and become fully current.
