Item 7.01 Regulation FD.

 

On November 26, 2018, Loxo Oncology, Inc. (“Loxo Oncology”), and its partner Bayer, issued a press release announcing that the U.S. Food and Drug Administration granted marketing approval to Vitrakvi® (larotrectinib). Bayer, the lead commercial party, has final decision-making authority on all commercial matters, including pricing. Per Bayer, the wholesale acquisition cost (WAC) of Vitrakvi® (larotrectinib) is $32,800 for a 30-day supply. This price is based upon the standard dose of Vitrakvi® capsules (100 mg BID), and is equivalent to the price of the average anticipated dose of Vitrakvi liquid (100 mg/m2 orally twice daily with a maximum of 100 mg per dose). A copy of the press release is furnished as Exhibit 99.1 to this report and incorporated herein by reference.

 

The information furnished with this report, including Exhibit 99.1, shall not be deemed “filed” for purposes of Section 18 of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (“Exchange Act”), or otherwise subject to the liabilities of that section, nor shall it be deemed incorporated by reference into any other filing under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, or the Exchange Act, except as expressly set forth by specific reference in such a filing.
