Other Hematology/Oncology – key highlights
Momentum is strong behind the U.S. launch of Monjuvi (tafasitamab-cxix), with good uptake in both academic and community settings and illustrated by the market share gained in the first several months since launch.
The Phase 3 inMIND trial evaluating tafasitamab plus lenalidomide and rituximab (R-squared) versus R-squared in patients with relapsed or refractory follicular or marginal zone lymphoma is open for recruitment, and the Phase 3 frontMIND trial of tafasitamab plus lenalidomide and R-CHOP versus R-CHOP as a first-line treatment in patients with DLBCL is expected to open in the coming months.
The U.S. launch of Pemazyre (pemigatinib) has been successful and, in January, Incyte announced that the European Medicines Agency’s (EMA) Committee for Medicinal Products for Human Use (CHMP) issued a positive opinion recommending the conditional marketing authorization of pemigatinib for the treatment of adults with unresectable locally advanced or metastatic cholangiocarcinoma with an FGFR2 fusion or rearrangement that is relapsed or refractory, after at least one line of systemic therapy.
