“The recent FDA approval and U.S. launch of ZEJULA represents a significant advancement for patients with recurrent ovarian cancer and marked a key milestone for the Company,” said Lonnie Moulder, chief executive officer of TESARO. “TESARO is committed to supporting people bravely facing cancer, and we are very gratified by the early positive feedback we have received from physicians and patients as they begin to utilize ZEJULA. The unprecedented results of the NOVA trial support our view of ZEJULA as the foundation of a broad franchise opportunity with potential applications across a variety of tumor types, as both a monotherapy and in combination, and we will be advancing multiple new clinical trials of niraparib in metastatic ovarian, breast and lung cancers. Following the recent approval of VARUBY by the European Commission, we are preparing to globalize our mission and bring this important product to patients in Europe beginning in June. Our immuno-oncology programs continue to rapidly advance, and we look forward to reporting initial data from our trials this year.”
