FDA to review Array BioPharma new drug applications, company proposes public stock offering

BOULDER — Just a day after Array BioPharma (Nasdaq: ARRY) stocks were buoyed by positive results from its clinical trials, the U.S. Food and Drug Administration accepted for review its new drug applications.

The applications are for the combined use of the drugs binimetinib and encorafenib to treat patients with metastatic melanoma. The target action date is set for June 30, 2018, for both applications.

Array filed its submissions in June 2017 based on findings in clinical trials.
