BeiGene Highlights Promising Data from Blood Cancer Portfolio and Pipeline at the European Hematology Association Hybrid Congress

BeiGene (NASDAQ: BGNE; HKEX: 06160; SSE: 688235), a global biotechnology company, today announced the presentation of new data from its broad blood cancer portfolio of approved therapies and promising early-stage pipeline products at the 2023 European Hematology Association (EHA) Hybrid Congress. BeiGene has ten accepted abstracts at EHA, which is taking place from June 8-11 in Frankfurt, Germany.

“We are excited to share the latest research from our robust hematology portfolio and pipeline, including new results that further deepen our understanding of BRUKINSA across a number of hematologic malignancies,” said Lai Wang, Ph.D., Global Head of R&D at BeiGene. “These data underscore our ongoing commitment to delivering treatments that have the potential to improve the lives of those living with blood cancers.”

Expanding the Evidence Base for BRUKINSA

With extended follow-up from the pivotal, Phase 3 SEQUOIA study, BRUKINSA remains an important frontline treatment option for chronic lymphocytic leukemia (CLL) or small lymphocytic lymphoma (SLL). BRUKINSA continued to demonstrate clinically meaningful efficacy in patients with treatment-naïve CLL/SLL without del(17p). In addition to the previously reported benefit in patients with the unmutated immunoglobulin heavy chain (IGHV) gene, longer follow-up now shows benefit in those with mutated IGHV as well, and patients with del(17p) continue to demonstrate progression-free survival (PFS) benefit consistent with the randomized cohort. BRUKINSA continues to be well tolerated over time, with low rates of treatment discontinuation. (Abstract #P639)

In post-hoc analyses, safety data were pooled from ten clinical trials of BRUKINSA monotherapy in patients with certain B-cell malignancies, including from the Phase 3 ASPEN and ALPINE trials, which compared BRUKINSA head-to-head with ibrutinib. These pooled safety analyses demonstrate that BRUKINSA is generally well tolerated, as BRUKINSA adverse events were generally mild-to-moderate in severity and tended not to lead to treatment discontinuation. Prevalence of adverse events of special interest (AESI) generally trended down over time without emergence of new safety signals, supporting BRUKINSA as a viable long-term treatment option.
