Commentary on Science, Innovation & New Products with a focus on Oncology, Hematology & Immunotherapy

Posts tagged ‘VS-5584’

This year at the American Society of Hematology (ASH) there are over 800 abstracts on multiple myeloma alone. Obviously, one can’t possible do them all justice, but there are a number of important ones that are well worth highlighting, especially given the raft of new products in development, as well as some solid data from existing approved products.

Myeloma has long been dominated by proteasome inhibitors and immunomodulatory (IMiD) agents in combination with prednisone, dexamethasone, melphalan or as a triplet such as RVd, VMP etc. In Europe, melphalan still dominates as part of the base therapy, while in the US, dexamethasone (dex or simply d) is preferred partner since the tolerability is much improved along with a lower risk for secondary primary malignancies (SPMs).

In this detailed preview, the following companies and products are covered:

Companies: Millennium, Celgene, J&J, Amgen, Novartis, GSK, Array, Actelion, Biotest, KaloBio, Curis, Verastem, Karyopharm, Aeterna Zentaris.
Products: Ixazomib, lenalidomide, pomalidomide, carfilzomib, panobinostat, daratumumab, ibrutinib, CC-292, afuresertib, GSK2857916, ARRY-520, ACY-1215, indatuximab ravtansine, CUDC-907, VS-5584, selinexor, LCL161, BYL917, perifosine.

I also discuss some controversial topics such as lack of overall survival in the Revlimid trials and the risk of cardiovascular adverse events with Kyprolis. There are also an exciting raft of new compounds with new targets in various stages of development.

Obviously there will be more to come at the meeting, but for now, there’s plenty to discuss and review ahead of time.

There are quite a few posters at the forthcoming AACR-NCI-EORTC Molecular Targets meeting this weekend that I wanted to highlight as potentially interesting and will additionally review in more depth once they have been published.

Please note: None of the embargoed abstracts are covered here in this preview to avoid any complications, but more detailed notes and reports will follow later on these from the conference as they are published.

Here some of the abstracts that caught my eye, in no particular order:
