“The second quarter of 2016 was an exciting time for TESARO, marked by the availability of positive clinical results from our NOVA trial of niraparib. These results are the first and only Phase 3 data for a PARP inhibitor in a population of patients with platinum-sensitive, recurrent ovarian cancer,” said Lonnie Moulder, CEO of TESARO. “Looking ahead, we intend to leverage these landmark data to enhance our ongoing ovarian cancer trials and expand the overall development strategy for niraparib. We are globalizing our mission of delivering transformative cancer therapies to patients, and are now expanding our commercial footprint in Europe to support planned launches of oral rolapitant and niraparib next year. Finally, our immuno-oncology portfolio continues to rapidly advance, and our antibody candidates targeting TIM-3 and PD-1 are now in Phase 1 studies.”
