HENDERSON, Nev.--(BUSINESS WIRE)-- Spectrum Pharmaceuticals, Inc. (NasdaqGS: SPPI), a biotechnology company with fully integrated commercial and drug development operations with a primary focus in Hematology and Oncology announced that the earnings conference call for the third quarter 2016 will not take place to allow for more time to finalize financial results. The Company is re-examining the accounting treatment of the 2013 acquisition of the rights to CE Melphalan from Ligand Pharmaceuticals. This re-examination is not expected to impact reported revenue or cash balance for this or prior periods. The Company plans to release full financial results as soon as possible.

Pipeline Update:

• ROLONTIS (eflapegrastim), a novel long-acting GCSF: A pivotal non-inferiority Phase 3 study was initiated under a Special Protocol Assessment (SPA) from the FDA in 2016 to evaluate ROLONTIS in the management of chemotherapy-induced neutropenia in patients with breast cancer. The Company is initiating an additional Phase 3 study to enroll patients primarily in Europe. The Company is actively enrolling breast cancer patients in the current trial and expects to file a BLA in 2018. The Phase 2 data demonstrated that ROLONTIS was non-inferior to pegfilgrastim at the middle dose tested, and statistically superior in terms of duration of severe neutropenia at the highest dose tested. ROLONTIS was also shown to have an acceptable safety profile with no significant dose-related or unexpected toxicities.
• Poziotinib, a potential best-in-class, novel, pan-HER inhibitor: Spectrum is continuing to enroll a Phase 2 breast cancer trial in the U.S., based on promising Phase 1 efficacy data in breast cancer patients who had failed multiple other HER2-directed therapies. In addition, multiple Phase 2 studies are being conducted in South Korea by Hanmi Pharmaceuticals and National OncoVenture.
