About I/ONTAK (E7777)I/ONTAK (E7777) is a recombinant fusion protein that combines the interleukin-2 (IL-2) receptor binding domain with diphtheria toxin fragments. The agent specifically binds to IL-2 receptors on the cell surface, causing diphtheria toxin fragments that have entered cells to inhibit protein synthesis. I/ONTAK, a purified version of denileukin diftitox, is a reformulation of previously FDA-approved oncology treatment ONTAK. ONTAK was marketed in the U.S. from 2008 to 2014, when it was voluntarily withdrawn from the market to enable manufacturing improvements. These improvements resulted in I/ONTAK, which maintains the same amino acid sequence but features improved purity and bioactivity. I/ONTAK has received regulatory approval in Japan for the treatment of cutaneous T-cell lymphoma (CTCL) and peripheral T-cell lymphoma (PTCL). In 2011 and 2013, the FDA granted orphan drug designation (ODD) to I/ONTAK for the treatment of PTCL and CTCL, respectively, making it eligible for seven years of market exclusivity post-approval.
Story continues
A global, multicenter, open-label, single-arm Pivotal study of I/ONTAK in participants with recurrent or persistent CTCL (NCT01871727) is underway. The last patient has been recruited; top line results are anticipated in the first half of 2022. A BLA for I/ONTAK is expected to be filed with the FDA by the end of 2022.
