National Comprehensive Cancer Network(R) Adds Monjuvi(R) (tafasitamab-cxix) to its Clinical Practice Guidelines in Oncology for B-cell Lymphomas

PLANEGG/MUNICH, GERMANY and WILMINGTON, DE / ACCESSWIRE / August 18, 2020 / MorphoSys AG (FSE:MOR; Prime Standard Segment; MDAX & TecDAX; NASDAQ:MOR) and Incyte (Nasdaq:INCY) today announced that Monjuvi® (tafasitamab-cxix), a humanized Fc-modified cytolytic CD19 targeting monoclonal antibody, has been included in the latest National Comprehensive Cancer Network® Clinical Practice Guidelines (NCCN Guidelines®) in Oncology for B-cell Lymphomas. Specifically, the NCCN Guidelines in the United States now include Monjuvi in combination with lenalidomide with a Category 2A designation as an option for the treatment of previously-treated adult patients with relapsed or refractory diffuse large B-cell lymphoma (DLBCL) not otherwise specified, including DLBCL arising from low grade lymphoma who are ineligible for autologous stem cell transplant (ASCT).

"We are very gratified the NCCN acted quickly to include Monjuvi in combination with lenalidomide with a Category 2A designation in its Clinical Practice Guidelines in Oncology as a treatment for patients with relapsed or refractory DLBCL who are not candidates for transplant. This targeted therapeutic option helps address an immediate medical need for patients who previously had limited treatment options," said Dr. Malte Peters, Chief Research & Development Officer, MorphoSys. "There is no other FDA-approved second line treatment for these patients with a 2A designation within the NCCN guidelines."

The U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) approved Monjuvi in combination with lenalidomide under accelerated approval on July 31, 2020, for the treatment of adult patients with relapsed or refractory DLBCL not otherwise specified, including DBLCL arising from low grade lymphoma, and who are not eligible for ASCT. The approval was based on data from the MorphoSys-sponsored Phase 2 L-MIND study, an open label, multicenter single arm trial. Continued approval for this indication may be contingent upon verification and description of clinical benefit in a confirmatory trial(s).1

The NCCN is a not-for-profit alliance of 30 leading cancer centers devoted to patient care, research and education. The intent of the NCCN Guidelines is to assist in the decision-making process of individuals involved in cancer care – including physicians, nurses, pharmacists, payers, patients and their families – with the ultimate goal of improving patient care and outcomes.

"The inclusion of Monjuvi in the NCCN Guidelines will help further inform healthcare providers of this advancement for patients," said Peg Squier, M.D., Group Vice President, U.S. Medical Affairs, Incyte. "We believe Monjuvi has the potential to address an urgent medical need for patients with relapsed or refractory DLBCL and are pleased that the NCCN has acknowledged the clinical benefit of this targeted therapeutic option."

DLBCL is the most common type of non-Hodgkin lymphoma in adults worldwide,2 characterized by rapidly growing masses of malignant B-cells in the lymph nodes, spleen, liver, bone marrow or other organs. It is an aggressive disease with about one in three patients not responding to initial therapy or relapsing thereafter.3 In the United States each year, approximately 10,000 patients are diagnosed with relapsed or refractory DLBCL who are not eligible for ASCT.4,5,6

The updated NCCN Guidelines are available at www.nccn.org.

About Monjuvi® (tafasitamab-cxix)

Monjuvi is a humanized Fc-modified cytolytic CD19 targeting monoclonal antibody. In 2010, MorphoSys licensed exclusive worldwide rights to develop and commercialize tafasitamab from Xencor, Inc. Tafasitamab incorporates an XmAb® engineered Fc domain, which mediates B-cell lysis through apoptosis and immune effector mechanism including antibody-dependent cell-mediated cytotoxicity (ADCC) and antibody-dependent cellular phagocytosis (ADCP).

Monjuvi is approved by the U.S. Food and Drug Administration in combination with lenalidomide for the treatment of adult patients with relapsed or refractory diffuse large B-cell lymphoma (DLBCL) not otherwise specified, including DLBCL arising from low grade lymphoma, and who are not eligible for autologous stem cell transplant (ASCT).

In January 2020, MorphoSys and Incyte entered into a collaboration and licensing agreement to further develop and commercialize Monjuvi globally. Monjuvi will be co-commercialized by Incyte and MorphoSys in the United States. Incyte has exclusive commercialization rights outside the United States.

A marketing authorization application (MAA) seeking the approval of tafasitamab in combination with lenalidomide in the EU has been validated by the European Medicines Agency (EMA) and is currently under review for the treatment of adult patients with relapsed or refractory DLBCL, including DLBCL arising from low grade lymphoma, who are not candidates for ASCT.

Tafasitamab-cxix is being clinically investigated as a therapeutic option in B-cell malignancies in a number of ongoing combination trials.

Justin Belill Avid Traveler Discusses Why Peru Should Be on Everyone’s Bucket List

TAMPA, FL / ACCESSWIRE / August 18, 2020 / Travel restrictions due to the COVID-19 pandemic have canceled getaways and forced travelers to keep adding to their bucket lists. Avid traveler Justin Belill believes Peru should be a country at the top of your travel list when flights and safe travel around the globe resume.

Justin Belill is a member of the U.S. military and a former employee for two airlines, AirTran and Delta Air Lines. He has always had a major interest in airlines, aviation, travel, and experience cultures around the globe. As an avid explorer, Justin Belill has visited several countries that have proven absolutely unforgettable — one of them is Peru.

"To me, Peru is one of the most interesting countries in the world," Justin Belill said. "It's overflowing with culture, natural beauty, unique cuisine, and all of the makings of an ideal bucket-list destination."

Justin Belill explained that one of his top reasons to visit Peru is to meet the people who call it home. Heritage isn't something that has been put on the back burner in Peru. In fact, many Peruvians still have direct links to Inca ancestors, which mean visitors can still experience Inca traditions, ancient recipes, and more. Justin Belill explained that Peruvian people tend to be incredibly helpful, peaceful, and polite, making asking questions and sharing stories that much more enjoyable.

"When many travelers think of Peru, they think Machu Picchu," Justin Belill said. "But Peru is amazingly home to more than 28 unique climates."

Justin Belill stated that Machu Picchu is surely iconic and bucket-list-worthy in itself. However, Peru offers far more than just one iconic destination. The Ballestas Islands are loaded with penguins, Paracas is a charming desert town, and the Canon del Cotahuasi is one of the deepest canyons in the world. From the peaks of the Andes to the deep blue hues of the Pacific Ocean, Peru is packed with must-visit scenery, towns, and other destinations.

"Food critics consistently name Peru as one of the top foodie destinations in the Americas," Justin Belill said. "You'll understand why within hours of arrival."

Peruvian dishes are known for being spicy and filling, including the unique guinea pig meat, known as cuy, found in the Andes. Other, more traditional, Peruvian foods include mouthwatering empanadas, fresh ceviche near the sea, lomo saltado, butifarra, and more. Justin Belill explained that because the country is home to so many unique climates, the foods vary drastically based on the areas you visit.

"It's impossible to pack all of the beauty, culture, and flavors of Peru into a single visit, but I encourage you to try," Justin Belill finished. "You won't be disappointed."

Evolution's reserves, 100% of which are oil and natural gas liquids, are determined by DeGolyer and MacNaughton, a global independent reservoir engineering firm. The oil price used were based on West Texas Intermediate pricing, calculated as the unweighted arithmetic average of the first day of the month price for each month within the 12-month period prior to the end of the reporting period was $47.37 per barrel. The probable and possible reserves are categories that represent potential recoveries from the CO2 flood developed in the Delhi Field greater than that included in the proved reserves. Consequently, while the probable and possible reserves are 86% and 89% developed, respectively, and require de minimis conformance capital expenditures, they remain less certain of attainment and have more risk of recovery than proved reserves and should not be aggregated with other categories.

"Despite what has been a difficult and unprecedented period both for our industry as well as our economy due to Covid-19, we are fortunate to have strategically built our company around long-life, low decline quality oil assets with attractive non-proven potential upside. The acquisition we completed during the year helped to offset produced volumes and the effect of lower commodity prices." said Jason Brown, President and CEO.

"That being said, the financial limitations of the operator at Delhi significantly reduced their investment in the field during fiscal 2020, which directly impacted production. Historically we have been able to hold production relatively flat through conformance and infill drilling projects. In addition, the purchased CO2 line to Delhi has been offline since late February for an unscheduled issue that is currently being repaired by the pipeline operator, which significantly reduced the rate of injections in the field. We have been informed that it will be back online during the fourth quarter of calendar 2020 and should provide additional pressure support to the field. Denbury's projected near-term emergence from bankruptcy proceedings is expected to restart conformance work and accelerate Test Site 5 expansion to May of 2021. We continue to have a great working relationship with our operators at both Delhi and Hamilton Dome, allowing us to focus our efforts on acquiring additional long-life, quality assets that can support and sustain our dividend. I also wish to emphasize that Denbury's bankruptcy does not affect our ownership interests in the Delhi Field."

Investor Conference Call

Evolution will release its financial and operational results for the fiscal year ended June 30, 2020 after the stock market closes on Wednesday, September 9, 2020. An investor conference call to review the results will be held on Thursday, September 10, 2020 at 10:00 a.m. Eastern (9:00 a.m. Central). Details for the conference call are as follows:
