Key Points: 
  • In addition, the post- transplant regimen of eprenetapopt and azacitidine was well tolerated among patients in the clinical trial.
  • The post-transplant RFS and OS data with eprenetapopt and azacitidine maintenance therapy in these very difficult-to-treat TP53 mutant MDS and AML patients are incredibly exciting, said trial principal investigator Asmita Mishra, M.D., of the H. Lee Moffitt Cancer Center and Research Institute.
  • Post-transplant maintenance therapy with eprenetapopt and azacitidine could, if approved, represent a new treatment paradigm that meaningfully improves outcomes for these patients with limited treatment options.
  • A Phase 1/2 clinical trial of eprenetapopt with venetoclax and azacitidine for the frontline treatment of TP53 mutant AML met the primary efficacy endpoint of complete remission.

FDA Grants Breakthrough Therapy Designation for Venclexta in Combination With Azacitidine for the Treatment of Patients With Myelodysplastic Syndromes

Wednesday, July 21, 2021

Genentech, a member of the Roche Group (SIX: RO, ROG; OTCQX: RHHBY), today announced that Venclexta® (venetoclax) in combination with azacitidine has been granted Breakthrough Therapy Designation (BTD) by the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) for the treatment of adult patients with previously untreated intermediate, high- and very high-risk myelodysplastic syndromes (MDS) based on the revised International Prognostic Scoring System (IPSS-R). MDS are a rare group of blood cancers that gradually affect the ability of the bone marrow to produce normal blood cells. This can lead to weakness, frequent infections, anemia and debilitating fatigue that can profoundly affect a person’s quality of life. In some cases, MDS can also progress into acute myeloid leukemia (AML). Every year in the United States, approximately 10,000 people are diagnosed with MDS, and the median survival for those with higher-risk MDS is approximately 18 months.

Key Points: 
  • We are pleased that the FDA has granted Venclexta its sixth Breakthrough Therapy Designation in recognition of its potential to improve outcomes for people with MDS in combination with azacitidine.
  • The patients doctor will do blood tests to check for TLS when the patient first starts treatment and during treatment with Venclexta.
  • Patients should not receive a live vaccine before, during, or after treatment with Venclexta, until the patients doctor tells them it is okay.
  • The patients doctor will do blood tests to check their blood counts during treatment with Venclexta and may pause dosing.
