Cevostamab

Application is based on data from the phase III STARGLO study where Columvi plus chemotherapy showed a statistically significant and clinically meaningful improvement in overall survival1,2 This regimen could provide an off-the-shelf, fixed-duration treatment option for patients to start soon after diagnosis, which is important for those who are at high-risk of disease progressionImproving survival outcomes is needed for people with an aggressive disease like relapsed or refractory DLBCL, especially those who aren’t eligible for transplant3 Basel, 5 December 2024 - Roche (SIX: RO, ROG; OTCQX: RHHBY) announced today that the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) has accepted the company’s supplemental Biologics License Application (sBLA) for Columvi® (glofitamab) in combination with gemcitabine and oxaliplatin (GemOx) for the treatment of people with relapsed or refractory (R/R) diffuse large B-cell lymphoma (DLBCL) who have received at least one prior line of therapy and are not candidates for autologous stem cell transplant. The FDA is expected to make a decision on approval by 20 July 2025. The standard second-line therapy for R/R DLBCL patients has historically been high-dose chemotherapy followed by stem-cell transplant, however, not all patients are a candidate due to age or coexisting medical conditions. While newer therapies are becoming available, barriers remain for many and alternative treatment options are needed for these patients to improve survival outcomes.3 “For people with aggressive lymphomas like DLBCL, timely intervention with effective therapies can be crucial to reduce the risk of disease progression and improve long-term outcomes,” said Levi Garraway, MD, PhD, Roche’s Chief Medical Officer and Head of Global Product Development. “We are encouraged by the overall survival benefit seen with this Columvi combination and hope it can become an important treatment option for those who are in need of alternative therapies.” The sBLA is based on results from the phase III STARGLO study, which were presented at the European Hematology Association Congress earlier this year and recently published in The Lancet.1,2 Data showed Columvi in combination with GemOx demonstrated a statistically significant and clinically meaningful overall survival (OS) improvement versus MabThera®/Rituxan® (rituximab) and GemOx (R-GemOx), making it the first CD20xCD3 bispecific antibody to show a survival benefit in DLBCL in a randomised phase III trial.1,2 Safety of the combination appeared consistent with the known safety profiles of the individual medicines.1,2 Data from the STARGLO study have been submitted to other health authorities around the world for approval consideration, including the European Medicines Agency. Columvi is part of Roche’s industry-leading CD20xCD3 bispecific antibody programme, which has seen more than 3,000 patients treated in clinical trials and more than 2,600 treated in clinical practice to date.4 Columvi was the first fixed-duration bispecific antibody to receive accelerated approval by the U.S. FDA and conditional marketing authorisation in the EU as a monotherapy to treat people with R/R DLBCL after two or more lines of systemic therapy and is currently approved in more than 50 countries around the world. As part of Roche’s efforts to elevate treatment standards in the earlier stages of DLBCL, where there is the best opportunity to improve long-term outcomes and prevent relapse, Columvi is also being investigated in combination with Polivy® (polatuzumab vedotin), MabThera/Rituxan, cyclophosphamide, doxorubicin and prednisone (R-CHP) in previously untreated DLBCL in the phase III SKYGLO study. About the STARGLO study5The STARGLO study [GO41944; NCT04408638] is a phase III, multicentre, open-label, randomised study evaluating the efficacy and safety of Columvi® (glofitamab) in combination with gemcitabine plus oxaliplatin (GemOx) versus MabThera®/Rituxan® (rituximab) in combination with GemOx (R-GemOx) in patients with relapsed or refractory diffuse large B-cell lymphoma who have received at least one prior line of therapy and who are not candidates for autologous stem cell transplant, or who have received two or more prior lines of therapy. Preclinical research indicated an increased antitumour effect when combining Columvi with GemOx over GemOx alone, so the STARGLO study was initiated to further explore the potential complementary effects of the treatment combination. Outcome measures include overall survival (OS; primary endpoint), progression-free survival, complete response rate, objective response rate, duration of objective response (secondary endpoints), and safety and tolerability. In the primary analysis (conducted after a median follow-up of 11.3 months) patients treated with Columvi plus GemOx lived significantly longer, with a 41% reduction in the risk of death (hazard ratio [HR]=0.59, 95% CI: 0.40-0.89, p=0.011) versus R-GemOx.1,2 Median OS was not reached with the Columvi regimen versus nine months for R-GemOx.1,2 Safety of the combination appeared consistent with the known safety profiles of the individual medicines.1,2 Adverse event (AE) rates were higher with the Columvi combination versus R-GemOx, noting higher median number of cycles received with the Columvi combination (11 versus 4).1,2 One of the most common AEs was cytokine release syndrome, which was generally low grade (Any Grade: 44.2%, Grade 1: 31.4%, Grade 2: 10.5%, Grade 3: 2.3%) and occurred primarily in Cycle 1.1,2 STARGLO is intended as a confirmatory study to convert the accelerated approval of Columvi in the US and conditional marketing authorisation in the EU to full approvals for people with R/R DLBCL after two or more lines of systemic therapy based on the pivotal phase I/II NP30179 study [NCT03075696]. About Columvi® (glofitamab)Columvi is a CD20xCD3 T-cell engaging bispecific antibody designed to target CD3 on the surface of T-cells and CD20 on the surface of B-cells. Columvi was designed with a novel 2:1 structural format. This T-cell engaging bispecific antibody is engineered to have one region that binds to CD3, a protein on T-cells, a type of immune cell, and two regions that bind to CD20, a protein on B-cells, which can be healthy or malignant. This dual-targeting brings the T-cell in close proximity to the B-cell, activating the release of cancer cell-killing proteins from the T-cell. Columvi is part of Roche’s broad and industry-leading CD20xCD3 T-cell-engaging bispecific antibody clinical development programme that also includes Lunsumio® (mosunetuzumab), which aims to provide tailored treatment options that suit the diverse needs, preferences, and experiences of people with blood cancers and healthcare systems. Roche is investigating Columvi as a monotherapy and in combination with other medicines for the treatment of diffuse large B-cell lymphoma and mantle cell lymphoma. About diffuse large B-cell lymphoma (DLBCL)DLBCL is the most common form of non-Hodgkin lymphoma (NHL), accounting for about one in three cases of NHL.6 DLBCL is an aggressive (fast-growing) type of NHL.6 While it is generally responsive to treatment in the frontline, as many as 40% of people will relapse or have refractory disease, at which time salvage therapy options are limited and survival is short.7 Improving treatments earlier in the course of the disease and providing much needed alternative options could help to improve long-term outcomes. Approximately 160,000 people worldwide are diagnosed with DLBCL each year.6,8 About Roche in haematologyRoche has been developing medicines for people with malignant and non-malignant blood diseases for more than 25 years; our experience and knowledge in this therapeutic area runs deep.

SOUTH SAN FRANCISCO, Calif.--( BUSINESS WIRE )--Genentech, a member of the Roche Group (SIX: RO, ROG; OTCQX: RHHBY) announced today that it will present more than 40 abstracts across nine blood disorders at the 66th American Society of Hematology (ASH) Annual Meeting and Exposition, held December 7-10, 2024 in San Diego, California. The data underscore Genentech’s commitment to advance patient outcomes in lymphoma with long-term follow-up of its approved medicines Polivy ® (polatuzumab vedotin-piiq), Lunsumio ® (mosunetuzumab-axgb) and Columvi ® (glofitamab-gxbm) as well as new investigational combination data. Key presentations include: Five-year data from the Phase III POLARIX study (abstract #469) reinforce the potential of Polivy in combination with Rituxan ® (rituximab), cyclophosphamide, doxorubicin and prednisone (R-CHP) to provide durable and lasting remissions and for the first time show a positive trend in overall survival (OS) for people with first-line diffuse large B-cell lymphoma (DLBCL), an area that previously had little advancement in nearly two decades. Extended follow-up data of up to four years from the pivotal GO29781 study of Lunsumio (abstract #4407) and NP30179 study of Columvi (abstract #865) show long-lasting remissions and immune system recovery after the end of treatment, supporting the use of fixed-duration bispecific antibodies for third-line or later (3L+) follicular lymphoma (FL) and DLBCL, respectively. First presentation of data for a subcutaneous formulation of Lunsumio monotherapy from the pivotal Phase II GO29781 study (abstract #1645) show high rates of deep and durable responses and low rates and severity of cytokine release syndrome in people with 3L+ FL. Subcutaneously administered Lunsumio could further improve the patient experience by combining shorter administration time with the existing benefits of a fixed-duration and outpatient therapy. New patient-reported outcomes data from the Phase III STARGLO study (abstract #5132) indicate comparable health-related quality of life between treatment arms, despite higher median number of cycles received with the Columvi combination (11 versus 4). Together with the significant improvement in OS observed in the study, these data support the potential benefit for patients with second-line or later DLBCL. New and updated data from investigational study combinations of Polivy with bispecific antibodies Lunsumio and Columvi in relapsed or refractory DLBCL, including the Phase Ib/II NP39488 (abstract #988) and Phase II GO40516 (abstract #989) studies, add to the growing body of evidence demonstrating the potential of novel bispecific antibody/Polivy combinations in earlier treatment lines, and support their ongoing Phase III development.

About Polivy ® (polatuzumab vedotin-piiq) Polivy is a first-in-class anti-CD79b antibody-drug conjugate (ADC). The CD79b protein is expressed specifically in the majority of B cells, an immune cell impacted in some types of non-Hodgkin’s lymphoma (NHL), making it a promising target for the development of new therapies. Polivy binds to cancer cells such as CD79b and destroys these B cells through the delivery of an anti-cancer agent, which is thought to minimize the effects on normal cells. Polivy is being developed by Genentech using Seagen ADC technology and is currently being investigated for the treatment of several types of NHL. Polivy U.S. Indication Polivy is a prescription medicine used with other medicines (a rituximab product, cyclophosphamide, doxorubicin, and prednisone) as a first treatment for adults who have moderate to high risk diffuse large B-cell lymphoma (DLBCL), not otherwise specified (NOS) or high-grade B-cell lymphoma (HGBL). Polivy is a prescription medicine used with other medicines, bendamustine and a rituximab product, to treat DLBCL in adults who have progressed after at least 2 prior therapies. Important Safety Information Possible serious side effects Everyone reacts differently to Polivy therapy, so it’s important to know what the side effects are.

About Lunsumio ® (mosunetuzumab-axgb) Lunsumio is a first-in-class CD20xCD3 T-cell engaging bispecific antibody designed to target CD20 on the surface of B cells and CD3 on the surface of T cells. This dual targeting activates and redirects a patient’s existing T cells to engage and eliminate target B cells by releasing cytotoxic proteins into the B cells. A robust clinical development program for Lunsumio is ongoing, investigating the molecule as a monotherapy and in combination with other medicines, for the treatment of people with B-cell non-Hodgkin’s lymphomas, including follicular lymphoma and diffuse large B-cell lymphoma, and other blood cancers. Lunsumio U.S. Indication Lunsumio (mosunetuzumab-axgb) is a prescription medicine used to treat adults with follicular lymphoma whose cancer has come back or did not respond to previous treatment, and who have already received two or more treatments for their cancer. It is not known if Lunsumio is safe and effective in children. The conditional approval of Lunsumio is based on response rate. There are ongoing studies to establish how well the drug works. What is the most important information I should know about Lunsumio? Lunsumio may cause Cytokine Release Syndrome (CRS), a serious side effect that is common during treatment with Lunsumio and can also be severe or life-threatening. Get medical help right away if you develop any signs or symptoms of CRS at any time, including: fever of 100.4°F (38°C) or higher chills low blood pressure fast or irregular heartbeat tiredness or weakness difficulty breathing headache confusion feeling anxious dizziness or light-headedness nausea vomiting Due to the risk of CRS, you will receive Lunsumio on a “step-up dosing schedule.” The step-up dosing schedule is when you receive smaller “step-up” doses of Lunsumio on Day 1 and Day 8 of your first cycle of treatment You will receive a higher dose of Lunsumio on Day 15 of your first cycle of treatment If your dose of Lunsumio is delayed for any reason, you may need to repeat the step-up dosing schedule Before each dose in Cycle 1 and Cycle 2, you will receive medicines to help reduce your risk of CRS Your healthcare provider will check you for CRS during treatment with Lunsumio and may treat you in a hospital if you develop signs and symptoms of CRS. Your healthcare provider may temporarily stop or completely stop your treatment with Lunsumio, if you have severe side effects. What are the possible side effects of Lunsumio?

About Columvi ® (glofitamab-gxbm) Columvi is a CD20xCD3 T-cell engaging bispecific antibody designed to target CD3 on the surface of T cells and CD20 on the surface of B cells. Columvi was designed with a novel 2:1 structural format. This T-cell engaging bispecific antibody is engineered to have one region that binds to CD3, a protein on T cells, a type of immune cell, and two regions that bind to CD20, a protein on B cells, which can be healthy or malignant. This dual-targeting brings the T cell in close proximity to the B cell, activating the release of cancer cell-killing proteins from the T cell. A clinical development program for Columvi is ongoing, investigating the molecule as a monotherapy and in combination with other medicines for the treatment of people with B-cell non-Hodgkin’s lymphomas, including diffuse large B-cell lymphoma and other blood cancers. Columvi U.S. Indication Columvi (glofitamab-gxbm) is a prescription medicine to treat adults with certain types of diffuse large B-cell lymphoma (DLBCL) or large B-cell lymphoma (LBCL) that has come back (relapsed) or that did not respond to previous treatment (refractory), and who have received 2 or more prior treatments for their cancer.
