Insights
Regeneron's ASCO presentations highlight potential expansion of Libtayo into adjuvant CSCC and progression of linvoseltamab for multiple myeloma, with regulatory decisions approaching.
The upcoming ASCO 2025 presentations showcase Regeneron's strategic focus on expanding its oncology footprint across both solid tumors and hematologic malignancies. The Phase 3 C-POST trial for Libtayo in the adjuvant setting represents a significant potential expansion beyond its current approved use in advanced CSCC. Adjuvant therapy targets patients after surgery to prevent recurrence, potentially addressing a larger patient population than the advanced disease setting where Libtayo is already standard of care.
In multiple myeloma, the LINKER-MM2 trial data exploring linvoseltamab in combination with carfilzomib or bortezomib could strengthen the clinical profile of this BCMAxCD3 bispecific antibody ahead of its July 10, 2025 FDA target action date. These combinations for third-line or higher relapsed/refractory multiple myeloma address a patient population with significant unmet needs despite recent therapeutic advances.
The vidutolimod presentations also merit attention as they represent Regeneron's expansion beyond PD-1 inhibition into complementary immune mechanisms. The phase 2 randomized trial in resectable melanoma exploring vidutolimod plus anti-PD-1 will provide insights into whether this toll-like receptor 9 antagonist can enhance immunotherapy responses in earlier disease settings.
The breadth of presentations across five cancer types with 18 presentations demonstrates Regeneron's commitment to building a diverse oncology portfolio addressing various tumor types and treatment modalities. The company is simultaneously pursuing expanded indications for established therapies while advancing novel mechanisms and combinations, positioning them as an increasingly significant player in the oncology space.
Regeneron's ASCO presence shows strategic oncology expansion with key regulatory decisions approaching for linvoseltamab and odronextamab in mid-2025.
Regeneron's substantial presence at ASCO 2025 with 18 presentations across five cancer types demonstrates the company's strategic commitment to oncology as a core growth driver. The focus on both expanding indications for approved therapies while advancing novel candidates reflects a comprehensive portfolio approach.
The Phase 3 C-POST trial evaluating Libtayo in adjuvant CSCC represents a potential significant market expansion. Moving from the advanced/metastatic setting to earlier post-surgical treatment typically increases the eligible patient population and duration of therapy, potentially enhancing commercial opportunity if the data proves positive.
The regulatory timeline for Regeneron's hematologic malignancy portfolio is particularly noteworthy, with FDA decisions expected in July 2025 for both linvoseltamab in multiple myeloma and odronextamab in lymphoma. Both products have already secured conditional approval in the EU (as Lynozyfic and Ordspono, respectively), suggesting potential near-term revenue contributions in Europe while awaiting potential US approval.
The linvoseltamab combination strategy with established proteasome inhibitors demonstrates Regeneron's approach to positioning this agent within the competitive multiple myeloma treatment landscape. By exploring combinations with standard-of-care agents, Regeneron aims to strengthen linvoseltamab's clinical utility and potentially expand its use beyond the late-line monotherapy setting where novel agents often first enter the market.
Regeneron's diversified oncology approach spans checkpoint inhibitors (Libtayo), bispecific antibodies (linvoseltamab, odronextamab), and novel immunomodulators (vidutolimod), giving them multiple potential growth drivers rather than reliance on a single platform or product. This pipeline breadth helps mitigate development risk while establishing Regeneron's presence across multiple high-value oncology segments.
18 presentations across five cancer types include new insights on the potential of checkpoint inhibitors and bispecific antibodies
TARRYTOWN, N.Y., May 01, 2025 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Regeneron Pharmaceuticals, Inc. (NASDAQ: REGN) today announced new and updated data from its oncology and hematology portfolio will be shared at the 2025 American Society of Clinical Oncology (ASCO) Annual Meeting, taking place from May 30 to June 3 in Chicago, IL. Eighteen presentations will share the latest insights from ongoing research of approved and investigational treatment regimens across a range of difficult-to-treat cancers including non-melanoma and melanoma skin cancer, lung cancer, lymphoma and multiple myeloma.
“Our broad oncology and hematology programs are uniquely designed to investigate regimens that could provide meaningful impact for people living with difficult-to-treat cancers across all stages of the treatment paradigm,” said George D. Yancopoulos, M.D., Ph.D., Board co-Chair, President and Chief Scientific Officer at Regeneron. “Our PD-1 inhibitor Libtayo is the standard of care in advanced cutaneous squamous cell carcinoma, and in clinical trials, our investigational BCMAxCD3 bispecific antibody linvoseltamab has demonstrated a compelling profile in relapsed or refractory multiple myeloma. At ASCO, our presentations showcase how we are seeking to further transform the treatment of these diseases with updates from two key programs – our Phase 3 trial exploring adjuvant Libtayo in high-risk cutaneous squamous cell carcinoma and early data from investigational combinations of linvoseltamab and different proteasome inhibitors in third-line or higher multiple myeloma.”
Notable presentations at ASCO on Regeneron’s oncology pipeline include detailed efficacy and safety findings from the Phase 3 C-POST trial evaluating the adjuvant use of the PD-1 inhibitor Libtayo in post-surgical high-risk cutaneous squamous cell carcinoma (CSCC). The results will be presented in an oral session on Saturday, May 31.
In hematology, Regeneron will debut results from two cohorts of the LINKER-MM2 trial, which is exploring combinations of linvoseltamab, Regeneron’s investigational BCMAxCD3 bispecific antibody. These include combinations of linvoseltamab with carfilzomib or bortezomib in relapsed/refractory (R/R) multiple myeloma (MM) after at least two lines of therapy, which will be featured in two rapid oral presentations on Monday, June 2.
In addition, the results of a cooperative group study reporting on the primary analysis of a randomized Phase 2 trial of vidutolimod in combination with an anti-PD-1 versus anti-PD-1 as neoadjuvant therapy in stage 3 resectable melanoma will be presented in an oral session on Tuesday, June 3. Vidutolimod is a toll like receptor 9 antagonist that was acquired by Regeneron in 2022.

Libtayo U.S. FDA-approved Indications
Libtayo is a prescription medicine used to treat:
- People with a type of skin cancer called cutaneous squamous cell carcinoma (CSCC) that has spread or cannot be cured by surgery or radiation.
- People with a type of skin cancer called basal cell carcinoma (BCC) when your BCC cannot be removed by surgery (locally advanced BCC) or when it has spread (metastatic BCC) and have received treatment with a hedgehog pathway inhibitor (HHI), or cannot receive treatment with a HHI.
- Adults with a type of lung cancer called non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC).
- LIBTAYO may be used in combination with chemotherapy that contains a platinum medicine as your first treatment when your lung cancer has not spread outside your chest (locally advanced lung cancer) and you cannot have surgery or chemotherapy with radiation, or your lung cancer has spread to other areas of your body (metastatic lung cancer), and your tumor does not have an abnormal “EGFR,” “ALK,” or “ROS1” gene.
- LIBTAYO may be used alone as your first treatment when your lung cancer has not spread outside your chest (locally advanced lung cancer) and you cannot have surgery or chemotherapy with radiation, or your lung cancer has spread to other areas of your body (metastatic lung cancer), and your tumor tests positive for high “PD-L1,” and your tumor does not have an abnormal “EGFR,” “ALK,” or “ROS1” gene.
It is not known if Libtayo is safe and effective in children.
IMPORTANT SAFETY INFORMATION FOR U.S. PATIENTS
What is the most important information I should know about LIBTAYO?
LIBTAYO is a medicine that may treat certain cancers by working with your immune system. LIBTAYO can cause your immune system to attack normal organs and tissues in any area of your body and can affect the way they work. These problems can sometimes become severe or life-threatening and can lead to death. You can have more than one of these problems at the same time. These problems may happen anytime during treatment or even after your treatment has ended.
Call or see your healthcare provider right away if you develop any new or worsening signs or symptoms, including:
- Lung problems: cough, shortness of breath, or chest pain
- Intestinal problems: diarrhea (loose stools) or more frequent bowel movements than usual, stools that are black, tarry, sticky or have blood or mucus, or severe stomach-area (abdomen) pain or tenderness
- Liver problems: yellowing of your skin or the whites of your eyes, severe nausea or vomiting, pain on the right side of your stomach-area (abdomen), dark urine (tea colored), or bleeding or bruising more easily than normal
- Hormone gland problems: headache that will not go away or unusual headaches, eye sensitivity to light, eye problems, rapid heartbeat, increased sweating, extreme tiredness, weight gain or weight loss, feeling more hungry or thirsty than usual, urinating more often than usual, hair loss, feeling cold, constipation, your voice gets deeper, dizziness or fainting, or changes in mood or behavior, such as decreased sex drive, irritability, or forgetfulness
- Kidney problems: decrease in your amount of urine, blood in your urine, swelling of your ankles, or loss of appetite
- Skin problems: rash, itching, skin blistering or peeling, painful sores or ulcers in mouth or nose, throat, or genital area, fever or flu-like symptoms, or swollen lymph nodes
- Problems can also happen in other organs and tissues. These are not all of the signs and symptoms of immune system problems that can happen with LIBTAYO. Call or see your healthcare provider right away for any new or worsening signs or symptoms, which may include: chest pain, irregular heartbeat, shortness of breath or swelling of ankles, confusion, sleepiness, memory problems, changes in mood or behavior, stiff neck, balance problems, tingling or numbness of the arms or legs, double vision, blurry vision, sensitivity to light, eye pain, changes in eyesight, persistent or severe muscle pain or weakness, muscle cramps, low red blood cells, or bruising
- Infusion reactions that can sometimes be severe or life-threatening. Signs and symptoms of infusion reactions may include: nausea, vomiting, chills or shaking, itching or rash, flushing, shortness of breath or wheezing, dizziness, feel like passing out, fever, back or neck pain, or facial swelling
- Rejection of a transplanted organ. Your healthcare provider should tell you what signs and symptoms you should report and monitor you, depending on the type of organ transplant that you have had
- Complications, including graft-versus-host disease (GVHD), in people who have received a bone marrow (stem cell) transplant that uses donor stem cells (allogeneic). These complications can be serious and can lead to death. These complications may happen if you underwent transplantation either before or after being treated with LIBTAYO. Your healthcare provider will monitor you for these complications
Getting medical treatment right away may help keep these problems from becoming more serious. Your healthcare provider will check you for these problems during your treatment with LIBTAYO. Your healthcare provider may treat you with corticosteroid or hormone replacement medicines. Your healthcare provider may also need to delay or completely stop treatment with LIBTAYO if you have severe side effects.
Before you receive LIBTAYO, tell your healthcare provider about all your medical conditions, including if you:
- have immune system problems such as Crohn’s disease, ulcerative colitis, or lupus
- have received an organ transplant
- have received or plan to receive a stem cell transplant that uses donor stem cells (allogeneic)
- have received radiation treatment to your chest area
- have a condition that affects your nervous system, such as myasthenia gravis or Guillain-Barré syndrome
- are pregnant or plan to become pregnant. LIBTAYO can harm your unborn baby
Females who are able to become pregnant:
- Your healthcare provider will give you a pregnancy test before you start treatment
- You should use an effective method of birth control during your treatment and for at least 4 months after your last dose of LIBTAYO. Talk to your healthcare provider about birth control methods that you can use during this time
- Tell your healthcare provider right away if you become pregnant or think you may be pregnant during treatment with LIBTAYO
- are breastfeeding or plan to breastfeed. It is not known if LIBTAYO passes into your breast milk. Do not breastfeed during treatment and for at least 4 months after the last dose of LIBTAYO
Tell your healthcare provider about all the medicines you take, including prescription and over-the-counter medicines, vitamins, and herbal supplements.
The most common side effects of LIBTAYO when used alone include tiredness, muscle or bone pain, rash, diarrhea, and low levels of red blood cells (anemia). The most common side effects of LIBTAYO when used in combination with platinum-containing chemotherapy include hair loss, muscle or bone pain, nausea, tiredness, numbness, pain, tingling, or burning in your hands or feet, and decreased appetite. These are not all the possible side effects of LIBTAYO. Call your doctor for medical advice about side effects. You may report side effects to FDA at 1-800-FDA-1088. You may also report side effects to Regeneron Pharmaceuticals at 1-877-542-8296.
