Sellas Life Sciences Group Inc Stock Price, News & Analysis

SELLAS Life Sciences Group (NASDAQ: SLS) announced positive results from a Phase 2a trial of SLS009 (tambiciclib) combined with zanubrutinib in relapsed/refractory Diffuse Large B-Cell Lymphoma (r/r DLBCL). The trial, conducted by GenFleet Therapeutics in China, showed a 67% overall response rate, more than double that of zanubrutinib alone.

Among the 9 enrolled patients, one achieved complete response, while three had partial responses with target lesion shrinkages of 89%, 78%, and 56%. After a median follow-up of 4.6 months, 67% of patients remained alive. In the non-GCB DLBCL subgroup, the disease control rate reached 83%. Grade ≥ 3 adverse events were reported in 55.6% of patients, comparable to zanubrutinib's safety profile. Notably, genetic analysis revealed the complete response patient had MYC amplification and TP53 mutations, suggesting SLS009 could potentially overcome TP53-mutated cancer drug resistance.

SELLAS Life Sciences (NASDAQ: SLS) announced positive interim analysis results for its Phase 3 REGAL trial of GPS in Acute Myeloid Leukemia (AML). The Independent Data Monitoring Committee (IDMC) recommended trial continuation without modifications after reviewing 60 death events. Key findings include:

- Less than 50% of enrolled patients deceased after 13.5 months median follow-up, suggesting survival over 13.5 months versus historical 6 months with conventional therapy
- 80% of randomly selected GPS patients showed specific T-Cell immune response, surpassing previous Phase 2 results
- Final analysis planned upon reaching 80 death events, expected this year

The trial evaluates GPS in AML patients who achieved complete remission following second-line salvage therapy. No drug has been approved specifically for maintenance of remission in AML patients in CR2. The company is preparing for Biologics License Application (BLA) submission.

SELLAS Life Sciences Group (NASDAQ: SLS) outlined key business objectives for 2025, highlighting two major upcoming milestones. The company expects an interim analysis of its Phase 3 REGAL study by an Independent Data Monitoring Committee in January 2025, which will determine whether to stop the trial early for efficacy, stop for futility, or continue without modification.

Additionally, full topline Phase 2 data for SLS009 (tambiciclib) in Acute Myeloid Leukemia (AML) and FDA regulatory review are expected in 1H 2025. The company reported positive 2024 results for SLS009, with median overall survival exceeding 7.7 months compared to historical 2.5 months, and a 56% Overall Response Rate in AML-MRC patients. The drug received multiple regulatory designations, including FDA Fast Track Designation for AML and EMA orphan drug designation for AML and peripheral T-cell lymphoma.

SELLAS Life Sciences Group (NASDAQ: SLS), a late-stage clinical biopharmaceutical company specializing in cancer therapy development, has announced a corporate update call scheduled for Wednesday, January 8, 2025, at 9:00 a.m. Eastern Time.

SELLAS Life Sciences Group (NASDAQ: SLS) announced reaching a critical milestone in its Phase 3 REGAL clinical trial of galinpepimut-S (GPS) for acute myeloid leukemia (AML). The study has achieved its pre-specified threshold of 60 events (deaths), triggering an interim analysis by the Independent Data Monitoring Committee (IDMC).

The IDMC will conduct a comprehensive review of the REGAL data in January 2025, assessing the efficacy, futility, and safety of GPS as a potential new treatment option for AML patients. The analysis represents a significant step in SELLAS's mission to develop novel cancer therapies.

SELLAS Life Sciences Group announced positive data from Phase 2 trial of SLS009, a CDK9 inhibitor, in relapsed/refractory acute myeloid leukemia (r/r AML). Key findings include:

- Median Overall Survival exceeding 7.7 months in the 30 mg BIW cohort for venetoclax-refractory patients (vs. historical 2.5 months)
- 56% Overall Response Rate in AML-MRC patients, surpassing the 33% target
- Well-tolerated safety profile with no new safety signals

The trial included 14 patients in Cohort 3 and 14 in Cohorts 4-5, with 9 evaluable patients at analysis. The study evaluates SLS009 in combination with venetoclax and azacitidine at different dose levels, focusing on ASXL1 mutated AML patients and those with myelodysplasia-related molecular abnormalities.

SELLAS Life Sciences Group announced promising preclinical study results showing ASXL1 mutations as a key predictor of SLS009 response in solid cancers. The study revealed high efficacy in 67% of ASXL1 mutated solid cancers compared to 0% in non-ASXL1 mutated cancers. In colorectal cancer (CRC MSI-H), ASXL1 mutations were found in 58% of cases, with high efficacy in 57% of mutated cell lines. In non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC), 100% efficacy was observed in ASXL1 mutated cell lines. SLS009 outperformed the positive control in 5 out of 9 cell lines, positioning it as a promising therapeutic candidate.

SELLAS Life Sciences Group (NASDAQ: SLS) reported Q3 2024 financial results and pipeline updates. The company's Phase 3 REGAL study interim analysis for AML treatment remains on track for Q4 2024.
