Puma Biotechnology Initiates a Managed Access Program for PB272 (Neratinib) Outside the United States

Caligor Opco LLC to provide regulatory, logistical and supply chain
support

LOS ANGELES–(BUSINESS WIRE)–Puma Biotechnology, Inc. (NYSE: PBYI), a biopharmaceutical company, has
initiated a Managed Access Program for PB272 (neratinib). Managed access
programs provide physicians and patients access to medicines when there
are limited or no other therapeutic options available.

Puma’s Managed Access Program for neratinib will enable participation
from countries outside the United States, including European Union
Member States, where permitted by applicable rules, procedures and
regulatory authorities. The program will provide access to neratinib for
the treatment of early stage HER2-positive breast cancer (extended
adjuvant setting), HER2-positive metastatic breast cancer and
HER2-mutated solid tumors. Patients must not be able to participate in
any ongoing neratinib clinical trial to qualify for Puma’s managed
access program. Patients in the managed access program will be given
neratinib and will be instructed to take prophylactic high dose
loperamide during treatment to manage neratinib-related diarrhea.

Puma Biotechnology has partnered with Caligor Opco LLC, which
specializes in early access to medicines, to implement and oversee the
Managed Access Program for neratinib.

“The guiding principle behind our Managed Access Program is to provide
neratinib — through physician-requested access — to patients with
significant unmet medical needs as soon as practical, in a manner that
is safe, ethical, compliant and effective,” said Alan H. Auerbach, Chief
Executive Officer and President of Puma. “With Caligor managing the
day-to-day operations of the program, we can direct our efforts toward
our regulatory filings and implementing our plans for commercialization.”

Questions or inquiries regarding the Neratinib Managed Access Program
should be directed to neratinib@caligorrx.com.

in HER2. Further information about Puma Biotechnology can be found at www.pumabiotechnology.com.
