Bayer To Highlight Oncology Franchise Research At ASCO 2017

WHIPPANY, N.J., May 17, 2017 /PRNewswire/ -- Bayer announced today that the latest research from across its growing oncology portfolio will be presented at the 53rdAnnual Meeting of the American Society of Clinical Oncology (ASCO), taking place June 2-6 in Chicago.

The data being presented at ASCO span prostate, colorectal, liver and thyroid cancers, as well as lymphomas, and includes a subgroup analysis from the Phase II CHRONOS-1 trial of copanlisib in patients with relapsed or refractory follicular lymphoma (FL), the most common subtype of indolent non-Hodgkin's lymphoma (iNHL).1 Additional copanlisib data includes a Phase II study in patients with relapsed or refractory diffuse large B-cell lymphoma (DLBCL), an aggressive, fast-growing form of NHL. Earlier today, the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) granted Priority Review designation for Bayer's New Drug Application (NDA) for copanlisib for the treatment of relapsed or refractory FL patients who have received at least two prior therapies, based on the CHRONOS-1 data.

Other data of note includes interim results from the observational REASSURE trial examining real-world patient characteristics and treatment patterns with Xofigo®(radium Ra 223 dichloride) injection and a biomarker analysis from the Phase III RESORCE trial of Stivarga® (regorafenib) tablets. Stivarga recently received approval from the FDA for the treatment of HCC in patients previously treated with sorafenib, making it the first new treatment for HCC in a decade. Notable Bayer studies at ASCO 2017 include the following:
