FRAZER, Pa., Nov 05, 2009 /PRNewswire-FirstCall via COMTEX/ --
Cephalon, Inc. (Nasdaq: CEPH) today announced the journal Cancer has published a pivotal study demonstrating that TREANDA(R) (bendamustine HCl) for Injection induced durable responses in patients with indolent B-cell non-Hodgkin's lymphoma (NHL) whose disease had progressed during or within six months of treatment with rituximab. Results of this study, which supported the FDA approval of TREANDA in this patient population in October 2008, were published online yesterday and will also appear in the print edition at a later date. According to the National Cancer Institute, an estimated 30,000 people in the United States will be diagnosed this year with indolent NHL, a slow growing but serious cancer of the lymphatic system.
"The findings from this study confirm and expand upon previous investigations with bendamustine. Bendamustine provides physicians and patients with another valuable treatment option for recurring indolent B-cell NHL, a patient population that continues to grow," said Brad Kahl, M.D., Associate Professor, Director Lymphoma Service, University of Wisconsin Paul P. Carbone Comprehensive Cancer Center, and the lead investigator of this study.
In this multicenter, open-label, single-arm study, 100 patients received TREANDA intravenously at a dose of 120 mg per meter squared over 60 minutes on days one and two every 21 days for up to eight cycles. There were two primary endpoints in the study: the overall response rate (ORR) defined as the percentage of patients who responded to treatment, and the duration of response. In the published results, 75 percent of patients had a response to treatment with TREANDA, including 14 percent who had a complete response and three percent who had an unconfirmed complete response. The patient response to treatment lasted a median of 9.2 months. The most common adverse events in this study included myelosuppression, nausea, infection, fatigue, diarrhea, vomiting and fever; serious adverse events included febrile neutropenia and pneumonia.
About TREANDA
TREANDA, a novel chemotherapy, was approved by the FDA for the treatment of chronic lymphocytic leukemia in March 2008. Efficacy relative to first line therapies other than chlorambucil has not been established. TREANDA received its second approval in October 2008 for the treatment of patients with indolent B-cell NHL that has progressed during or within six months of treatment with rituximab or a rituximab-containing regimen.
The following serious adverse reactions have been associated with TREANDA in clinical trials: myelosuppression, infections, infusion reactions and anaphylaxis, tumor lysis syndrome, skin reactions, and other malignancies.
TREANDA has a unique chemical structure that is synthesized to combine an alkylating group and a purine-like benzimidazole component. Though the exact mechanism of action of TREANDA remains unknown, TREANDA may act in two distinct ways to kill cancer cells. Preclinical studies suggest that TREANDA may lead to cell death by a process known as apoptosis (programmed cell death) as well as by an alternate cell death pathway which disrupts normal cell division known as mitotic catastrophe (a non-apoptotic pathway).
Cephalon holds exclusive rights to market and develop TREANDA in the United States. TREANDA is licensed from Astellas Deutschland GmbH. Bendamustine HCl, the active ingredient in TREANDA, is marketed in Germany by Astellas' licensee, the Mundipharma Group of Independent Associated Companies. In Germany, bendamustine is indicated as a single-agent or in combination with other anti-cancer agents for indolent NHL, multiple myeloma, and CLL. SymBio Pharmaceuticals Ltd holds exclusive rights to develop and market bendamustine HCl in Japan and select Asia Pacific Rim countries.
