Item 7.01 Regulation FD Disclosure.

 

On June 15, 2022, Kintara Therapeutics, Inc. (the “Company”) issued a press release announcing that the United States Food and Drug Administration (the “FDA”) has granted Fast Track Designation (“FTD”) to VAL-083 for the treatment of patients with newly-diagnosed unmethylated glioblastoma. A copy of the Company’s press release is attached hereto as Exhibit 99.1.

 

The information in this Current Report on Form 8-K under Item 7.01, including the information contained in Exhibit 99.1, is being furnished to the Securities and Exchange Commission, and shall not be deemed to be “filed” for the purposes of Section 18 of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”), or otherwise subject to the liabilities of that section, and shall not be deemed to be incorporated by reference into any filing under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, or the Exchange Act, except as shall be expressly set forth by a specific reference in such filing.

 

Item 8.01 Other Events.

 

On June 15, 2022, the Company announced that the FDA has granted FTD to VAL-083 for the treatment of patients with newly-diagnosed unmethylated glioblastoma.

 

Fast Track is a process designed to facilitate the development, and expedite the review of drugs to treat serious conditions and fill an unmet medical need. Some of the significant benefits of FTD include:

 

•

Enhanced access to the FDA, including opportunities for more frequent meetings and written consultation throughout the remaining development of VAL-083.

•

Drugs with FTD are eligible to apply for Accelerated Approval and Priority Review at the time of a New Drug Application (“NDA”) submission, which may result in faster product approval.

•

FTD also allows for 'rolling review', whereby the Company may submit completed sections of the VAL-083 NDA as they become available, rather than at the end of development.
