"Tislelizumab serves as a cornerstone in BeiGene's portfolio for solid tumors, showing promise across diverse tumor types such as NSCLC, where significant needs remain unaddressed at every stage," noted Mark Lanasa, M.D., Ph.D., Head of Solid Tumor Division at BeiGene.

Mark Lanasa further noted, "The EC's recent approval signifies a key milestone for tislelizumab, marking its second authorization within this region. It is now approved for both NSCLC and for the treatment of locally advanced or metastatic esophageal squamous cell carcinoma in the European Union. Additionally, its use as a second-line treatment for ESCC was recently cleared by the U.S. FDA, advancing our mission to deliver this innovative treatment to a broader patient base globally."

Tislelizumab is combined with carboplatin and either paclitaxel or nab-paclitaxel for the initial therapy of adult patients with squamous NSCLC, who present with locally advanced disease or non-operable tumors, or who have metastatic disease.

Additionally, the drug is used in combination with pemetrexed and platinum-based chemotherapy for treating adult patients with non-squamous NSCLC, where tumors exhibit a PD-L1 expression in 50% of the cells, excluding those with EGFR or ALK mutations, and who have advanced disease stages unsuitable for surgery or platinum-based chemoradiation.

Authorized under the name TIZVENI for these NSCLC usages, BeiGene intends to amalgamate these with the second-line ESCC indication into the TEVIMBRA brand. Launches in the initial EU territories are expected in late 2024. TEVIMBRA has gained approval in the U.S. and EU for treating advanced or metastatic ESCC following previous chemotherapy. It is currently under assessment by the European Medicines Agency and the U.S. FDA as a primary treatment option for patients with inoperable or recurrent, locally advanced, or metastatic ESCC, and for initial treatment of gastric or gastroesophageal junction cancers.
