Celgene Corporation announced that data from more than 60 company-sponsored, cooperative group and investigator-initiated clinical studies evaluating Celgene agents will be presented at the American Society of Clinical Oncology Annual Meeting between June 1-5 in Chicago, Ill.
“Cancer research is at a critical point where advances in cellular immunotherapy may be able to drive previously unattainable advancements,” said Nadim Ahmed, President, Hematology and Oncology for Celgene. “The studies being shared at ASCO this year reinforce our position of being at the forefront of discoveries that can accelerate our understanding of disease mechanisms with the opportunity to harness a patient’s own immune system to maximize the potential of new therapeutic options for patients.”
In blood cancers, abstracts continue to support the role of Celgene’s IMiD® therapies as a foundation of multiple myeloma research. Multiple studies highlighting key Celgene research collaborations of investigational compounds will also be presented, including updated data from the first clinical study of anti-BCMA CAR T therapy bb2121 in multiple myeloma. In addition, results of the study evaluating the investigational R2 regimen (REVLIMID® (lenalidomide) and rituximab combination) as first-line therapy in previously-untreated follicular lymphoma patients will also be presented.
Experts will also share results from a study of JCAR017 (lisocabtagene maraleucel; liso-cel), an investigational CAR T cell therapy, in relapsed/refractory aggressive b-cell non-Hodgkin’s lymphoma. In solid tumors, data evaluating the investigational combination of atezolizumab with ABRAXANE® (nab-paclitaxel) + carboplatin will offer a first look at the clinical profile of an immunotherapy/chemotherapy combination in advanced squamous non-small cell lung cancer patients.
