Item 8.01

Other Events.

On July 1, 2022, Clovis Oncology, Inc. (the “Company”) had a Type A meeting with the FDA to discuss the Company’s plans for an sNDA submission to the FDA for a first-line maintenance treatment indication for women with advanced ovarian cancer who have responded to first-line platinum-based chemotherapy, based on the results of the monotherapy portion of the ATHENA Phase 3 trial (ATHENA-MONO). FDA maintains their recommendation that the Company wait for more mature overall survival data to submit the sNDA or, if the Company chooses to submit the sNDA prior to receiving more mature overall survival data, then the sNDA may need to be discussed at an Oncologic Drugs Advisory Committee meeting. In addition, FDA will consider overall survival data from other rucaparib clinical trials when it reviews the ATHENA-MONO dataset. Following the Type A meeting with the FDA, the Company currently intends to submit the sNDA during the third quarter of 2022. There can be no assurances regarding the timing or outcome of the FDA review of the Company’s sNDA submission. Additionally, the Company continues to prepare a Type II variation for submission to the EMA for the same indication and plans to submit that filing in the third quarter of 2022 as well.
