-
83% ORR across all evaluable patients in the total non-Hodgkin's lymphoma (NHL) population (n=23)
81% objective response rate (ORR) and 44% complete response rate (CRR) in relapsed/refractory follicular lymphoma (FL), on par with the recently approved tafasitamab+R2 (rituximab + Revlimid) combination
Markedly lower rate of serious adverse events (14%) versus tafasitamab+R2 (34%), obinutuzumab+zanubrutinib (35%), rituximab+lenalidomide "R2" (29-32%), and epcoritamab+R2 (56%)
Only 3% TEAE (treatment emergent adverse events)-related treatment discontinuation, compared to 7%-19% across R2-based standard-of-care regimens
Acalabrutinib (Calquence®) with BI-1206 + rituximab boosted efficacy without increasing toxicity
LUND, SE / ACCESS Newswire / June 11, 2026 / BioInvent International AB ("BioInvent") (Nasdaq Stockholm:BINV), a leader in the discovery of novel immune-modulatory antibodies, today announced new clinical data from the BI-1206 triplet combination in relapsed/refractory (R/R) non-Hodgkin's lymphoma (NHL) to be presented in a poster at the 31st European Hematology Association (EHA2026) Congress, taking place June 11-14, 2026 in Stockholm, Sweden.
The poster summarizes key efficacy, safety, and mechanistic data from the ongoing Phase 1/2 study (NCT03571568) evaluating BI-1206 in combination with rituximab and Calquence (acalabrutinib) in patients with relapsed or refractory NHL, including follicular lymphoma. BI-1206 directly targets FcγRIIB-mediated rituximab internalization, a major driver of resistance to CD20-directed therapy, while leveraging BTK inhibition with acalabrutinib to enhance anti-tumor activity.
"These EHA data reinforce our conviction that BI-1206 has the potential to meaningfully change the treatment landscape for patients with relapsed or refractory follicular lymphoma," said Martin Welschof, Chief Executive Officer of BioInvent. "An 81% response rate that matches or exceeds recently approved combinations - coupled with a safety profile that is markedly more favorable than the widely used R2-based regimens - is exactly the kind of differentiated clinical profile we set out to build. BI-1206 is now the cornerstone of our NHL strategy, and we look forward to advancing this program toward pivotal development as we work to bring a compelling new option to patients who urgently need it."
