Citius Pharmaceuticals (NASDAQ: CTXR) Announces Progress in LYMPHIR Commercial Launch Preparation

Citius Pharmaceuticals, Inc. (NASDAQ: CTXR) disclosed on January 7, 2025, through an 8-K filing with the Securities and Exchange Commission, that they are making significant strides in readiness for the commercial launch of LYMPHIR™. LYMPHIR is an innovative immunotherapy crafted for treating adults grappling with relapsed or refractory cutaneous T-cell lymphoma (CTCL). The company is actively engaged in making LYMPHIR available to patients promptly, with preparations progressing for its anticipated launch in the first half of 2025.

The press release attached to the filing outlines the robust groundwork initiated by Citius Pharmaceuticals to facilitate a successful launch. Efforts extend to manufacturing scale-up, engagement with healthcare professionals, market access and reimbursement strategies, patient support programs, and marketing and sales initiatives. Citius Pharmaceuticals and Citius Oncology are geared towards not only ensuring a successful entry into the U.S. market but also exploring further growth opportunities by considering licensing partnerships in international markets and additional indications for LYMPHIR.

LYMPHIR, designed to target relapsed or refractory CTCL, achieved regulatory approval from the FDA in August 2024. The therapy exhibits promise by combining the IL-2 receptor binding domain with diphtheria toxin fragments, focusing on IL-2 receptors on cell surfaces to initiate cell death. With the acquisition of an exclusive license for producing and commercializing LYMPHIR in various markets, except for Japan and specific parts of Asia, Citius Pharmaceuticals aims to enrich the oncology treatment landscape with this innovative therapy.

Cutaneous T-cell lymphoma, affecting the skin and the immune system, can severely impact patients’ quality of life. Being the most prevalent form of cutaneous lymphoma, CTCL presents various challenges in treatment. LYMPHIR, designed to address Stage I-III CTCL, promises a potential therapeutic option for patients who have undergone prior systemic therapy. The therapy has received approval in Japan and the U.S., leading to anticipations of substantial value delivery to patients, healthcare providers, and shareholders.

Citius Pharmaceuticals emphasized that the commercial launch of LYMPHIR signifies a crucial phase shift from development to a revenue-generating stage. The company’s commitment to delivering innovative cancer care underscores its dedication to the betterment of patient outcomes and oncology treatment advancements. As the company progresses with launch preparations, stakeholders eagerly anticipate the next steps in Citius Pharmaceuticals’ journey towards empowering patients with potent oncological solutions.
