Nya data på ASH 2017: Kyprolis förlänger överlevnaden för patienter med myelom

Kyprolis ger signifikant förlängd överlevnad vid recidiverande och refraktärt myelom, och det gäller även om patienterna tidigare behandlats med bortezomib, eller genomgått stamcellstransplantation. Det visar resultatet av den slutliga analysen av fas III-studien ASPIRE som presenterades vid nyligen avslutade 59th American Society of Hematology Annual Meeting & Exposition i Atlanta.

 Phase 3 A.R.R.O.W. Study Of Once-Weekly KYPROLIS® (Carfilzomib) Regimen Meets Primary Endpoint Of Progression-Free Survival In Relapsed And Refractory Multiple Myeloma Patients

Phase 3 A.R.R.O.W. Study Of Once-Weekly KYPROLIS® (Carfilzomib) Regimen Meets Primary Endpoint Of Progression-Free Survival In Relapsed And Refractory Multiple Myeloma Patients

Top-line results of the Phase 3 ARROW trial shows KYPROLIS administered once-weekly at the 70 mg/m2 dose with dexamethasone allowed relapsed and refractory multiple myeloma patients to live 3.6 months longer without their disease worsening than KYPROLIS administered twice-weekly at the 27 mg/m2 dose with dexamethasone. The overall safety profile was comparable to that of the twice-weekly regimen.

NEW ANALYSIS shows Repatha (EVOLOCUMAB) reduces CARDIOVASCULAR EVENTs IN PATIENTS WITH HISTORY OF STROKE

NEW ANALYSIS shows Repatha (EVOLOCUMAB) reduces CARDIOVASCULAR EVENTs IN PATIENTS WITH HISTORY OF STROKE

Amgen today announced that a new analysis showed lowering low-density lipoprotein cholesterol (LDL-C) levels with Repatha reduced the risk of cardiovascular events in a sub-group of patients with a history of stroke from the Repatha cardiovascular outcomes study (FOURIER).  Detailed results were presented today at the European Society of Cardiology (ESC) Congress 2017 in Barcelona, Spain.

Studie i Lancet Oncology: Påtagligt förbättrad överlevnad i myelom med modern proteasomhämmare

Studie i Lancet Oncology: Påtagligt förbättrad överlevnad i myelom med modern proteasomhämmare

Patienter som behandlas med Kyprolis överlever 7,6 månader längre än om de får den äldre proteasomhämmaren Velcade. Det visar en analys som nu publicerats i Lancet Oncology. – Det här en klar förbättring för patienter som fått återfall i myelom, säger docent Bo Björkstrand, överläkare vid Hematologiskt centrum på Karolinska Universitetssjukhuset och en av de ledande experterna på området.

REPATHA (EVOLOCUMAB) FOUR-YEAR OPEN-LABEL FOLLOW-UP STUDY PUBLISHED IN JAMA CARDIOLOGY Long-Term Study Identified No New Safety Concerns

REPATHA (EVOLOCUMAB) FOUR-YEAR OPEN-LABEL FOLLOW-UP STUDY PUBLISHED IN JAMA CARDIOLOGY Long-Term Study Identified No New Safety Concerns

Amgen today announced that results from the Repatha (evolocumab) OSLER-1 study, were published inJAMA Cardiology. Repatha, when added to standard of care, achieved median low-density lipoprotein cholesterol reductions of 57 percent at four years, with no new safety concerns identified and no neutralizing antibodies observed with cumulative exposure.

Repatha (evolocumab) demonstrates REDUCED NEED FOR APHERESIS in PATIENTS with HIGH LDL CHOLESTEROL in Phase 3 study Study Meets Primary and All Secondary Endpoints

Amgen has announced positive top-line results from a Phase 3 study evaluating Repatha (evolocumab) in patients who were receiving apheresis to reduce low-density lipoprotein cholesterol (LDL-C). The study met its primary endpoint, demonstrating that treatment with Repatha significantly reduced the need for LDL-C apheresis in adult patients, as measured at the end of the randomized period.
