Kite Pharma ($KITE) climbs after Phase II data tee up FDA filing for CAR-T
Kite Pharma ($KITE) has posted an interim analysis of Phase II CAR-T data it thinks are strong enough to support regulatory approval. The CAR-T triggered complete remissions in 47% of patients with an aggressive form of non-Hodgkin lymphoma (NHL), although a dropoff in the number of responders over the first three months has raised questions about durability.
At the time of the interim analysis, Kite had administered its CD19-targeting CAR-T to 51 patients with chemorefractory diffuse large B-cell lymphoma (DLBCL). More than three quarters of patients experienced an objective response. Close to half experienced complete remission. When paired to stronger data from a small group of patients with transformed follicular lymphoma (TFL) and primary mediastinal B-cell lymphoma (PMBCL), Kite thinks the interim analysis boosts its prospects.

Amgen Announces Top-Line Results From Phase 3 KYPROLIS® (Carfilzomib) CLARION Study In Newly Diagnosed Multiple Myeloma Patients
Amgen to Hold Analyst Call Today at 8:30 a.m. ET
THOUSAND OAKS, Calif., Sept. 27, 2016 /PRNewswire/ — Amgen (NASDAQ:AMGN) today announced top-line results of the Phase 3 CLARION trial, which evaluated an investigational regimen of KYPROLIS® (carfilzomib), melphalan and prednisone (KMP) versus Velcade® (bortezomib), melphalan and prednisone (VMP) for 54 weeks in patients with newly diagnosed multiple myeloma who were ineligible for hematopoietic stem-cell transplant. The trial did not meet the primary endpoint of superiority in progression-free survival (PFS) (median PFS 22.3 months for KMP versus 22.1 months for VMP, HR = 0.91, 95 percent CI, 0.75 – 1.10). While the data for overall survival, a secondary endpoint, are not yet mature, the observed hazard ratio (KMP versus VMP) was 1.21 (95 percent CI, 0.90 – 1.64). Neither result was statistically significant.
Overall, the adverse events in the KMP arm were consistent with the known safety profile of KYPROLIS. The incidence of Grade 3 or higher adverse events was 74.7 percent in the KMP arm and 76.2 percent in the VMP arm. Fatal treatment-emergent adverse events occurred in 6.5 percent of KMP patients and 4.3 percent of VMP patients. The incidence of Grade 2 or higher peripheral neuropathy, a secondary endpoint, was 2.5 percent in the KMP arm and 35.1 percent in the VMP arm.

Cancer researchers see promise in giving patients combinations of multiple drugs that are proving more effective than one or two. But the strategy poses a dilemma for health insurers and patients: even higher prices.
Combination Drug Therapies for Cancer Show Promise at Higher Potential Cost
‘Group discounts’ suggested as one means of cutting cost of medicines in a combination regimen
