Item 8.01. Other Events

On December 3, 2015, Onconova Therapeutics, Inc. (the “Company”) received notification from the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (“FDA”) that a full clinical hold has been placed on the investigational new drug application for briciclib, one of the Company’s secondary clinical-stage product candidates, following a drug product lot testing failure due to visible particulates. The Company will be required to undertake appropriate remedial actions prior to re-initiating the clinical trial. The Company previously reported that enrollment in the next cohort of a Phase 1 clinical trial of briciclib was expected to resume upon completion of quality control testing of the drug product.

The Company’s current efforts are focused on its lead product candidate, rigosertib. The FDA action does not affect the Company’s plans with respect to the Phase 3 clinical trial of rigosertib IV in patients with higher-risk myelodysplastic syndromes (MDS) or any other rigosertib clinical trials.
