CTI BioPharma Corp. today announced their plan to submit a new drug application (NDA) to the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) for Pacritinib, an oral kinase inhibitor with specificity for JAK2, FLT3, IRAK1 and CSF1R. They are requesting approval for this drug as a treatment for patients with intermediate and high-risk myelofibrosis with low platelet counts of less than 50,000 per microliter (<50,000/uL).
