BeiGene to Present Extensive Hematology Data at EHA 2025, Showcasing BRUKINSA and Next-Generation Therapies

• BeiGene will present 31 abstracts at the European Hematology Association Congress in Milan, highlighting data from its BTK inhibitor BRUKINSA and investigational pipeline assets sonrotoclax and BGB-16673. • The company's next-generation pipeline assets have demonstrated promising clinical activity and safety profiles across multiple B-cell malignancies, with over 2,500 patients enrolled globally in clinical trials. • Four oral presentations will feature updated results from clinical studies of BGB-16673 in CLL/SLL and WM, as well as sonrotoclax in combination with BRUKINSA in R/R CLL/SLL and R/R MCL.

Promising Pipeline for Mantle Cell Lymphoma Treatment: 22+ Therapies Under Development by 20+ Companies

• DelveInsight's latest report reveals a robust pipeline with 20+ companies developing 22+ therapies for mantle cell lymphoma, highlighting significant advancement in treatment options for this rare blood cancer. • Recent approvals include AstraZeneca's CALQUENCE® (acalabrutinib) combination therapy for previously untreated MCL patients ineligible for stem cell transplantation, marking an important treatment milestone. • Key emerging therapies include Venetoclax (AbbVie), ADI-001 (Adicet Bio), and BGB-11417 (BeiGene), with multiple compounds targeting novel mechanisms of action across various clinical development stages.

B-Cell Lymphoma Pipeline Expands with 300+ Therapies in Development for 2025

• DelveInsight's latest report reveals a robust B-cell lymphoma pipeline with over 295 companies developing 300+ therapies, highlighting significant industry investment in this area. • Several major pharmaceutical companies including BeiGene, Celgene, Hoffmann-La Roche, and Allogene Therapeutics have initiated pivotal late-stage clinical trials for novel B-cell lymphoma treatments in March 2025. • Emerging therapies include CAR-T cell approaches, bispecific antibodies, and novel targeted agents, with many incorporating dual-targeting mechanisms to overcome resistance seen with single-target therapies.

DARZALEX Dominates Multiple Myeloma Market with $11.6 Billion in Global Sales

• DARZALEX (daratumumab), Janssen's CD38-targeting monoclonal antibody, has transformed multiple myeloma treatment across all lines of therapy, generating $11.6 billion in worldwide sales in 2024. • The drug's success stems from its versatility in combination regimens, expanded approvals for both newly diagnosed and relapsed/refractory patients, and the introduction of DARZALEX FASPRO, a convenient subcutaneous formulation. • Despite growing competition from emerging therapies like Sanofi's SARCLISA and novel BCMA-targeting agents, DARZALEX maintains market leadership through first-mover advantage and robust clinical efficacy data.

FDA Approves Tevimbra-Chemotherapy Combination for First-Line Treatment of Advanced Esophageal Squamous Cell Carcinoma

• The FDA has approved BeiGene's Tevimbra (tislelizumab-jsgr) in combination with platinum-containing chemotherapy for first-line treatment of adults with unresectable or metastatic esophageal squamous cell carcinoma whose tumors express PD-L1. • In the pivotal RATIONALE-306 trial, patients treated with Tevimbra plus chemotherapy demonstrated a median overall survival of 16.8 months compared to 9.6 months with chemotherapy alone, representing a 34% reduction in risk of death. • This marks BeiGene's third FDA approval in less than a year, following previous approvals for Tevimbra in second-line ESCC and first-line gastric/gastroesophageal junction cancers, highlighting the company's expanding oncology portfolio.

BeiGene's Brukinsa and Novel Assets Show Promise in CLL Treatment at ASH 2024

• BRUKINSA demonstrated a 71% reduction in progression or death risk compared to bendamustine-rituximab in treatment-naïve CLL patients over a 5-year follow-up. • Sonrotoclax combined with BRUKINSA showed a 99% overall response rate in treatment-naïve CLL, with no progression observed after 1.5 years. • BGB-16673, a BTK degrader, exhibited a 94% overall response rate in treatment-resistant CLL, highlighting its potential in addressing unmet needs.

Acalabrutinib Plus Venetoclax Significantly Improves PFS in Untreated CLL

• The phase 3 AMPLIFY trial demonstrated that acalabrutinib plus venetoclax, with or without obinutuzumab, significantly improved progression-free survival (PFS) in treatment-naive CLL patients. • The doublet and triplet regimens reduced the risk of disease progression or death by 35% and 58%, respectively, compared to chemoimmunotherapy. • The highest rates of undetectable minimal residual disease (uMRD) were observed in patients treated with the triplet regimen of acalabrutinib, venetoclax, and obinutuzumab. • The combination provides a chemotherapy-free, fixed-duration option for previously untreated CLL, offering improved outcomes and flexibility in managing the disease.

FDA Approves Revumenib for Relapsed/Refractory KMT2A-Rearranged Acute Leukemia

• The FDA has approved revumenib (Revuforj; Syndax Pharmaceuticals) as a first-in-class therapy for relapsed or refractory acute leukemia with KMT2A rearrangements. • Revumenib, a menin inhibitor, targets the interaction between menin and KMT2A protein, which is crucial for the leukemogenic process in KMT2Ar leukemia. • Clinical trials showed revumenib significantly improved remission rates compared to historical controls, with a complete remission rate of 22.8% in the AUGMENT-101 trial. • Pharmacists play a vital role in optimizing dosing, monitoring for adverse events like QTc prolongation and differentiation syndrome, and ensuring patient safety.

Mantle Cell Lymphoma Pipeline Shows Promise with Novel Targeted Therapies

• The Mantle Cell Lymphoma (MCL) pipeline is robust, featuring over 20 companies developing more than 22 therapies. • Key players like AbbVie and BeiGene are advancing novel drugs, including BTK inhibitors and Bcl-2 inhibitors, to improve MCL treatment. • Clinical trials are evaluating promising therapies such as Venetoclax, ADI-001, and Orelabrutinib across various phases. • Recent data highlights potential for combination therapies and novel mechanisms like BTK degradation in MCL treatment.
