The objectives for this ongoing Phase 1 proof-of-concept trial are to assess safety, tolerability and efficacy of REGN1979 monotherapy. The data
presented at ASH included a total of 68 patients with R/R B-NHL who were treated with REGN1979. These patients had received a median of three
prior therapies, including an anti-CD20 therapy. As of September 2018, 14 patients had completed treatment, 13 patients remained on treatment and
41 had discontinued treatment. The most common reason for treatment discontinuation was progressive disease (27 patients). Two patients
discontinued treatment due to a treatment-emergent adverse event (TEAE; grade 3 hemolysis and grade 3 fatigue).
In the trial, the most common TEAEs occurring in at least 25% of patients were pyrexia, chills, cytokine release syndrome (CRS), fatigue, increased
C-reactive protein, anemia, hypotension, infusion-related reaction (IRR) and nausea. IRR and CRS events were generally mild to moderate in severity,
and neither resulted in trial discontinuations. Three patients in the trial died due to adverse events. Of these, one death, in a patient with a tumor
involving the gastric lining who experienced a gastric perforation, was attributed to REGN1979.
Er det bare jeg som føler REGN har blitt hypet opp på diverse forum? Underkant av 40% av pasientene som startet studien er ferdigbehandlet eller behandles fortsatt.
