Products & Pipeline:

We are conducting over 25 late-stage clinical trials. REVLIMID is in several phase III trials across a range of hematological malignancies that include newly diagnosed multiple myeloma and maintenance, lymphomas, chronic lymphocytic leukemia, and non deletion 5q myelodysplastic syndromes (MDS). Phase III trials with pomalidomide in relapsed refractory multiple myeloma and myelofibrosis, in addition to VIDAZA for acute myeloid leukemia, are also underway. In solid tumors, we are evaluating ABRAXANE in phase III trials for metastatic melanoma and pancreatic cancer. Our lead product candidate in Inflammation & Immunology, apremilast, is being evaluated in a broad phase III program for psoriatic arthritis, psoriasis, and ankylosing spondylitis.

Beyond our phase III programs is a growing early-to-mid-stage pipeline of novel therapies addressing significant unmet medical needs, including CC-292 (BTK inhibitor), CC-223 (dual TORK inhibitor), CC-115 (dual TORK/DNA PK inhibitor), CC-122 (pleiotropic pathway modulator), CC-486 (oral azacitidine), CC-220 (anti-inflammatory), PDA-001 (cellular therapies), in addition to partnered molecules ACE-11 (ActR fusion protein), ACE-536 (GDF trap), and EPZ-5676 (DOT1L inhibitor).

Key Updates:

Hematology

REVLIMID: We are advancing REVLIMID into new hematological malignancies. The pivotal phase II EMERGE trial in relapsed refractory mantle cell lymphoma achieved the endpoints outlined in the Special Protocol Assessment (SPA). Based upon these results, we will submit a supplemental new drug application (sNDA) to the Food and Drug Administration (FDA) by year-end. Presentation of the EMERGE data are expected at the American Society of Hematology (ASH) meeting in December.
