FDA approves eflornithine for adult and pediatric patients with high-risk neuroblastoma
First FDA approval of a therapy intended to reduce the risk of relapse in pediatric patients with HRNB
Efficacy was evaluated in an externally controlled trial comparing outcomes from Study 3b (investigational arm) and Study ANBL0032 (clinical trial-derived external control arm)
EFS HR was 0.48 (95% CI: 0.27, 0.85) and OS HR was 0.32 (95% CI: 0.15, 0.70)

CMA based on clinically meaningful response rates, duration of response, and safety from the Phase 2 MagnetisMM-3 trial
ORR 61.0% (75/123); 35.0% ≥complete response. Fifty responders switched to biweekly dosing, and 40 (80.0%) improved or maintained their response for ≥6 months
With median follow-up of 14.7 months, median duration of response, PFS & OS (secondary endpoints) have not been reached

FDA grants accelerated approval to pirtobrutinib for 3L CLL/SLL
Approval based on BRUIN (NCT03740529], an open-label, single-arm, multicohort trial (N=108)
ORR was 72% (95% CI: 63, 80), DOR was 12.2 months (95% CI: 9.3, 14.7). All responses were partial responses
FDA approves repotrectinib for ROS1-positive non-small cell lung cancer
FDA approves repotrectinib for ROS1-positive non-small cell lung cancer
➤ First FDA approval that includes patients with ROS1-positive NSCLC who have previously received a ROS1 tyrosine kinase inhibitor (TKI), in addition to patients who are TKI naïve
➤ Traditional approval was granted on one single-arm study, utilizing high and durable responses for approval - 79% ORR in the ROS1 TKI naïve group, median DOR was 34.1 months; 38% ORR in those receiving prior treatment with a ROS1 inhibitor, median DOR 14.8 months
Truqap (capivasertib) plus Faslodex approved in the US for patients with advanced HR-positive breast cancer
Truqap (capivasertib) plus Faslodex approved in the US for patients with advanced HR-positive breast cancer
➤ First-in-class AKT inhibitor has potential to reshape treatment for breast cancer patients with specific biomarker alterations (PIK3CA, AKT1 or PTEN)
➤ Truqap+Faslodex reduced the risk of disease progression or death by 50% vs.Faslodex alone in patients with tumours harbouring PI3K/AKT pathway biomarker alterations (HR 0.50, 95% confidence interval 0.38-0.65; p=<0.001; median PFS 7.3 versus 3.1 months)

BeiGene Receives European Commission Approval for BRUKINSA® (zanubrutinib) for the Treatment of Relapsed or Refractory Follicular Lymphoma
BRUKINSA is the first and only BTK inhibitor approved for follicular lymphoma in the European Union
ORR was 69.0% in the BRUKINSA plus obinutuzumab arm versus 45.8% in the obinutuzumab arm (P = 0.0012), with a median follow-up of approximately 20 months
Responses were durable with an 18-month DOR of 69.3% in the BRUKINSA combination arm
Median PFS was 28.0 months vs. 10.4 months for obinutuzumab alone (HR: 0.50 [95% CI: 0.33, 0.75]; P = 0.0007)
FDA approves first novel PD-1 developed in China; US trial to come post-approval
FDA approves first novel PD-1 developed in China; US trial to come post-approval
100% of pivotal study participants were Asian. Approval comes with a post-marketing commitment to conduct a clinical trial enrolling 100 patients in the U.S. and Canada, that includes a sufficient representation of patients in racial and ethnic minority subgroups and is reflective of the U.S. population of patients with nasopharyngeal carcinoma (NPC)
Loqtorzi (toripalimab) is the first FDA approved treatment for nasopharyngeal carcinoma
Developed by Shanghai Junshi Biosciences in collaboration with Coherus BioSciences, Loqtorzi becomes the first Chinese PD-1 to gain FDA approval

European approval for AbbVie's TEPKINLY® (epcoritamab) for Adults with Relapsed or Refractory Diffuse Large B-cell Lymphoma
TEPKINLY® (epcoritamab) is the first and only subcutaneous bispecific antibody approved as a monotherapy for adult patients with relapsed or refractory diffuse large B-cell lymphoma after two or more lines of systemic therapy
Conditional marketing authorization approval from the European Commission is supported by data from the pivotal Phase 1/2 EPCORE™ NHL-1 clinical trial
ORR 62% & a CR rate of 39%; median DOR was 15.5 months (range: 9.7, not reached)
