“I am pleased to welcome Lucinda to MorphoSys as our new Chief Financial Officer,” said Marc Cluzel, M.D., Ph.D., Chairman of the MorphoSys Supervisory Board. “Lucinda will bring a strong skill set to MorphoSys with her broad biotech experience in corporate roles, as an analyst and investment professional, and the impact she has made in leading finance, strategy and investor relations divisions.”

Her strategic business acumen, entrepreneurial mindset and broad network will be a huge asset to MorphoSys as we drive our best-in-class late-stage oncology pipeline forward.”

“I am excited to join MorphoSys at such a pivotal and important time. The company is close to releasing Phase 3 data and preparing for the potenital launch of its lead asset, pelabresib, which has the potential to be a game changer for patients with myleofibrosis,” said Lucinda Crabtree. “MorphoSys has successfully honed its focus on oncology and has a strong cash position to execute on their great opportunities.”

About Pelabresib

Pelabresib (CPI-0610) is an investigational selective small molecule designed to promote anti-tumor activity by inhibiting the function of bromodomain and extra-terminal domain (BET) proteins to decrease the expression of abnormally expressed genes in cancer. Pelabresib is being investigated as a treatment for myelofibrosis and has not yet been evaluated or approved by any regulatory authorities.


About Myelofibrosis

Myelofibrosis is a type of bone marrow cancer that causes extensive scarring in the bone marrow, which disrupts the body’s normal production of healthy blood cells. The result is a reduction in red blood cells, which can cause weakness and fatigue, and in platelets, which increases the risk of bleeding due to deficient clotting. Myelofibrosis often causes an enlarged spleen, significantly impacting a patient's quality of life. It is most often diagnosed in people older than 50 and can occur on its own (called primary myelofibrosis) or because of another bone marrow disorder.
