The safety profile of tislelizumab was consistent with that observed in previous trials, with no new safety signals identified with the addition of chemotherapy.

Key Points: 
  • The safety profile of tislelizumab was consistent with that observed in previous trials, with no new safety signals identified with the addition of chemotherapy.
  • The addition of tislelizumab to chemotherapy significantly extended the overall survival for previously untreated patients with advanced or metastatic gastric or gastroesophageal junction adenocarcinoma whose tumor expressed PD-L1.
  • Secondary endpoints include progression-free survival (PFS), overall response rate (ORR), duration of response (DoR), and safety.
  • BeiGene has initiated or completed 17 potentially registration-enabling clinical trials in China and globally, including 13 Phase 3 trials and four pivotal Phase 2 trials.
