- 27 scientific presentations, including long-term data from Calquence in mantle cell lymphoma and updated early-phase trial results in chronic lymphocytic leukaemia
- New data on six medicines and potential new medicines across a variety of blood cancers demonstrate breadth of haematology portfolio
CAMBRIDGE, 29-Nov-2018 — /EuropaWire/ — AstraZeneca, together with Acerta Pharma, its haematology research and development centre of excellence, and MedImmune, its global biologics research and development arm, will present 27 abstracts, including six oral presentations, at the 2018 American Society of Hematology (ASH) Annual Meeting & Exposition in San Diego, USA, December 1-4.
New data include presentations on Calquence (acalabrutinib) and Lumoxiti (moxetumomab pasudotox-tdfk), as well as research findings from AstraZeneca’s early pipeline across a variety of blood cancers.
Dave Fredrickson, Executive Vice President, Head of Oncology Business Unit, said: “In less than a year, we have launched two innovative medicines to treat blood cancers. At this year’s ASH, we will continue our momentum by presenting new results from two important trials of Calquence in mantle cell lymphoma and chronic lymphocytic leukaemia and further showcase our broad pipeline with data from our novel MCL1 and CDK9 inhibitors.”
Updated results for Calquence in chronic lymphocytic leukaemia (CLL)
An oral presentation will focus on new three-year follow-up efficacy and safety results (median 33 months) from the ongoing Phase I/II ACE-CL-001 clinical trial, assessing Calquence monotherapy in a cohort of treatment-naive patients with CLL (Abstract #692).
These data expand on findings previously reported and highlight the promising overall and durable response rates and safety profile in this patient population.
New long-term Calquence data in previously-treated mantle cell lymphoma (MCL)
Long-term follow up data (median 26.3 months) being presented for Calquence further confirm results from the Phase II ACE-LY-004 clinical trial in relapsed or refractory mantle cell lymphoma (Abstract #2876). Initial, pre-planned analysis of this trial served as the basis for the accelerated approval of Calquence for the treatment of adult patients with MCL who have received at least one prior therapy by the US Food and Drug Administration (FDA) in October 2017.
New data from recently-approved Lumoxiti
Results will be presented from trials of Lumoxiti in relapsed or refractory hairy cell leukaemia which evaluated whether minimal residual disease eradication, as measured by different quantitative testing approaches, is associated with improved complete response duration (Abstract #1861).
Early pipeline offers new insights into MCL1 inhibition and resistance
New data from AstraZeneca’s early haematology pipeline will be presented, including four oral presentations on different potential new medicines across multiple blood cancers. The presentations feature new insights into the therapeutic potential of inhibiting the anti-apoptotic protein, myeloid cell leukaemia-1 (MCL1) target.
Key pipeline data that will be presented includes preclinical activity of the novel MCL1 inhibitor AZD5991 in multiple myeloma (Abstract #952), findings on the potential to overcome MCL1 resistance in multiple myeloma (Abstract #472), and data on the influence of myeloma patient-derived MCL1 point mutations in MCL1-inhibitor function (Abstract #951). Data will also be presented on MCL1/CDK9 targeting by AZD5991 and the CDK9 inhibitor AZD4573 (Abstract #768).
