The Food and Drug Administration (FDA) has recently granted accelerated approval to BeiGene’s mantle cell lymphoma (MCL) oral therapy, zanubritinib (BRUKINSA).
Zanubritinib’s efficacy was examined through a phase 2 clinical trial (BGB-311-206 / NCT0306970) in the United States, as well as a 1/2 trial in Australia (BGB-3111-AU-003 / NCT 02343120). The trials’ outcomes were measured through overall response rate (ORR).
In the phase 2 trial, the ORR was 84%, with a complete response rate of 59%, and in the 1/2 trial, ORR was also 84%, with a 22% complete response rate.
In addition to its accelerated approval, zanubritinib also has received its orphan and breakthrough designations for MCL.
