Thanks, Sam, and thanks all for becoming a member of this morning. I’m happy to share our second quarter outcomes and the way we’re delivering on our goal to make a profound impression on the lives of sufferers with devastating illnesses. Beginning with a video for sufferers with desmoid tumors, we’re inspired by the robust momentum of our U.S. launch. Within the second quarter of 2024, we reported $40.2 million in web product income. This strong and continued progress is pushed by the transformative scientific advantages from OGSIVEO, excessive demand from sufferers and physicians throughout therapy settings, and powerful industrial execution. Since our FDA approval final November, OGSIVEO has quickly develop into the usual of care systemic remedy for sufferers with desmoid tumors.
As Bhavesh will focus on in additional element, we’re seeing regular progress in new sufferers’ begins, in addition to robust persistence from those that beforehand initiated OGSIVEO remedy. Importantly, sufferers are reporting fast and significant symptomatic reduction, which is contributing to their total improved high quality of life and their enthusiasm for OGSIVEO for his or her therapy. We’re happy with our early launch expertise and consider that we now have solely reached a small proportion of individuals with desmoid tumors who can profit from OGSIVEO.
Our confidence within the total affected person inhabitants has continued to extend as we now have gained additional insights from the launch and from rising desmoid tumor particular claims information. Our conviction stays excessive within the alternative we now have in entrance of us to serve an growing variety of desmoid tumor sufferers.
Turning to our investigational MEK inhibitor, mirdametinib, within the second quarter, we accomplished our NDA submission to the FDA for the therapy of kids and adults with neurofibromatosis Kind 1 related plexiform neurofibromas, or N1-PN. Our NDA submission is predicated on constructive information from our pivotal Section 2B ReNeu Trial, which helps the potential for mirdametinib to be a best-in-class remedy for each kids and adults residing with these devastating lifelong tumors. There’s a substantial unmet want for the roughly 40,000 individuals residing with N1-PN in the USA alone. 30,000 of whom are adults and 10,000 are pediatric sufferers.
Challenges with administration and tolerability restrict the usage of presently out there choices for kids and there are not any FDA-approved therapies for adults. We stay up for working with the FDA all through our NDA assessment course of and to advancing our industrial preparations in anticipation of our second drugs launched to sufferers in 2025.
We’re additionally excited in regards to the alternatives in our rising portfolio. We have now a number of necessary efforts in growth to serve extra affected person populations with excessive unmet wants, together with sufferers with ovarian granulosis cell tumors, a number of myeloma, and MAPK mutant stable tumors. As well as, we not too long ago started enrollment in our Section 1 research of our investigational TEAD inhibitor SW-682 in Hippo mutant stable tumors, which signify as much as 10% of cancers. Lastly, we now have sturdy IP protections for our lead molecules and a strong stability sheet that we count on to fund us via profitability.
I am going to now hand the decision to Bhavesh, to debate our progress with OGSIVEO for sufferers with desmoid tumors. Bhavesh?
Bhavesh Ashar
Thanks, Saqib. I am glad to share an replace on the U.S. launch of OGSIVEO. Two full quarters into our launch, OGSIVEO is already probably the most prescribed systemic remedy for adults with desmoid tumors. As Saqib highlighted, within the second quarter of 2024, we generated $40.2 million in web product income pushed by robust demand for OGSIVEO by sufferers and physicians throughout therapy websites, real-world expertise of OGSIVEO’s significant advantages, and centered industrial execution in delivering the primary and solely FDA-approved drugs to the desmoid tumor neighborhood.
We’re seeing strong adoption with broad use aligned with our FDA-approved label, together with in newly identified sufferers and in these looking for their subsequent line of remedy after unsatisfactory outcomes with earlier interventions. Physicians at Facilities of Excellence have been robust early adopters of OGSIVEO. The vast majority of them have now handled a number of sufferers and proceed so as to add new sufferers.
We’re additionally happy with the continued uptake amongst physicians and different tutorial and neighborhood facilities the place we’re additionally seeing regular new affected person begins. As well as, we have obtained constant suggestions from each sufferers and physicians on OGSIVEO’s life-altering impression. Sufferers are experiencing fast and important symptom reduction, notably ache discount, serving to them to get again to their every day lives.
Enhancing the affected person expertise with OGSIVEO has been an space of focus this quarter. We’re happy with the profitable introduction of the 150 milligram and 100 milligram energy OGSIVEO tablets in handy blister packaging. The brand new product format has seen robust adoption up to now, validating the significance of this innovation for sufferers.
Sufferers prescribed OGSIVEO proceed to have broad entry with reimbursement throughout payers. Industrial and authorities insurers are broadly reimbursing OGSIVEO, and formal protection insurance policies are in place for over 90% of commercially lined lives. Throughout the payer panorama, there’s clear recognition of the scientific worth of our drugs as an NCCN Class 1 most well-liked therapy.
And in June, the desmoid tumor Working Group Pointers have been printed in JAMA Oncology, highlighting OGSIVEO’s incorporation into the therapy algorithm as the primary and solely permitted drug for desmoid tumors.
In simply seven months on market, OGSIVEO has develop into the systemic customary of take care of desmoid tumors primarily based on our evaluation of prescription information, and we’re excited to leverage this place of energy to succeed in many extra sufferers with this illness. We have additionally continued to obtain extremely constructive suggestions from prescribers and sufferers on their experiences with OGSIVEO.
In a current survey of 110 oncologists, 95% of OGSIVEO prescribers expressed satisfaction with their expertise. Greater than 85% of prescribers favor it over off-label systemics, that are identified to have inconsistent efficacy and tolerability challenges, additional supporting OGSIVEO’s place because the systemic remedy of alternative. As well as, most physicians stated that they’re possible to make use of OGSIVEO as a frontline therapy, indicating therapy with OGSIVEO because the earliest alternative for his or her grownup sufferers.
Additional, we’re listening to constant suggestions from sufferers of profound symptom reduction on OGSIVEO, together with sufferers experiencing fast and significant enhancements in ache inside days of initiating therapy. The energy of the real-world suggestions, which is per our scientific trial expertise, will proceed to solidify OGSIVEO as the usual of care systemic therapy for sufferers with desmoid tumors.
Turning now to the chance we see forward of us, there are as much as 1,650 newly identified sufferers yearly. Our market analysis helps that the overwhelming majority of physicians are possible to make use of OGSIVEO as a frontline therapy, and we’re already seeing uptake of OGSIVEO as the primary intervention. Our analysis has beforehand pointed to as much as 7,000 actively managed sufferers within the U.S. annually. Our early launch outcomes, in addition to desmoid tumor-specific ICD-10 claims information, have continued to validate the dimensions of this presently addressable affected person pool, and we now view this estimate as conservative.
The function of systemic remedy is constant to extend amongst sufferers who require energetic therapy, with surgical procedure being deprioritized in therapy tips. With OGSIVEO as the primary alternative systemic, we’re assured that there continues to be a considerable alternative for progress on this affected person inhabitants. As well as, there is a sizable identified prevalent inhabitants of 30,000 individuals total.
We all know that almost all of desmoid tumor sufferers obtain energetic intervention over the course of their illness, and therefore a significant proportion of those sufferers who’re presently on the sidelines may doubtlessly be addressed with a brand new therapy choice. We have now seen strong adoption up to now and proceed to have robust conviction within the sizable alternative forward of us to proceed serving adults with desmoid tumors in any respect phases of therapy.
Our success so far positions us nicely for continued momentum within the second half of the 12 months and past. We’re gratified to have earned the advocacy of desmoid tumor consultants via their collaboration within the DeFi research, in addition to engagement following the approval of OGSIVEO. Our industrial efforts purpose to amplify their voices to teach and enhance outcomes for sufferers. This comes within the type of offering alternatives for these leaders to teach the broader desmoid tumor neighborhood, together with physicians, nurses, advocates, sufferers, and caregivers on guideline really helpful therapy approaches.
Importantly, this consists of educating on the function of systemics, the restrictions of surgical intervention, and the provision of OGSIVEO as an FDA-approved and the NCCN Class 1 most well-liked therapy choice. Training and peer-to-peer info and expertise sharing are crucial avenues to growing consciousness of OGSIVEO and can proceed to help elevated breadth and depth of prescribing.
Persevering with to handle the wants of sufferers additionally stays paramount, and we’re extremely centered on supporting constructive experiences with OGSIVEO. In mid-Might, we efficiently launched our 150 milligram and 100 milligram energy tablets in handy blister packaging. This new product format was developed as an innovation for sufferers to extend comfort and adherence by decreasing the every day tablet consumption and simplifying morning and night dosing. We have now seen a robust transition to this new format via the second quarter and count on this transition to proceed over the following three months.
Moreover, we’re increasing our instructional assets and delivering best-in-class affected person providers via SpringWorks Care Connections to additional help the therapy journey with OGSIVEO. We additionally proceed to generate information to help the robust scientific profile of OGSIVEO and are advancing our efforts to increase OGSIVEO into extra geographies. Within the second quarter, we introduced extra information from our Section III DeFi trial at ASCO. That strengthened the strong efficacy and manageable security profile of OGSIVEO, together with in hard-to-treat subgroups comparable to sufferers with traits related to poor prognosis and people with APC mutations, which could be a extra aggressive type of the illness.
In an oral presentation at ASCO, the file was additionally showcased as an exemplar of one of the crucial complete assessments of ovarian perform in an oncology scientific trial up to now and a finest follow for evaluating a drug’s impact on ovarian perform for future most cancers trials in accordance with ASCO tips. This evaluation included up to date information on investigator-reported decision of ovarian toxicity within the file, which additional supported the transient nature of ovarian toxicity in each the vast majority of sufferers who keep on OGSIVEO remedy and all those that cease therapy for any motive.
Turning to approaching milestones, we’re working intently with European regulators as they assessment our advertising authorization utility, and we’re excited by the potential to obtain approval from the European Fee in 2025.
We additionally stay up for sharing long-term follow-up information from DeFi at a medical convention earlier than the tip of the 12 months. In our Section 1 and Section 2 research, sufferers remained on OGSIVEO for a median of over 4 years, and on the time of the Section 3 DeFi trial information cutoff, median therapy length was approaching two years. With these long-term follow-up information from DeFi, we plan to offer an replace on the continued anti-tumor exercise and total scientific profit offered by OGSIVEO with longer durations of therapy.
The flexibility for sufferers to remain on remedy is crucial given the persistent morbidities related to this illness, and we consider these longer-term outcomes from DeFi will additional help the potential for prolonged therapy durations.
I am going to now flip over to Dr. Jim Cassidy, our Chief Medical Officer, to debate the progress we’re making with our MEK inhibitor, mirdametinib, for kids and adults with NF1-PN. Jim?
Jim Cassidy
Thanks, Bhavesh. I am glad to offer an replace on our progress growing mirdametinib as a doubtlessly best-in-class remedy for sufferers with NF1-PN, which is a extremely morbid and lifelong illness that impacts each kids and adults.
To start out, there’s a important alternative to enhance final result for these sufferers. There are roughly 100,000 individuals in the USA residing with NF1. These people have a 30% to 50% lifetime threat of growing plexiform neurofibromas, that are tumors that develop alongside peripheral nerve sheaths and may trigger extreme disfigurement, ache, and practical impairment.
We estimate that there are roughly 40,000 sufferers with NF1-PN within the U.S. at present, the vast majority of whom are adults who presently should not have an permitted remedy. As there is no such thing as a particular demographic hyperlink for this illness, we estimate that there are a proportionate variety of individuals residing with NF1-PN exterior of the USA as nicely. Whereas systemic therapies are therapy of alternative and MEK inhibitors have been clinically validated as a category on this indication, there are not any formal therapy tips, and our market analysis reveals that solely a small portion of NF1-PN sufferers have been handled with a focused remedy.
We have now accomplished appreciable work to grasp the illness state, present therapy paradigm, and doctor and affected person preferences, and brought as a complete, our analysis helps that sufferers are in want of latest choices. That is illustrated by a extremely fragmented therapy panorama with important use of off-label therapies, even in pediatric sufferers for whom there is no such thing as a permitted drugs.
Folks residing with NF1PN have substantial wants that aren’t met by present choices, and bringing to market a brand new systemic remedy may enable many extra sufferers to be handled. As we’ll focus on, the constructive outcomes from our pivotal Section 2b ReNeu trial help MEK’s potential to be a first-in-class remedy for adults with NF1-PN and a best-in-class choice for pediatric sufferers.
The ReNeu outcomes have been introduced at three medical conferences within the second quarter, together with throughout an oral session at ASCO. These shows are enhancing consciousness and constructing enthusiasm for our constructive outcomes amongst the doctor neighborhood. The efficacy information throughout each grownup and pediatric cohorts in ReNeu confirmed important reductions within the measurement of PN tumors with strong goal response charges confirmed by blinded impartial central assessment.
As well as, we noticed very deep responses that haven’t been seen earlier than in printed research of this illness. The vast majority of sufferers with a confirmed goal response skilled a tumor discount of larger than 50% and reductions of as much as 90% have been seen in each cohorts. That is notably important when you think about the hard-to-treat sufferers that have been enrolled in our research.
Importantly, doctor suggestions means that these are unprecedented information and have the potential to be a significant differentiator. In each kids and adults, mirdametinib demonstrated a manageable security profile with low charges of grade 3 antagonistic occasions and low discontinuation charges attributable to AEs. We consider mirdametinib’s tolerability profile helps the potential for prolonged therapy length, which is necessary in a power illness like NF1-PN, the place there are excessive charges of recurrence after stopping remedy.
In ReNeu, throughout each cohorts, the median time on therapy was approaching two years, with some sufferers on mirdametinib for practically 4 years on the time of the first evaluation. Almost all sufferers that accomplished the therapy section continued on remedy within the long-term follow-up portion of the research. The potential for mirdametinib to reinforce affected person high quality of life can be very significant.
Ache is a typical symptom in NF1-PN and present scientific follow suggestions point out that it is a crucial consider therapy initiation choices. Additional, in lots of circumstances, the first objective of therapy is enchancment of such pain-associated morbidity. Ache was probably the most generally reported baseline morbidity within the ReNeu trial, so it is important that each adults and youngsters, together with these with probably the most capability to absorb ache, reported early sustained and clinically important reductions in ache severity and ache interference over the course of mirdametinib therapy.
Lastly, we consider that mirdametinib’s handy dosing routine, which offers a built-in therapy vacation and a pediatric-friendly dispersible formulation, may additional optimize the affected person expertise and doubtlessly improve compliance. In ReNeu, kids and caregiver experiences have been extremely constructive on this regard, with most acceptability scores for ease of swallowing and willingness to proceed to take dispersible tablets.
The totality of the ReNeu information reinforces our perception that mirdametinib can deal with robust want amongst each physicians and sufferers for a brand new remedy that provides strong tumor and symptomatic management, a manageable security profile, and handy dosing routine, all of which we count on will allow sufferers to stay on remedy for an prolonged time frame.
Wanting forward, we’re making significant progress advancing mirdametinib in the direction of potential regulator approval in 2025. Mirdametinib was granted orphan drug designation by each the FDA and the European Fee, and the FDA additionally granted fast-track and uncommon pediatric illness designations for NF1-PN. We accomplished our NDA submission to the FDA on the finish of June, and we anticipate saying our PDUFA date within the coming weeks.
We’re additionally on observe to finish the submission of our European advertising authorization inside this half. As well as, the ReNeu outcomes will proceed to be showcased at upcoming medical congresses, and we count on the outcomes to be printed in a peer-reviewed journal later this 12 months.
And now, Frank Perrier, our Chief Monetary Officer, who will focus on our second quarter monetary outcomes. Frank?
Frank Perier
Thanks, Jim. I am going to now summarize a number of highlights from our second quarter 2024 monetary outcomes. Beginning with revenues, we recorded $40.2 million of OGSIVEO web product income within the second quarter. This brings our 2024 year-to-date OGSIVEO web product income to $61.2 million. Our complete working bills elevated in comparison with the second quarter and the primary half of 2023, pushed by the industrial actions to help the U.S. launch of OGSIVEO and the anticipated U.S. launch of mirdametinib in each adults and youngsters with NF1-PN. We have now a robust stability sheet supporting our clear path to profitability, with $522 million in money, money equivalents, and marketable securities as of the tip of the second quarter.
Lastly, we now have a sturdy working plan designed to fund a number of international product launches and to allow the continued funding in growth alternatives throughout our pipeline.
With that, I am going to hand the decision again over to Saqib.
Saqib Islam
Thanks, Frank. As we have mentioned this morning, we’re very happy with the continued robust momentum of our U.S. launch of OGSIVEO for adults with desmoid tumors and are working with urgency to carry mirdametinib to kids and adults with NF1-PN.
In parallel with these industrial efforts, we’re keen about our rising portfolio. Nirogacestat is being studied in a Section 2 trial in ovarian granulosa cell tumors, which is totally enrolled. These tumors account for about 5% of all ovarian cancers, and like desmoid tumors, it is a significant affected person inhabitants for which there are not any FDA-approved therapies. In a number of myeloma, we have established scientific proof of idea for Nirogacestat together settings with a number of BCMA-directed brokers and are persevering with to collaborate with quite a lot of business and tutorial companions to additional this technique.
We’re additionally pursuing growth alternatives for mirdametinib in a number of monotherapy and mixture remedy settings. Promising information from a Section 1-2 research of mirdametinib in pediatric low-grade glioma have been not too long ago introduced on the Worldwide Symposium on Pediatric Neuro-Oncology Assembly, and several other mixture research are presently ongoing, together with a trial with MapKure’s brimarafenib in superior stable tumors with MAP kinase mutations and with brimarafenib in NRAS mutant stable tumors.
Brimarafenib can be being explored as a monotherapy in adults with NRAS mutant stable tumors, and we’re seeking to verify the efficacy sign we reported final 12 months within the dose escalation research in a number of ongoing dose growth cohorts. Moreover, SW682, our oral TEAD inhibitor, is now within the clinic. This program is designed to deal with tumors with Hippo pathway mutation, which might happen in as much as 10% of cancers, together with mesothelioma and head and neck most cancers.
We consider that there’s a significant alternative with SW682 for SpringWorks to develop a novel drugs for these cancers. Lastly, we’re additionally advancing a number of internally found preclinical stage applications, and we stay up for sharing extra about these efforts as they progress.
To shut, we’re very happy with our accomplishments within the first half of this 12 months and have a number of milestones and information readouts forward that we stay up for sharing. These embrace long-term follow-up information from our DeFi trial, which we consider will help the advantages of prolonged therapy durations with OGSIVEO in desmoid tumors.
It additionally consists of preliminary information from our Section 2 trial of nirogacestat in ovarian granulosa cell tumors, and we count on the complete renewed trial outcomes to be printed in a peer-reviewed journal. Our focus for the rest of the 12 months can be to proceed constructing on OGSIVEO ‘s momentum within the U.S. whereas working to carry this drugs to sufferers in Europe and different geographies, to advance our regulatory and industrial preparations for mirdametinib in anticipation of serving sufferers with NF1-PN within the U.S. and Europe, and to progress our diversified rising portfolio in an environment friendly method.
We’re assured that our robust basis will help our continued success as we ship on our mission to vary the lives of individuals affected by devastating illnesses. As at all times, I wish to thank the sufferers and investigators who participated in our scientific trials, our affected person advocacy companions and collaborators, and our workforce of spring staff.
We’re now glad to take questions. Operator?
Query-and-Reply Session
[Operator Instructions] Our first query will come from Anupam Rama at JPMorgan.
Q – Anupam Rama
Congrats on all of the progress. Only a fast one for me. What are you seeing from each new prescribers and repeat prescribers for OGSIVEO and within the early innings, the wait-and-watch inhabitants that is coming in to hunt therapy for OGSIVEO? Thanks a lot.
Saqib Islam
Thanks, Anupam. Bhavesh, I shall allow you to take that.
Bhavesh Ashar
Sure. On the repeat versus new, clearly, we noticed an excellent quantity of latest prescribers within the preliminary months of the launch. As you’d count on, we have began to see repos coming in at an everyday tempo from these preliminary begins, however supported by continued new affected person begins from new sufferers being acquired within the second quarter as nicely.
As you’d count on, the overall proportion of enterprise coming from current sufferers versus new affected person begins is growing over time and in order that’s a constructive growth. From a wait-and-watch perspective, we do know, clearly, that the proportion of the DT affected person inhabitants there’s — is underneath energetic surveillance at any time limit. Nevertheless, we do know that over 90% of those sufferers obtained some energetic intervention throughout the course of their illness.
Now with the provision of the primary and solely FDA-approved therapy, the chance forward of us and supported by therapy tips, which favor systemic remedy, supported by the constructive experiences that sufferers and physicians are seeing with OGSIVEO within the early innings of the launch, the chance forward of us is to try to drive sooner therapy for these sufferers underneath energetic surveillance. And so we do count on the proportion of energetic surveillance sufferers to be dropping over time.
Operator
Our subsequent query comes from the road of Yaron Werber from TD Cowen.
Yaron Werber
Nice. Thanks for taking my query. Congrats additionally on a pleasant quarter. Perhaps I’ve a sort of a few interrelated questions. One, are you able to simply give us a way on inventories for the quarter for OGSIVEO after which secondly, only a follow-on Anupam’s query. It is — one would think about that the educational facilities are in all probability the early adopters, and so they’re shifting sort of shortly as sufferers are coming in to make use of OGSIVEO. What are you seeing locally? Perhaps simply give us just a little little bit of sense of sort of the breadth of utilization? Thanks.
Saqib Islam
Bhavesh, I’ll flip to you once more for that.
Bhavesh Ashar
Sure, thanks. So from a listing standpoint, the general impression of stock within the second quarter was minimal. The stocking ranges have been usually aligned with the demand that we’re seeing. And much like prior quarters, stock was not a key driver of efficiency this quarter. From a neighborhood dynamic perspective, initially, I am going to say that from — as we stated in our ready feedback, there’s a deeper pool of sufferers total than we initially estimated. And we began to interrupt into this combination pool of sufferers which might be up larger than 7,000 actively managed sufferers.
We’re — as you highlighted, we’re happy with the replace within the Facilities of Excellence, we noticed breadth of prescribing within the early months of the launch, we noticed depth of prescribing within the second quarter. Particularly addressing your query round neighborhood, we have began to see good adoption locally facilities the place we proceed to drive breadth and — however we nonetheless have a chance, proper? With the broad pool of sufferers, we now have a chance each to proceed to drive breadth of prescribing, but additionally those that expertise — who do prescribe OGSIVEO to drive depth of prescribing.
Now I am going to spotlight a few issues in that regard. Initially, our capability to be in the suitable place on the proper time for these neighborhood clinics has been considerably enhanced by the provision of the desmoid tumor-specific ICD-10 codes. And so we’re capable of direct our gross sales workforce to be in these clinics when a affected person is on the market for therapy. After which secondly, the tutorial efforts that we’re driving each across the availability of OGSIVEO the primary and solely therapy choice for desmoid tumor sufferers, but additionally therapy tips, which do favor systemic remedy, provides us confidence within the capability for us to drive depth in that neighborhood section as nicely.
Operator
Our subsequent query comes from the road of Corinne Johnson from Goldman Sachs.
Corinne Johnson
Hey, good morning guys. You’ve got talked just a little bit about having some extra visibility on this affected person inhabitants given the ICD-10 codes and doubtlessly as you sort of transfer to those blister packs on the ahead, I suppose, as you take a look at that, the place have you ever recognized the pockets the place you see sort of the best alternative for close to and intermediate-term progress and what are you doing tactically to succeed in that affected person inhabitants and maintain them on remedy?
After which I did wish to ask additionally on mirdametinib, possibly with the launch subsequent 12 months, the place do you see sort of just like the low-hanging fruit with respect to preliminary adoption and the way ought to we take into consideration the trajectory of the early launch in comparison with what you have completed right here with OGSIVEO?
Saqib Islam
Thanks Corinne, for the sequence of questions, however we will try to reply all of them. I believe as we consider mirdametinib, we view that chance is definitely fairly significant. And as I consider low-hanging fruit, I believe we’re very snug saying that this is a chance that’s truly a minimum of as massive as what we see in desmoid tumors. And that is pushed by quite a lot of components. One, by the dimensions of the affected person inhabitants, proper? We talked about 40,000 sufferers within the U.S. and a proportionate quantity exterior the U.S. And a 3rd of these are — excuse me, 0.25 of these are pediatric and three.25 of these are adults. So the chance for us to have a best-in-class therapy for pediatric and a first-in-class therapy for adults, we predict provides us a significant goal.
Second, the physicians on this area truly themselves, even within the pediatric setting, consider that their sufferers usually are not being served as broadly as they might be. And so we predict there’s a chance there. And third, you should utilize [indiscernible] revenues, which now run price simply within the pediatric setting of about $500 million yearly as a proxy for the chance simply in that one quarter of the market. And as you understand, we’re submitting for each adults and peds. So we predict the chance past, I believe, lining fruit implies that it is all straightforward. None of it’s, however you have acquired a drugs that persons are ready for, a chance that’s sizable and information that we consider helps a doubtlessly best-in-class profile for mirdametinib for distance.
Bhavesh, I am going to flip to you discuss OGSIVEO
Bhavesh Ashar
Sure. No, I’d simply reiterate a few the factors. In the beginning, we’re lucky to have with OGSIVEO to be ready of delivering a drug with transformative profit to desmoid tumor sufferers, proper? That’s the basis for the excessive consciousness we now have, the excessive satisfaction that we shared within the ready feedback in addition to the robust choice that we see amongst prescribers and sufferers supported by broad entry by the payer neighborhood.
So with simply seven months available on the market, we develop into the systemic customary of care and probably the most prescribed systemic remedy for grownup sufferers with desmoid tumors. And so the chance for us is to proceed to drive depth throughout the facilities of excellence in addition to drive depth and breadth locally section, as I discussed earlier than. With the big pool of seven,000 — greater than 7,000 actively managed sufferers, we do see that we now have a major alternative forward of us to see continued progress for OGSIVEO.
Operator
Our subsequent query comes from the road of Peter Lawson from Barclays.
Peter Lawson
Nice. Thanks for taking the questions. Thanks for the replace and congrats on the progress. First query is admittedly simply in regards to the affected person developments, how they have been trying on the month and notably into July after which whether or not you are seeing any sufferers discontinuing? Thanks.
Saqib Islam
Sure, thanks for the query, Peter. I believe we aren’t seeing any distinctive discontinuations. It is what we might have anticipated from the DeFi research, and I believe that offers us confidence going into not simply the third quarter, however the fourth quarter as nicely. So I believe that the pattern holds nicely. As Bhavesh highlighted, we predict the affected person pool is definitely deeper than what we had initially estimated. And I believe that portends nicely for the mixture alternative right here.
Basically, the place we’re maybe most excited is the suggestions that we’re getting, although. You’ve got acquired sufferers seeing deep speedy and protracted advantages to their ache that’s inflicting them to wish to get on remedy and wish to keep on remedy. So we consider that the chance right here continues to be measurement up.
Operator
Our subsequent query comes from the road of Michael Schmidt from Guggenheim.
Michael Schmidt
Hey guys, good morning. Congrats on a robust second quarter outcome. Only a follow-up on OGSIVEO. As we take into consideration the third quarter right here arising, another merchandise generally expertise seasonality over the summer season months. Is that one thing you could count on as nicely with OGSIVEO? After which a follow-up on mirdametinib as we take into consideration the launch subsequent 12 months. Clearly, you may have already a product available on the market. Do you count on preliminary switching from OGSIVEO over to mirdametinib or would you count on a predominantly penetration into the presently untreated sufferers with NF1-PN we take into consideration that subsequent 12 months? Thanks a lot.
Saqib Islam
Thanks, Michael. So I am going to take the OGSIVEO query. I am going to ask to Dr. Edris to take mirdametinib query. I do not suppose that we’re immune from seasonality, I believe, as we see in lots of different merchandise. I might count on to see some seasonality in the summertime months. However clearly, as we have stated from the outset, we predict the pool is deep, and we predict the chance is important.
Badreddin?
Badreddin Edris
So with respect to our alternative inside NF1-PN for mirdametinib, I am going to remind you that our NDA submitting is for each pediatric and grownup sufferers, the latter of whom signify 0.75 of the market and should not have unapproved remedy. And so we predict there’s fairly a little bit of white area there with respect to with the ability to serve sufferers who’re beforehand untreated.
Inside the pediatric inhabitants, I believe there will definitely be some sufferers who’ve been therapy expertise over time which might be looking for their subsequent line of remedy, however our market analysis reveals that, that market is minimally penetrated as nicely with respect to systemic remedy.

Positive. So with respect to the longer-term follow-up information, Alex, I am going to remind you that on the time of our main evaluation, the median time on therapy for sufferers that have been randomized to the nirogacestat arm was just below two years. And the vast majority of these sufferers have been remaining on remedy. And so what we hope to have the ability to share an replace on later this 12 months.
It is definitely a extra mature median time on therapy determine for nirogacestat handled sufferers in addition to the developments that we see by way of responses, how they evolve over time and the advantages that we’re seeing with a longer-dated information reduce on the affected person reported outcomes as nicely. So that is what we’re gearing up to have the ability to share. And I am going to remind you that in Section 1 and Section 2, our median time on therapy was over 4 years in every of these research. So there’s the chance to actually current longer-term information.
With respect any expectations on assessment timing after which assessment designations for the mirdametinib submitting, we now have not given any steerage on that matter. We’ll be ready to obtain the PDUFA date from FDA about 60 days from submitting, in order that can be someday late in August.
