Comments about company or candidate Not listed in Merrimack pipeline as of July 2017. Dec 21, 2016: Following a recent independent Data and Safety Monitoring Board (DSMB) recommendation and subsequent futility analysis, it has decided to stop the Phase 2 HERMIONE study of MM-302 (HER2 antibody-targeted liposomal doxorubicin) in HER2-positive metastatic breast cancer patients who had previously been treated with trastuzumab (Herceptin®), pertuzumab (Perjeta®) and ado-trastuzumab emtansine. NCT02213744 Phase 2/3 study started in July 2014; terminated in Jan 2017 for not showing benefit over control per DMC and confirmed via futility analysis. The Phase 2 trial was designed with input from the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) to support a potential accelerated approval application.
