BeiGene announced positive clinical results for its anti-PD-1 antibody, tislelizumab, at ASCO 2021. The Phase 3 RATIONALE 302 trial demonstrated a median overall survival (OS) of 8.6 months for tislelizumab versus 6.3 months for chemotherapy in advanced or metastatic esophageal squamous carcinoma (ESCC). Additionally, a Phase 2 trial reported an objective response rate (ORR) of 45.9% across various solid tumors. Both trials highlighted tislelizumab’s favorable safety profile. The company aims for broader international use of tislelizumab, advancing discussions with health authorities.
BeiGene announced positive results from clinical trials involving its PARP inhibitor, pamiparib, aimed at treating HER2-negative breast cancer and gastric cancer. The Phase 2 trial for HER2-negative breast cancer showed a confirmed objective response rate of 61.9% for HR(+) patients and 38.2% for TNBC patients. Although pamiparib showed a numerically higher progression-free survival in gastric cancer, it did not achieve statistical significance due to lower than expected enrollment. The company remains optimistic about pamiparib's potential in improving patient outcomes.
BeiGene announced positive interim results from the Phase 3 ALPINE trial, which compares BRUKINSA to ibrutinib in patients with relapsed or refractory chronic lymphocytic leukemia (CLL) or small lymphocytic lymphoma (SLL). The trial included 415 patients, with BRUKINSA showing non-inferiority in objective response rate (ORR) and statistically significant lower risk of atrial fibrillation compared to ibrutinib. The results will be presented at EHA2021, with further details discussed in an investor call.

The trial included 263 patients, and the safety profile of tislelizumab remained consistent. This marks the fifth positive Phase 3 readout for tislelizumab, emphasizing its potential as a differentiated treatment option.
