#ASH22: Lil­ly’s Loxo rounds out the PhI/II da­ta for lym­phoma drug un­der FDA re­view

NEW OR­LEANS — Fol­low­ing up on two sub­sets pre­sent­ed Sat­ur­day, Eli Lil­ly’s Loxo On­col­o­gy fleshed out the da­ta on its non-co­va­lent BTK in­hibitor pir­to­bru­ti­nib in pa­tients with man­tle cell lym­phomas as an FDA de­ci­sion looms on whether the dai­ly pill can en­ter a field cov­ered by three BTK ri­vals.

Loxo re­port­ed that 57.8% of MCL pa­tients re­spond­ed to pir­to­bru­ti­nib. That comes from a group of 90 pa­tients in the Phase I/II BRU­IN tri­al who’d pre­vi­ous­ly re­ceived a co­va­lent BTK in­hibitor. Eigh­teen pa­tients (20%) had a com­plete re­sponse and 34 pa­tients (37.8%) had a par­tial re­sponse. Sta­ble dis­ease was re­port­ed in 14 pa­tients (15.6%).
