Reinforcing the potential for belantamab mafodotin to redefine treatment of relapsed/refractory multiple myeloma
At ASCO (Free ASCO Whitepaper) and EHA (Free EHA Whitepaper), GSK will share updated data from the DREAMM (DRiving Excellence in Approaches to Multiple Myeloma) programme. Key presentations include:

Updated progression-free survival (PFS) analysis from the DREAMM-8 study (EHA abstract #PF728).
DREAMM-8 data shows the association of measurable residual disease (MRD) negativity with efficacy endpoints (ASCO abstract #7515).
First presentation of safety and efficacy data from DREAMM-20 evaluating the unconjugated monoclonal antibody, belantamab. This represents an important first step towards exploring next-generation BCMA solutions (ASCO abstract #7550).
A new analysis from DREAMM-7 and DREAMM-8 which contextualise manageability of eye-related side effects including impact on reading and driving (EHA abstract #PS1761).
Importance of starting treatment early with momelotinib which may impact survival in myelofibrosis patients
At EHA (Free EHA Whitepaper) 2025, new analyses from the pivotal MOMENTUM and SIMPLIFY-1 trials reinforce momelotinib as a standard of care in myelofibrosis (MF), The data explore the benefits of initiating treatment for myelofibrosis earlier, which could lead to better outcomes for patients. Presentations include:

New post-hoc analyses from the MOMENTUM & SIMPLIFY-1 trials show addressing anaemia and achieving haemoglobin improvement of 10 g/dL or above may positively impact overall survival (EHA abstract #PF828).
New SIMPLIFY-1 subgroup data show the impact of patients achieving both ≥ 35% spleen volume reduction (SVR35) and transfusion independence responses with momelotinib, which are prioritised in treatment guidelines to support optimal long-term outcomes in patients (EHA abstract #PS1829).
Understanding the impact of our medicines on quality of life for patients with gynaecologic cancers
Findings from GSK’s gynaecologic cancer portfolio focus on understanding the patient treatment experience to better inform GSK’s research efforts and clinical care. These include:

Results of the phase III FIRST-ENGOT-OV44 trial provides insight on the role of adding dostarlimab to platinum-based chemotherapy followed by niraparib maintenance, with or without bevacizumab, in first-line advanced ovarian cancer (ASCO abstract #LBA5506).
Patient reported outcomes from the phase III PRIMA trial (ENGOT-OV26/GOG-3012) will help inform healthcare providers on the impact of disease progression on quality of life in patients with newly diagnosed advanced ovarian cancer (ASCO abstract #5551).
New post-hoc analysis from Part 1 of the phase III RUBY trial (EN6-NSGO/GOG-3031) evaluates time to changes in quality of life with dostarlimab plus chemotherapy (carboplatin-paclitaxel) compared to chemotherapy alone in patients with primary advanced or recurrent endometrial cancer (ASCO abstract #5600).

About multiple myeloma
Multiple myeloma is the third most common blood cancer globally and is generally considered treatable but not curable.1,2 There are approximately more than 180,000 new cases of multiple myeloma diagnosed globally each year.3 Research into new therapies is needed as multiple myeloma commonly becomes refractory to available treatments.4 Many patients with multiple myeloma are treated in a community cancer setting, leaving an urgent need for new, effective therapies with manageable side effects that can be administered outside of an academic centre.5,6

About myelofibrosis
Myelofibrosis is a rare blood cancer that disrupts the body’s normal production of blood cells because of dysregulated JAK-signal transducer and activator of transcription protein signalling. The clinical hallmarks of myelofibrosis are splenomegaly (enlarged spleen), severely low blood counts, including anaemia and thrombocytopenia, and debilitating constitutional symptoms, such as fatigue, night sweats and bone pain, attributable to ineffective haematopoiesis and excessive production of proinflammatory cytokines.7,8

About ovarian cancer
Ovarian cancer is the eighth most common cancer in women worldwide.9 Despite high response rates to platinum-based chemotherapy in the first-line setting, approximately 85% of patients will experience disease recurrence. Once the disease recurs, it is rarely curable, with decreasing time intervals to each subsequent recurrence.10

About endometrial cancer
Endometrial cancer is found in the inner lining of the uterus, known as the endometrium. Endometrial cancer is the most common gynaecologic cancer in developed countries,11 with an estimated 1.6 million people living with active disease at any stage and 417,000 new cases reported each year worldwide.16 Incidence rates are expected to rise by approximately 40% between 2020 and 2040.12 In Europe, approximately 121,000 people are estimated to be diagnosed with primary advanced or recurrent endometrial cancer each year.13 Approximately 15-20% of patients with endometrial cancer will be diagnosed with advanced disease at the time of diagnosis.14 Among patients with primary advanced or recurrent endometrial cancer, approximately 75% have MMRp/MSS tumours.15

About dMMR/MSI-H rectal cancer
Rectal cancer is a form of cancer that starts in the rectum, the final section of the large intestine, and is often categorised as part of a group of cancers called colorectal cancer. Colorectal cancer is the third most commonly diagnosed cancer in the world.16 In the US, it is estimated that approximately 46,220 individuals are diagnosed annually with rectal cancer.17 Approximately 5-10% of all rectal cancers are dMMR/MSI-H, meaning that they contain abnormalities that affect the proper repair of DNA when copied in a cell.18 Mismatch repair deficient status is a biomarker that has been shown to predict response to immune checkpoint blockade with PD-1 therapy.19,20 Tumours with this biomarker are most commonly found in endometrial, colorectal and other gastrointestinal cancers but may also be found in other solid tumours.21,22,23,24

About glioblastoma
Glioblastoma is a type of cancer that starts as a growth of cells in the brain or spinal cord. It grows quickly and can invade and destroy healthy tissue.25 It accounts for more than half of all primary malignant brain tumours and is one of the most complex and treatment-resistant cancers, resulting in poor patient outcomes.26 Survival rates and mortality statistics for glioblastoma have been virtually unchanged for decades, highlighting the need to investigate new treatment options.26

About Blenrep (belantamab mafodotin)
Belantamab mafodotin is an ADC comprising a humanised BCMA monoclonal antibody conjugated to the cytotoxic agent auristatin F via a non-cleavable linker. The drug linker technology is licensed from Seagen Inc.; the monoclonal antibody is produced using POTELLIGENT Technology licensed from BioWa Inc., a member of the Kyowa Kirin Group.

In April 2025, the UK Medicines and Healthcare products Regulatory Agency (MHRA) licensed belantamab mafodotin combinations for the treatment of relapsed or refractory multiple myeloma in adult patients who have received at least one prior therapy. In May 2025, the Japan Ministry of Health, Labour and Welfare approved belantamab mafodotin for the treatment of adults with relapsed or refractory multiple myeloma.

Important information for belantamab mafodotin in the United Kingdom
Indication

In the UK, belantamab mafodotin is indicated in adults for the treatment of multiple myeloma:

in combination with bortezomib and dexamethasone in patients who have received at least one prior therapy; and
in combination with pomalidomide and dexamethasone in patients who have received at least one prior therapy including lenalidomide.
IMPORTANT SAFETY INFORMATION FOR BLENREP
More information can be found in the Blenrep Summary of Product Characteristics and Patient Information leaflets available on the MHRA Products website.

About Omjjara (momelotinib)
Momelotinib has a differentiated mechanism of action, with inhibitory ability along three key signalling pathways: Janus kinase (JAK) 1, JAK2, and activin A receptor, type I (ACVR1).27,28,29,30 Inhibition of JAK1 and JAK2 may improve constitutional symptoms and splenomegaly.27,28,30 Additionally, inhibition of ACVR1 leads to a decrease in circulating hepcidin levels, potentially contributing to anaemia-related benefit.27,28,29,30

In September 2023, the US Food and Drug Administration licensed31 momelotinib under the brand name Ojjaara for the treatment of intermediate or high-risk myelofibrosis, including primary myelofibrosis or secondary myelofibrosis (post-polycythaemia vera and post-essential thrombocythemia), in adults with anaemia.

In January 2024, the European Commission granted marketing authorisation32 for momelotinib for disease-related splenomegaly (enlarged spleen) or symptoms in adult patients with moderate to severe anaemia who have primary myelofibrosis, post polycythaemia vera myelofibrosis or post essential thrombocythemia myelofibrosis and who are Janus kinase (JAK) inhibitor naïve or have been treated with ruxolitinib. Momelotinib was also approved33 by the Medicines and Healthcare products Regulatory Agency (MHRA) in the United Kingdom to treat the symptoms experienced by adult myelofibrosis patients who have moderate or severe anaemia.

In June 2024, the Japan Ministry of Health, Labour and Welfare (MHLW) approved34 momelotinib for the treatment of myelofibrosis.

Important information for momelotinib in the EU
Indication

Momelotinib is indicated for the treatment of disease-related splenomegaly (enlarged spleen) or symptoms in adult patients with moderate to severe anaemia who have primary myelofibrosis, post polycythaemia vera myelofibrosis or post essential thrombocythaemia myelofibrosis and who are Janus kinase (JAK) inhibitor naïve or have been treated with ruxolitinib.

Refer to the Omjjara EMA Reference Information for a full list of adverse events and the complete important safety information in the EU.

About Zejula (niraparib)
Niraparib is an oral, once-daily Poly (ADP-ribose) polymerase (PARP) inhibitor indicated in the US for the maintenance treatment of adult patients with advanced epithelial ovarian, fallopian tube, or primary peritoneal cancer who are in complete or partial response to first-line platinum-based chemotherapy; and for the maintenance treatment of adult patients with deleterious or suspected deleterious germline BRCA-mutated recurrent epithelial ovarian, fallopian tube, or primary peritoneal cancer who are in a complete or partial response to platinum-based chemotherapy and who have been selected based on a US FDA-approved companion diagnostic for niraparib.

Refer to the Zejula EMA Reference Information for a full list of adverse events and the complete important safety information in the EU.

About Jemperli (dostarlimab)
Dostarlimab, a programmed death receptor-1 (PD-1)-blocking antibody, is the backbone of GSK’s ongoing immuno-oncology-based research and development programme. A robust clinical trial programme includes studies of dostarlimab alone and in combination with other therapies in gynaecologic, colorectal and lung cancers, as well as where there are opportunities for transformational outcomes.

In the US, dostarlimab is indicated in combination with carboplatin and paclitaxel, followed by dostarlimab as a single agent for the treatment of adult patients with primary advanced or recurrent endometrial cancer. This includes patients with MMRp/MSS and dMMR/MSI-H tumours. Dostarlimab is also approved as a single agent for adult patients with dMMR recurrent or advanced endometrial cancer, as determined by a US FDA-approved test, that has progressed on or following a prior platinum-containing regimen in any setting and are not candidates for curative surgery or radiation. Additionally, dostarlimab is indicated in the US for patients with dMMR recurrent or advanced solid tumours, as determined by a US FDA-approved test, that have progressed on or following prior treatment and who have no satisfactory alternative treatment options. The latter indication is approved in the US under accelerated approval based on tumour response rate and durability of response. Continued approval for this indication in solid tumours may be contingent upon verification and description of clinical benefit in a confirmatory trial(s). 

Dostarlimab was discovered by AnaptysBio, Inc. and licensed to TESARO, Inc., under a collaboration and exclusive license agreement signed in March 2014.

The featured Genprex-supported abstract to be presented for poster presentation at the 2025 ASCO (Free ASCO Whitepaper) Annual Meeting:

The addition of Tecentriq (atezolizumab) to both induction therapy and maintenance therapy for patients with ES-SCLC has improved median progression free survival (PFS) and overall survival. However, the median PFS from starting Tecentriq maintenance is only 2.6 months. Expression of TUSC2, a tumor suppressor gene, is absent in 41% of SCLC patients and is decreased in 100% of SCLC patients. Reoqrsa Gene Therapy (quaratusugene ozeplasmid) consists of a DNA plasmid expressing the TUSC2 gene encapsulated in a positively charged lipoplex which delivers the TUSC2 gene to cancer cells, restoring TUSC2 expression. Xenograft studies using a SCLC cell line in a humanized mouse model treated with a combination of REQORSA and Tecentriq demonstrated significantly increased tumor cell killing compared to that of Tecentriq alone. In addition, infiltration of immune cells was increased in the tumor tissue, whereas myeloid derived suppressor cells were decreased. Thus, in this study REQORSA is added to Tecentriq maintenance therapy with the aim of improving PFS after the start of maintenance therapy.

Eligible patients have ES-SCLC and have completed 3-4 cycles of induction therapy with etoposide, a platinum agent, and Tecentriq without disease progression, and are thus eligible for maintenance therapy. REQORSA is administered via IV every 21 days in escalating dose cohorts in Phase 1 and Tecentriq 1200 mg is also administered via IV every 21 days. Dexamethasone, acetaminophen, and diphenhydramine are given prior to each treatment to prevent delayed infusion-related reactions. Efficacy is evaluated after every even cycle of treatment using RECIST 1.1 criteria. Safety is evaluated using CTCAE v5, with dose limiting toxicities generally defined as ≥Gr 3 adverse events (AEs). TUSC2 protein expression is measured by a validated immunohistochemistry assay in paraffin sections to determine if PFS is related to pretreatment TUSC2 levels. A validated assay measures pharmacokinetics in all patients. In Phase 1, two planned dose levels (0.09, and 0.12 mg/kg) of REQORSA were administered, and a standard dose escalation with 3-6 patients/dose level was used. The Phase 2 portion of the trial will enroll 50 patients which provides 80% power at a one-sided alpha level of 0.05 to detect an 18-week PFS rate of 52% compared to a historical 18-week PFS rate of 34% with Tecentriq alone. This corresponds to a median PFS of approximately 4.3 months compared to a historical median PFS of 2.6 months with Tecentriq alone. A Safety Review Committee (SRC) reviewed safety data at the end of each dose level of Phase 1 to make recommendations about dose escalation. The Phase 2 portion of the trial opened for enrollment in December 2024.
