BeOne Medicines Announces Positive Topline Results for Sonrotoclax in Relapsed or Refractory Mantle Cell Lymphoma (MCL)
Study met its primary endpoint of overall response rate (ORR), demonstrating clinically meaningful responses in rare B-cell lymphoma with high unmet need
BeOne to submit data to global regulatory authorities for their review and potential approval
“For people with relapsed or refractory mantle cell lymphoma, the disease is aggressive, the treatment landscape fragmented, and the outcomes unacceptably poor. These topline results for sonrotoclax underscore its potential to deliver meaningful and durable responses and offer the first BCL2 inhibitor for patients with R/R MCL, if approved,� said Lai Wang, PhD, Global Head of R&D, BeOne Medicines. “These data add to the remarkable progress we’ve seen over the past five years in treating B-cell malignancies, and I’m proud that BeOne has played an impactful role in that transformation with our leading BTK inhibitor.�
The BGB-11417-201 () study is a global, multicenter, single-arm, open-label, Phase 1/2 study, which enrolled 125 adult patients with R/R MCL post-treatment with anti-CD20 therapy and a BTK inhibitor. In Part 1, 22 patients received daily treatment with either 160 mg or 320 mg of sonrotoclax to assess the safety and tolerability of sonrotoclax and identify the recommended dose for Part 2. In Part 2, 103 patients were enrolled to receive the recommended daily dose of sonrotoclax (320 mg), following ramp-up, to assess the efficacy and safety of sonrotoclax.
The study met its primary endpoint of overall response rate (ORR) as assessed by an independent review committee (IRC), demonstrating that treatment with sonrotoclax elicited clinically meaningful responses in this heavily pretreated population. The study also showed promising results across several secondary efficacy endpoints, including complete response (CR) rate, duration of response (DOR) and progression-free survival (PFS). The safety profile was generally well-tolerated, and the toxicities were manageable. These findings represent another important milestone in BeOne’s hematology franchise, which now includes three foundational medicines designed to address the ongoing and evolving needs of patients across B-cell malignancies.
BeOne plans to submit these data to the
About Mantle Cell Lymphoma
Mantle cell lymphoma (MCL) is a rare subtype of aggressive B-cell non-Hodgkin lymphoma (NHL)1 that develops in B-cells located in the mantle zone of the lymph nodes. MCL accounts for approximately
About Sonrotoclax (BGB-11417)
Sonrotoclax is a next-generation and potential best-in-class investigational inhibitor of B-cell lymphoma 2 (BCL2), which is one of several proteins that help cancer cells survive. It is part of a group of drugs called BH3 mimetics, which mimic natural cell death signals. Studies in the lab and during early drug development have shown that sonrotoclax is a highly potent and specific inhibitor of BCL2 with a short half-life and no drug accumulation. Sonrotoclax has shown promising clinical activity across a range of B-cell malignancies, and nearly 2,000 patients have been enrolled to date across the broad global development program. The
