The recommendation will be referred to the European Commission (EC), for receiving marketing authorization of ZEJULA in the European Union. Once approved by the EC, ZEJULA would be the first oral, once-daily poly (ADP-ribose) polymerase (PARP) 1/2 inhibitor approved in Europe for use in patients regardless of BRCA mutation or biomarker status.

ZEJULA's NOVA Trial, Phase-3 Study

  • The marketing authorization application is supported by data from the ENGOT-OV16/NOVA trial, an international Phase-3 study of ZEJULA.
  • The study enrolled 553 patients with recurrent ovarian cancer who had achieved either a PR or CR to their most recent platinum-based chemotherapy. Two-thirds of study participants did not have germline BRCA mutations.
  • Results indicated that ZEJULA significantly increased progression-free survival (PFS) in patients with and without germline BRCA mutations compared to the control arm.
  • It was also found that treatment with ZEJULA reduced the risk of the disease progression or death by 73% in patients with germline BRCA mutations and by 55% in patients without germline BRCA mutations, with similar magnitude of benefit for patients entering the trial with a PR or a CR.
  • The most common adverse reactions to ZEJULA included thrombocytopenia, anemia, neutropenia, and hypertension. The majority of hematologic adverse events were successfully managed via dose modification.

Phase-3 NOVA Trial Generated Unsurpassed Efficacy Results in Patients with Recurrent Ovarian Cancer

Mary Lynne Hedley, Ph.D., President and COO of TESARO, stated that ZEJULA was studied with the highest level of clinical rigor, and the Phase-3 NOVA trial generated unsurpassed efficacy results in patients with recurrent ovarian cancer, including women without germline BRCA mutations who have the most challenging prognosis and few treatment options. She added that the positive CHMP opinion brings TESARO one step closer to providing important new medicine to patients with recurrent ovarian cancer in Europe.

TESARO to Launch ZEJULA across Multiple Countries in Europe

Orlando Oliveira, Senior Vice President and General Manager of TESARO International, stated that the Company is rapidly globalizing its mission of providing transformative oncology therapies to those who need them most. Upon final approval by the EC, the Company intends to launch ZEJULA across multiple countries in Europe where it already has an established, direct presence, beginning in the fourth quarter.

ZEJULA Received FDA Approval in March 2017

News release suggests that on March 27, 2017, TESARO received approval from FDA for ZEJULA, becoming the first PARP inhibitor to be approved by the FDA that did not require BRCA mutation or another biomarker testing. On April 19, 2017, TESARO announced the availability of ZEJULA by prescription in the United States.
