Other Events.

On December7, 2016, Cascadian Therapeutics, Inc. (the Company)
announced that, following a recent meeting with the U.S. Food and
Drug Administration and discussions with the Companys external
steering committee, it has amended the HER2CLIMB Phase 2 clinical
trial of tucatinib (also known as ONT-380) by increasing the
sample size so that, if successful, the trial could serve as a
single pivotal study to support registration. This decision is
supported by the most recent data from the Companys ongoing Phase
1b study evaluating the same triplet combination therapy being
investigated in the amended Phase 2 trial, which is tucatinib in
combination with capecitabine and trastuzumab for patients with
metastatic or locally advanced HER2-positive breast cancer,
including patients with and without brain metastases.

Updated Phase 1b trial results for the triplet combination show
that the combination continues to be well tolerated, with the
updated median progression-free survival increasing to 7.8
months, an overall response rate of 61 percent and a median
duration of response of 10 months.

A copy of the press release issued by the Company related to this
announcement is attached hereto as Exhibit 99.1 and is
incorporated by reference.
