ITEM 7.01Regulation FD Disclosure

On September 10, 2018, Endocyte, Inc. (the “Company”) issued a press release announcing that, following a meeting with the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (“FDA”), it was determined that radiographic progression free survival (“rPFS”) is an appropriate efficacy endpoint in the Company’s ongoing phase 3 VISION trial to support the submission of a New Drug Application (“NDA”) for full FDA approval of 177Lu-PSMA-617 for the treatment of metastatic castration-resistant prostate cancer. The updated trial protocol will reflect this determination on rPFS while retaining the final, fully powered overall survival (“OS”) analysis. The Company expects to complete the analysis of rPFS before the end of 2019 and to complete the analysis of OS near the end of 2020.

Under the updated VISION trial design, the two interim assessments previously planned at 50% and 70% of OS events will be replaced with a single assessment of rPFS. This assessment is expected to occur at approximately the same time that the first interim OS assessment would have occurred under the prior trial design and shortly after the time the trial is fully enrolled. If 177Lu-PSMA-617 meets the primary endpoint in the rPFS assessment, no unexpected safety issues arise, and it demonstrates no detriment in OS relative to the control arm, the Company intends to submit an NDA to seek full approval in the United States. The rPFS analysis will include approximately 450 rPFS events. Regardless of the outcome of the rPFS assessment, the Company intends to continue to follow patients in the VISION trial in order to assess the final OS alternative primary endpoint. An efficacy analysis of OS will be conducted at approximately 490 events. Other aspects of the VISION trial design, including patient treatment and assessments, trial size, overall duration, and follow up remain unchanged. Secondary endpoints include response evaluation criteria in solid tumors (“RECIST”) response and time to first symptomatic skeletal event.

The information contained in this Item 7.01 and in Item 9.01 of this Current Report (including Exhibit 99.1) is being furnished and shall not be deemed “filed” for purposes of Section 18 of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the "Exchange Act"), or incorporated by reference in any filing under the Exchange Act or the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, except as shall be expressly set forth by specific reference in such filing.

Factors that may cause such a difference include risks that the Company or independent investigators may experience delays in the initiation, availability of data from, or completion of clinical trials and development programs (whether caused by competition, adverse events, patient enrollment rates, shortage of clinical trial materials, regulatory issues or other factors); risks that suppliers or other third party contractors may not fulfill their contractual obligations on a timely basis or at all; risks that data from prior clinical trials may not be indicative of subsequent clinical trial results; risks related to the lack of safety and/or efficacy of the Company’s product candidates; risks that early stage pre-clinical data may not be indicative of subsequent data when expanded to additional pre-clinical models or to subsequent clinical data; risks that evolving competitive activity and intellectual property landscape may impair the Company's ability to capture value for the technology; risks related to the Company’s inability to maintain, protect and enhance its intellectual property; risks related to costs associated with defending intellectual property infringement and other claims; risks that expectations and estimates turn out to be incorrect, including estimates of the potential markets for the Company’s product candidates, estimates of the capacity of manufacturing and other facilities required to support its product candidates, supply chain issues of any type, including timing of supply, projected cash needs, projected timing of the use of cash, and expected future revenues, operations, expenditures and cash position. More information about the risks and uncertainties faced by the Company is contained in the Company’s periodic reports filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission. The Company disclaims any intention or obligation to update or revise any forward-looking statements, whether as a result of new information, future events or otherwise, except as required under applicable law.
