Additional Information

Additional Relevant Details James F. Oliviero, III, President and CEO of Checkpoint Therapeutics stated, “The acquisition of worldwide rights to CEP-9722 immediately transforms Checkpoint Therapeutics into a clinical-stage biopharmaceutical company, expanding our proprietary portfolio with an exciting targeted therapy that, when combined with our immuno-oncology antibodies under development, can potentially create wholly-owned proprietary combinations that leverage the immune system and other complimentary mechanisms with the goal of providing significant benefit to patients. PARP inhibitors have been associated with promising activity across multiple tumor types, including breast, ovarian and prostate cancer.” Mr. Oliviero, continued, “We appreciate Teva’s belief in our organization and our development strategy for this drug candidate in multiple strategic indications.”
