Recent Events

• In January 2017, Achieve Life Science, Inc. (Achieve) and OncoGenex announced they entered into a definitive merger agreement.

• In February 2017, OncoGenex announced that apatorsen results from two randomized Phase 2 clinical trials were presented at the American Society of Clinical Oncology (ASCO) (Free ASCO Whitepaper) 2017 Genitourinary Cancers Symposium, held February 16th- 18th in Orlando. Clinical data from trials in bladder and prostate cancers demonstrated apatorsen was well-tolerated and improved patient outcomes when administered in combination with standard-of-care treatments.

• In March 2017, Achieve announced a strategic collaboration with the National Center for Complementary and Integrative Health (NCCIH) at the National Institutes of Health (NIH) to conduct non-clinical studies in support of an overall clinical development plan for cytisine as a smoking cessation treatment. As part of the collaboration, Achieve is providing cytisine to the NIH to conduct a series of non-clinical studies required by the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) to support the submission of an Investigational New Drug (IND) application. The collaboration commenced in March 2015 and results of the studies are expected in the second-quarter of 2017.

• In March 2017, the Society for Research in Nicotine and Tobacco (SRNT) held a symposium on cytisine research at its annual conference held in Florence, Italy. The symposium was chaired by Professor Nancy Rigotti, MD, Massachusetts General Hospital/Harvard Medical School, with presentations from Associate Professor Natalie Walker, PhD, National Institute for Health Innovation, University of Auckland, on "Cytisine versus Varenicline for Smoking Cessation: Two Clinical Trials from the Australasian Cytisine Trialist Group," and "The Challenge to Getting Cytisine Licensed For Use Worldwide: Policy Considerations." Dr. Walker was the principal investigator of the 1,310 patient phase 3 CASCAID trial published in the New England Journal of Medicine in December, 2014 titled "Cytisine versus Nicotine for Smoking Cessation".
