New data from Sanofi’s diverse, differentiated oncology pipeline and portfolio to be presented at ASCO 2023
- Oral presentation to highlight results of a first-in-human study of an investigational trifunctional anti-CD123 NK cell engager SAR443579, which was recently granted Fast Track Designation by the U.S. FDA for the treatment of hematological malignancies
- Sanofi continues to advance its research into potentially transformative therapies such as antibody drug conjugates, natural killer and T-cell therapeutics
Paris, June 2, 2023. Sanofi will present new data at the 2023 American Society of Clinical Oncology (ASCO) Annual Meeting from June 2-6, including an oral presentation where results will be shared for the first time of a first-in-human study of an investigational trifunctional anti-CD123 natural killer (NK) cell engager SAR443579 in relapsed or refractory acute myeloid leukemia, B-cell acute lymphoblastic leukemia or high risk-myelodysplasia.
Peter Adamson
Global Development Head, Oncology
“The presentation of data at ASCO from our initial clinical trial of SAR443579, a novel NK cell engager, supports the potential of this investigational approach for patients with hematologic malignancies. At Sanofi, we are continuing to build our early oncology pipeline, which leverages leading-edge R&D platforms, to drive a range of investigational approaches for patients with difficult-to-treat cancers.”
The U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) has granted Fast Track Designation for SAR443579 for the treatment of hematological malignancies. Fast Track Designation is an FDA process designed to facilitate the development, and expedite the review of, medicines to treat serious conditions and fill unmet medical need. The FDA created this process to help deliver important new drugs to patients earlier, and it covers a broad range of serious illnesses.
Olivier Nataf
Global Head, Oncology
“Having recently joined Sanofi as Global Head, Oncology, I am looking forward to coming together with the global oncology community at ASCO to discuss the future of cancer treatment and latest oncology research. This year, we are focused on highlighting our pipeline and exploring new opportunities that allow us to continue helping those living with cancer. Cancer is complex and we understand that innovation does not happen in isolation, so exploring strategic partnerships and collaborations that align science and technology with evolving medical needs is essential to our journey.”
Sanofi’s oncology pipeline has doubled since 2019, and we are exploring the advancement of potentially transformative therapies and focusing research on areas of high unmet needs for those living with various types of cancer.
Other Sanofi data to be presented at ASCO include studies in several priority areas of focus, such as relapsed multiple myeloma, advanced solid tumors and non-small cell lung cancer.
