*DREAMM-8 results for Blenrep (belantamab mafodotin) in multiple myeloma featured in a late-breaking presentation and ASCO's Press Programme
*Updated results from a supported collaborative study for Jemperli (dostarlimab) in locally advanced mismatch repair deficient rectal cancer
Pivotal data will be shared from the DREAMM-8 and DREAMM-7 phase III trials showing the potential of belantamab mafodotin in combination versus standard of care in multiple myeloma at or after first relapse, including:
*Results from the DREAMM-8 trial evaluating belantamab mafodotin in combination with pomalidomide and dexamethasone (PomDex) versus bortezomib combined with PomDex. This data was selected for inclusion in ASCO press programme (ASCO abstract #LBA105).
*Subgroup analyses from the DREAMM-7 trial evaluating belantamab mafodotin plus bortezomib and dexamethasone (BorDex) versus daratumumab plus BorDex (ASCO abstract #7503).
*Encore presentation (ASCO abstract #7543) of the primary results from DREAMM-7, originally featured in the ASCO Plenary Series on
Collaborations to improve patient care
Encouraging new data will be presented from GSK's portfolio of supported collaborative studies and alliances that could transform outcomes for patients with cancer:
*Updated results for dostarlimab in locally advanced mismatch repair deficient (dMMR) rectal cancer will be presented in a late-breaking rapid oral presentation (ASCO abstract #LBA3512), a supported collaborative study with
*
*Updated results will be presented from a phase 0/II trial of niraparib in patients with newly diagnosed MGMT-unmethylated glioblastoma (ASCO abstract #2002), a supported collaborative study sponsored by the Ivy Brain Tumor Center. Treatment with niraparib achieved a median overall survival of 20.3 months, compared to a historical control of 12.7 months.1,2. The safety profile was consistent with what has been previously reported in this study. Based on these results, a phase III clinical trial of niraparib versus standard of care has been accelerated, supported by GSK.

#e19532 About multiple myeloma
Multiple myeloma is the third most common blood cancer globally and is generally considered treatable but not curable.3,4 There are approximately 176,000 new cases of multiple myeloma diagnosed globally each year.5 Research into new therapies is needed as multiple myeloma commonly becomes refractory to available treatments.6 About dMMR/MSI-H rectal cancer
Rectal cancer is a form of cancer that starts in the rectum, the final section of the large intestine, and is often categorised as part of a group of cancers called colorectal cancer.7 Colorectal cancer is the third most commonly diagnosed cancer in the world.8 In the US, it is estimated that approximately 46,220 individuals are diagnosed annually with rectal cancer.9 Approximately 5-10% of all rectal cancers are dMMR/microsatellite instability-high (MSI-H), meaning that they contain abnormalities that affect the proper repair of DNA when copied in a cell.10 Mismatch repair-deficient status is a biomarker that has been shown to predict response to immune checkpoint blockade with PD-1 therapy.11,12 Tumours with this biomarker are most commonly found in endometrial, colorectal and other gastrointestinal cancers but may also be found in other solid tumours.13-15 About glioblastoma
Glioblastoma is a type of cancer that starts as a growth of cells in the brain or spinal cord. It grows quickly and can invade and destroy healthy tissue.16 It accounts for more than half of all primary malignant brain tumours and is one of the most complex and treatment-resistant cancers, resulting in poor patient outcomes.17 Survival rates and mortality statistics for glioblastoma have been virtually unchanged for decades, highlighting the need to investigate new treatment options.17 About belantamab mafodotin
Belantamab mafodotin is an antibody-drug conjugate comprising a humanised B-cell maturation antigen monoclonal antibody conjugated to the cytotoxic agent auristatin F via a non-cleavable linker. The drug linker technology is licensed from
*as monotherapy for the treatment of multiple myeloma in adult patients, who have received at least four prior therapies and whose disease is refractory to at least one proteasome inhibitor, one immunomodulatory agent, and an anti-CD39 monoclonal antibody, and who have demonstrated disease progression on the last therapy.
Refer to the Blenrep
Jemperli is a programmed death receptor-1 (PD-1)-blocking antibody that binds to the PD-1 receptor and blocks its interaction with the PD-1 ligands PD-L1 and PD-L2.19
In the US, Jemperli is indicated in combination with carboplatin and paclitaxel, followed by Jemperli as a single agent for the treatment of adult patients with primary advanced or recurrent endometrial cancer that is dMMR, as determined by a
Jemperli is also indicated in the US for patients with dMMR recurrent or advanced solid tumours, as determined by a
Jemperli was discovered by
*in combination with carboplatin-paclitaxel, for the treatment of adult patients with dMMR/MSI-H primary advanced or recurrent endometrial cancer and who are candidates for systemic therapy;
*as monotherapy for treating adult patients with mismatch repair deficient dMMR/MSI-H recurrent or advanced endometrial cancer that has progressed on or following prior treatment with a platinum-containing regimen.
Refer to the Jemperli EMA Reference Information for a full list of adverse events and the complete important safety information in the EU. About Zejula (niraparib)
Zejula is an oral, once-daily poly (ADP-ribose) polymerase (PARP) inhibitor indicated in the US for the maintenance treatment of adult patients with advanced epithelial ovarian, fallopian tube, or primary peritoneal cancer who are in complete or partial response to first-line platinum-based chemotherapy; and for the maintenance treatment of adult patients with deleterious or suspected deleterious germline BRCA-mutated recurrent epithelial ovarian, fallopian tube, or primary peritoneal cancer who are in a complete or partial response to platinum-based chemotherapy and who have been selected based on a
*as monotherapy for the maintenance treatment of adult patients with advanced epithelial (FIGO Stages III and IV) high-grade ovarian, fallopian tube or primary peritoneal cancer who are in response (complete or partial) following completion of first-line platinum-based chemotherapy.
*as monotherapy for the maintenance treatment of adult patients with platinum-sensitive relapsed high-grade serous epithelial ovarian, fallopian tube, or primary peritoneal cancer who are in response (complete or partial) to platinum-based chemotherapy.
Refer to the Zejula EMA Reference Information for a full list of adverse events and the complete important safety information in the EU. About Omjjara (momelotinib)
Momelotinib has a differentiated mechanism of action, with inhibitory ability along three key signalling pathways: Janus kinase (JAK) 1, JAK2, and activin A receptor, type I (ACVR1).20,21, 22, 23 Inhibition of JAK1 and JAK2 may improve constitutional symptoms and splenomegaly.21, 23, 25 Additionally, inhibition of ACVR1 leads to a decrease in circulating hepcidin levels, potentially contributing to anaemia-related benefit.21,22,23, 24
