BeiGene, Ltd. (NASDAQ: ONC; HKEX: 06160; SSE: 688235), a global oncology company that intends to change its name to BeOne Medicines Ltd., today announced the discontinuation of its clinical development program for ociperlimab (BGB-A1217), an anti-TIGIT antibody, as a potential treatment for lung cancer.
The Independent Data Monitoring Committee recommended terminating the ongoing Phase 3 AdvanTIG-302 trial (NCT04746924) based on its findings as part of a pre-planned futility analysis. The overall efficacy and safety data assessment suggested that the study was unlikely to meet the primary endpoint of overall survival. No new safety signals were observed. After thorough deliberation, the Company has made the decision to terminate the trial.
“We evaluate our clinical programs to focus our resources on the most promising clinically differentiated candidates while thoughtfully de-prioritizing others. Our commitment remains steadfast: to discover and develop innovative treatments that are more affordable and accessible to cancer patients worldwide,” said Mark Lanasa, M.D., Ph.D., Chief Medical Officer, Solid Tumors at BeiGene. “We thank the investigators, their patients, and support staff whose participation and dedication made this research possible.”
Results from this study will be shared at a later date to help advance science and the understanding of anti-TIGIT activity.
