GSK announced updated results from a phase II study evaluating Jemperli (dostarlimab-gxly) for treating mismatch repair deficient (dMMR) locally advanced rectal cancer. The trial, conducted with Memorial Sloan Kettering Cancer Center, showed a 100% clinical complete response (cCR) in 42 patients. The results, presented at the 2024 ASCO Annual Meeting, indicate no evidence of disease with a median follow-up of 26.3 months for the first 24 evaluated patients. The study highlights the potential of Jemperli as a non-surgical, first-line treatment option, addressing the negative impacts of current standard treatments. GSK is also advancing further studies, including AZUR-1 and AZUR-2 clinical trials, to evaluate Jemperli in various colorectal cancers.
GSK announced positive interim results from the DREAMM-8 phase III trial, showing that the combination of belantamab mafodotin, pomalidomide, and dexamethasone (PomDex) significantly reduced the risk of disease progression or death by nearly 50% compared to a standard of care combination in relapsed/refractory multiple myeloma. The median progression-free survival (PFS) was not yet reached at a 21.8-month median follow-up for the belantamab mafodotin combination versus 12.7 months for the bortezomib combination. Additionally, the PFS benefit was observed across all pre-specified subgroups, including high-risk patients. Although a positive trend in overall survival (OS) was noted, it was not statistically significant at this interim analysis. Safety profiles were consistent with known profiles of the individual agents, and common adverse events included neutropenia and ocular symptoms. These findings, presented at the 2024 ASCO Annual Meeting and published in the NEJM, support the potential of belantamab mafodotin in redefining treatment for multiple myeloma at or after first relapse.
