BeiGene (NASDAQ:BGNE;HKEX:06160), a commercial-stage biopharmaceutical company focused on developing and commercializing innovative molecularly-targeted and immuno-oncology drugs for the treatment of cancer, today announced the acceptance by the China National Medical Products Administration (NMPA) of a new drug application (NDA) for zanubrutinib, an investigational Bruton’s tyrosine kinase (BTK) inhibitor, for the treatment of patients with relapsed/refractory (R/R) chronic lymphocytic leukemia (CLL) or small lymphocytic lymphoma (SLL).
As quoted in the press release:
Zanubrutinib was discovered in BeiGene’s research facilities in Beijing, China, and is being developed globally by BeiGene as a monotherapy and in combination with other therapies to treat various hematologic malignancies. In August, the NMPA accepted BeiGene’s first NDA for zanubrutinib for the treatment of patients with R/R mantle cell lymphoma (MCL).
“Our team has made three NDA submissions in China this year, including two for zanubrutinib and one for tislelizumab, our investigational anti-PD-1 antibody. We are hopeful that these submissions, if approved, could further transform BeiGene as well as bring important new treatment options to cancer patients,” commented John Oyler, co-founder, CEO and Chairman of BeiGene.
“We are delighted that the submission for zanubrutinib in patients with relapsed/refractory CLL/SLL was accepted by the NMPA in China, and we are excited to announce the top-line pivotal data for zanubrutinib in these patients, which demonstrated a high overall response rate of 80 percent despite a relatively short follow-up. These results in China are also consistent with the data from our global studies,” said Dr. Xiaobin Wu, General Manager of China and President of BeiGene, Ltd.
