Amgen says Phase II trials for Blincyto support efficacy and safety in acute lymphoblastic leukemia
US biotech major Amgen (Nasdaq: AMGN) said new data from mid-stage trials for Blincyto (blinatumomab) to treat lymphoblastic leukemia (ALL) support the efficacy and safety of the drug.
The company said Phase II trials showed meaningful relapse-free survival (RFS), as measured in the key secondary endpoint. Median RFS was 18.9 months following initiation of Blincyto. Minimal residual disease (MRD) refers to the presence of leukemia blast cells below the limits of detection available with standard assessment.
