12月4日,罗氏在第58届美国血液学会年会的全会科学会议上公布了 GALLIUM研究III期临床试验数据。数据显示,相比当前标准治疗方案美罗华(利妥昔单抗)疗法,Gazyva/Gazyvaro可将未经治疗的滤泡淋巴瘤患者的恶化与死亡风险降低34%。
罗氏首席医学官兼全球产品开发负责人Sandra Horning博士表示:
滤泡淋巴瘤是最常见的惰性非霍奇金淋巴瘤,属于不可治愈的恶性血液肿瘤,大多数患者会经历反复的缓解和复发,每次复发都会加大后续治疗的难度。
这一针对Grazyva/Gazyvaro疗法的研究是迄今为止首个也是唯一一个与美罗华疗法相比,在更加有效提升无进展生存期方面取得积极结果的III期临床试验。”
