Details of the data presentations are included below.
Michael S. Weiss, the Company’s Executive Chairman and Chief Executive Officer stated, “We are extremely pleased to present data from three combination trials at the upcoming June conferences, which we believe underscores the progress we have made in our combinatorial approach, as well as the potential utility of our lead drug candidates in oncology. We are particularly excited to share the final results from the GENUINE Phase 3 trial, evaluating ublituximab in high-risk CLL patients, which is the first randomized trial to demonstrate a PFS benefit with the addition of an anti-CD20 antibody to ibrutinib, compared to ibrutinib monotherapy. Additionally, it is encouraging to see long-term results from the combination of umbralisib and ibrutinib continue to show the potential versatility of umbralisib in combination regimens.“ Mr. Weiss continued, “Lastly, we look forward to presenting updated results from our proprietary triple combination of ublituximab, umbralisib, and our highly selective, BTK inhibitor, TG-1701, which to date has shown encouraging clinical activity at all dose levels evaluated.”Data to be presented at the ASCO meeting:Presentation Title: Effect of adding ublituximab to ibrutinib on PFS, ORR, and MRD negativity in previously treated high-risk chronic lymphocytic leukemia: Final results of the GENUINE phase III studyAbstract Number: 7506Available on Demand: Friday, May 29, 2020 at 8:00 AM ETSession Title: Hematologic Malignancies—Lymphoma and Chronic Lymphocytic LeukemiaLead Author: Jeff P.
