Press Release
HUTCHMED Highlights Sovleplenib Phase III ESLIM-01 Study and Hematological Malignancy Programs Data to be Presented at the upcoming EHA2024 Congress
Hong Kong, Shanghai & Florham Park, NJ - Friday, May 17, 2024: HUTCHMED
(China) Limited ("HUTCHMED (https://www.hutch-med.com/) ") (Nasdaq/AIM:HCM;
HKEX:13) today announces that topline and subgroup results from the ESLIM‑01
Phase III study of sovleplenib, as well as new and updated data related to
novel investigational hematological malignancy therapies HMPL-306, HMPL-760
and tazemetostat, will be presented at the upcoming European Hematology
Association ("EHA") Hybrid Congress, taking place on June 13-16, 2024 in
Madrid, Spain and online.
ESLIM-01 is a randomized, double-blinded, placebo-controlled Phase III trial
in China of sovleplenib in adult patients with primary Immune Thrombocytopenia
("ITP") who have received at least one prior line of standard therapy
(NCT05029635 (https://clinicaltrials.gov/study/NCT05029635) ). In 188 patients
randomized to receive oral sovleplenib or placebo, sovleplenib demonstrated a
clinically meaningful early and sustained durable platelet response in
patients with primary ITP with durable response rate of 48.4% compared to zero
with placebo (p<0.0001). The median time to response was 1.1 weeks with
sovleplenib. It demonstrated a tolerable safety profile with grade 3 or above
treatment-emergent adverse events (TEAEs) in 25.4% of patients with
sovleplenib and 24.2% with placebo. Sovleplenib also significantly improved
quality of life in physical functioning and energy/fatigue (p<0.05).
Most patients were heavily pretreated with a median of four prior lines of ITP
therapy and a majority (71.3%) of the patients had received prior
TPO/TPO-RA 1 (#_edn1) treatment. Further post-hoc subgroup analysis of the
study demonstrated consistent clinical benefits across ITP patients regardless
of prior lines of ITP therapies or prior TPO/TPO-RA exposure, regardless of
TPO/TPO-RA treatment types and number of prior regimens.
In addition to the promising data in ITP, results from Phase II part of the
ongoing ESLIM-02 Phase II/III study (NCT05535933
(https://clinicaltrials.gov/ct2/show/NCT05535933) ) of sovleplenib for warm
antibody autoimmune hemolytic anemia (wAIHA) will also be presented at the
congress demonstrating encouraging hemoglobin (Hb) benefit compared with
placebo, with overall response rate of 43.8% vs. 0% in the first 8 weeks, and
overall response rate of 66.7% during the 24 weeks of sovleplenib treatment
(including patients that crossed over from placebo). A favorable safety
profile was also demonstrated.
