Key Findings:

Primary feasibility goal surpassed – 95 percent of participants (19/20) completed at least 75 percent of planned dosing, far exceeding the predefined 75 percent threshold.
Early anti‑proliferative activity – Median Ki‑67 fell from 10.5 percent at baseline to 5 percent by Week 3 (prior to ovarian suppression); 65 percent of patients achieved Ki‑67 ≤ 10 percent at that time point, and suppression was maintained at surgery.
Robust imaging response – Median functional tumor volume (FTV) measurement (performed at baseline, week 3, week 12, and at surgery) decreased 77.7 percent (range 9.0 cc → 1.2 cc) from baseline to surgery, and the longest tumor diameter from baseline to preoperative MRI was reduced by 36.8 percent.
Well‑tolerated safety profile – Adverse events were predominantly Grade 1; vasomotor symptoms (hot flushes) and fatigue were most common. Only three Grade 3 events (two skin infections, one post‑procedural infection) occurred in a single patient and were deemed unrelated to study drug; no Grade 4 or Grade 5 events were reported.
Pathologic Findings:
No participants achieved a pathologic complete response (pCR), and residual cancer burden (RCB) classes skewed toward RCB‑II/III, indicating moderate to extensive residual disease. This result was anticipated based on earlier window‑of‑opportunity (neoadjuvant) studies that showed significant pathologic clearance typically requires higher systemic exposures to (Z)-endoxifen (> 500 ng/mL) to enable inhibition of PKCβ1 in addition to ERα. The 10 mg dose in this pilot was intentionally selected to establish tolerability and early biologic activity in the endocrine‑naïve setting; therefore, limited pCR rates at this dose are consistent with prior dose–response observations.

"These results show that even at a low capsule strength (Z)‑endoxifen is bioactive, producing rapid Ki‑67 suppression and meaningful tumor shrinkage, while remaining highly tolerable. The study strengthens our scientific hypothesis that dual targeting of ERα and PKCβ1 is key to inducing a pathological response," said Steven Quay, M.D., Ph.D., President and Chief Executive Officer of Atossa. "Importantly, it paves the way for our ongoing I‑SPY 2 cohorts evaluating higher, potentially PKCβ1‑engaging doses of (Z)‑endoxifen alone and in combination with the CDK4/6 inhibitor abemaciclib, where we aim to translate early biomarker gains into deeper pathologic responses."

Atossa is actively enrolling participants into an additional I‑SPY 2 cohort testing (Z)‑endoxifen at a 40 mg daily dose and in combination with abemaciclib, with and without ovarian function suppression. Top‑line data from these arms are expected beginning in 2026.

About (Z)-Endoxifen
(Z)-endoxifen is a highly potent Selective Estrogen Receptor Modulator (SERM) with demonstrated ability to inhibit—and potentially degrade—estrogen receptors. It has shown activity even in tumors that have developed resistance to other endocrine therapies. Beyond its anti-estrogenic properties, (Z)-endoxifen also targets protein kinase C beta 1 (PKCβ1), an oncogenic signaling protein, at clinically achievable blood levels. Importantly, (Z)-endoxifen seems to deliver comparable or superior bone-protective effects relative to tamoxifen, while exhibiting minimal or no endometrial proliferative activity—addressing key limitations of current standard-of-care therapies.

Atossa is developing a proprietary oral formulation of (Z)-endoxifen that is enteric-coated to bypass stomach acid, which would otherwise convert the active (Z)-isomer to its inactive (E)-form. This innovation ensures optimal bioavailability and therapeutic integrity. Clinical studies have shown Atossa’s (Z)-endoxifen to be well tolerated in both healthy women and those with breast cancer.

Atossa is prioritizing the development of (Z)-endoxifen for the treatment of metastatic breast cancer, where novel therapeutic options are urgently needed. The compound is currently being evaluated in three Phase 2 trials: one in women with ductal carcinoma in situ (DCIS) and two in women with ER+/HER2- breast cancer, including the EVANGELINE trial and the combination I-SPY study. Atossa’s (Z)-endoxifen program is supported by a growing global intellectual property portfolio, including three recently issued U.S. patents and numerous pending applications worldwide.

"As part of the Company’s efforts to reduce operating costs it has determined to focus on the development of the plogosertib ("plogo") clinical program only. Accordingly, on March 10, 2025, the Company repurchased certain assets related to plogo from Cyclacel Limited for approximately $0.3 million in cash, to allow us to continue our efforts on developing an alternative salt, oral formulation of plogosertib with improved bioavailability," said Datuk Dr. Doris Wong, Chief Executive Officer. "Cyclacel Limited’s other drug development program, fadraciclib, is being marketed for sale by that entity’s liquidator in the U.K. pursuant to creditors voluntary liquidation of Cyclacel Limited announced in the London Gazette on January 31, 2025."

"Upon the commencement of the liquidation of Cyclacel Limited, the Company lost operational and strategic control over Cyclacel Limited and thus its financial results have been deconsolidated from the Company effective January 31, 2025; as a result, the Company anticipates a significant decrease to research and development expenses for the year ended December 31, 2025 as we focus on plogo and have no further expenditures related to fadraciclib," said Kiu Cu Seng, Chief Financial Officer. "The deconsolidated of our former subsidiary, Cyclacel Limited, resulted in a gain on deconsolidation, and thus an increase in stockholders’ equity of approximately $5.0 million, which we have reported in the Company’s Form 10-Q for the three months ended March 31, 2025."

Due to the current difficult economic environment and our lack of funding to implement our business plan, we have begun to analyze strategic alternatives available to the Company to continue as a going concern. Such alternatives include raising additional debt or equity financing or consummating a merger or acquisition with a partner that may involve a change in our business plan. As a result, the Company entered into an Exchange Agreement with FITTERS Diversified Berhad on April 6, 2205, to exchange all of the ordinary shares owned by FITTERS in exchange for approximately 19.99% of the Company’s common stock to acquire FITTERS’ wholly-owned subsidiary, Fitters Sdn. Bhd., a Malaysia-based private limited company specializing in supplying, and trading various protective and fire safety equipment.

Financial Highlights

As of March 31, 2025, cash and cash equivalents totaled $3.5 million, compared to $3.2 million as of December 31, 2024.

Net cash used in operating activities was $3.3 million for the three months ended March 31, 2025,. The Company estimates that its current cash resources will fund planned programs into the second quarter of 2025.

Research and development expenses were $0.8 million for the three months ended March 31, 2025, as compared to $2.8 million for the same period in 2024. Expenditure for the transcriptional regulation program ceased as a result of the Company’s UK subsidiary, Cyclacel Limited, being liquidated on January 24, 2025. Research and development expenses relating to plogosertib decreased by $0.6 million relative to the respective comparative period whilst we continue to explore and develop an alternative salt, oral formulation with improved bioavailability.

General and administrative expenses increased by approximately $2.6 million from $1.6 million for the three months ended March 31, 2024 to $4.2 million for the three months ended March 31, 2025, due to several one-time costs associated with the change of control of the Company; primarily stock compensation expense of $1.4 million, D&O insurance costs of $0.7 million, compensation expense of $0.3 million and legal costs of $0.1 million.

Total other (expense) income, net, for the three months and year ended March 31, 2025, were $5.0 million, compared to $0.1 million for the same period of the previous year, primarily due to a $5.0 million gain on deconsolidation of the UK subsidiary.

United Kingdom research & development tax credits for the three months ended March 31, 2024, were $1.4 million. There were no research and development tax credits for the three months ended March 31, 2025, following the liquidation of the UK subsidiary and the subsequent loss of eligibility for recoverable tax credits as a result thereof.

Net loss for the three months ended March 31, 2025, was $0.1 million (including stock-based compensation expense of $1.6 million), compared to $2.9 million (including stock-based compensation expense of $0.2 million) for the same period in 2024.

IN8bio Presents Preclinical Data Highlighting Potential of INB-619 T Cell Engager (TCE) for Autoimmune Disease at ASGCT 2025

On May 14, 2025 IN8bio, Inc. (Nasdaq: INAB), a clinical-stage biopharmaceutical company developing innovative gamma-delta (γδ) T cell therapies for cancer and autoimmune diseases, reported new preclinical data from its INB-619 program at the 2025 American Society of Gene & Cell Therapy (ASGCT) (Free ASGCT Whitepaper) Annual Meeting (Press release, In8bio, MAY 14, 2025, View Source [SID1234653060]). The data shows that INB-619, a CD-19 targeted γδ TCE, successfully eliminated disease-causing B cells in blood samples from patients with active Systemic Lupus Erythematosus (SLE, or Lupus).

These findings highlight the potential of INB-619 as a novel treatment option for autoimmune diseases, where harmful B cells secrete antibodies that drive inflammation and tissue damage. Unlike traditional TCEs that target CD3 and can often trigger severe side effects, INB-619 harnesses the unique properties of γδ T cells to selectively clear B cells while minimizing inflammatory responses.

William Ho, Chief Executive Officer of IN8bio, commented, "Our findings show that INB-619 not only eliminates pathogenic B cells, but also expands γδ T cell levels, which are often reduced in patients with chronic disease. This represents a fundamentally different approach to immune modulation – one that could potentially lead to safer, more effective treatments for autoimmune diseases and beyond."

Highlights from the Preclinical Data:

INB-619 demonstrated complete, targeted depletion of B cells in lupus patient-derived samples.
IN8bio’s γδ TCE successfully expands both Vδ1+ and Vδ2+ subtypes of γδ T cells, which are critical for targeting both circulating and tissue-resident B cells to potentially achieve deeper B cell depletion.
Unlike conventional CD3-based TCEs, INB-619 did not trigger significant release of inflammatory cytokines such as IL-6, which are commonly associated with serious toxicities, including CRS.
The study reinforces the potential of γδ T cell engagers as a safer, more precise immunotherapy platform for autoimmune diseases.
With these encouraging results, IN8bio continues to explore potential partnerships and additional autoimmune and cancer indications where γδ T cell biology and B cell targeting intersect.

About Revuforj (revumenib)

Revuforj (revumenib) is an oral, first-in-class, selective menin inhibitor that is FDA approved for the treatment of relapsed or refractory (R/R) acute leukemia with a lysine methyltransferase 2A gene (KMT2A) translocation in adult and pediatric patients one year and older.

Revumenib is in development for the treatment of R/R acute myeloid leukemia (AML) with a nucleophosmin 1 mutation (mNPM1). Positive pivotal data from the AUGMENT-101 trial in this population with revumenib as a monotherapy were recently published and the Company submitted a supplemental NDA for revumenib in R/R mNPM1 AML in April 2025. Additionally, multiple trials of revumenib in combination with standard-of-care agents in mNPM1 AML or KMT2A-rearranged acute leukemia are ongoing or planned across the treatment landscape, including in newly diagnosed patients.

Revumenib was previously granted Orphan Drug Designation for the treatment of AML, ALL and acute leukemias of ambiguous lineage (ALAL) by the U.S. FDA and for the treatment of AML by the European Commission. The U.S. FDA also granted Fast Track designation to revumenib for the treatment of adult and pediatric patients with R/R acute leukemias harboring a KMT2A rearrangement or NPM1 mutation and Breakthrough Therapy Designation for the treatment of adult and pediatric patients with R/R acute leukemia harboring a KMT2A rearrangement.

Revuforj (revumenib)

IMPORTANT SAFETY INFORMATION

WARNING: DIFFERENTIATION SYNDROME

Differentiation syndrome, which can be fatal, has occurred with Revuforj. Signs and symptoms may include fever, dyspnea, hypoxia, pulmonary infiltrates, pleural or pericardial effusions, rapid weight gain or peripheral edema, hypotension, and renal dysfunction. If differentiation syndrome is suspected, immediately initiate corticosteroid therapy and hemodynamic monitoring until symptom resolution.

WARNINGS AND PRECAUTIONS

Differentiation syndrome: Revuforj can cause fatal or life-threatening differentiation syndrome (DS). Symptoms of DS, including those seen in patients treated with Revuforj, include fever, dyspnea, hypoxia, peripheral edema, pleuropericardial effusion, acute renal failure, and/or hypotension. In clinical trials, DS occurred in 39 (29%) of 135 patients treated with Revuforj. DS was Grade 3 or 4 in 13% of patients and fatal in one. The median time to onset was 10 days (range 3-41 days). Some patients experienced more than 1 DS event. Treatment interruption was required for 7% of patients, and treatment was withdrawn for 1%.

Reduce the white blood cell count to less than 25 Gi/L prior to starting Revuforj. If DS is suspected, immediately initiate treatment with systemic corticosteroids (e.g., dexamethasone 10-mg IV every 12 hours in adults or dexamethasone 0.25-mg/kg/dose IV every 12 hours in pediatric patients weighing less than 40 kg) for a minimum of 3 days and until resolution of signs and symptoms. Institute supportive measures and hemodynamic monitoring until improvement. Interrupt Revuforj if severe signs and/or symptoms persist for more than 48 hours after initiation of systemic corticosteroids, or earlier if life-threatening symptoms occur such as pulmonary symptoms requiring ventilator support. Restart steroids promptly if DS recurs after tapering corticosteroids.

QTc interval prolongation: In the clinical trials, QTc interval prolongation was reported as an adverse reaction in 39 (29%) of 135 patients treated with Revuforj. QTc interval prolongation was Grade 3 in 12% of patients. The heart-rate corrected QT interval (using Fridericia’s method) (QTcF) was greater than 500 msec in 8%, and the increase from baseline QTcF was greater than 60 msec in 18%. Revuforj dose reduction was required for 5% of patients due to QTc interval prolongation. QTc prolongation occurred in 16% of the 31 patients less than 17 years old, 33% of the 88 patients 17 years to less than 65 years old, and in 50% of the 16 patients 65 years or older.

Correct electrolyte abnormalities, including hypokalemia and hypomagnesemia, prior to treatment with Revuforj. Perform an electrocardiogram (ECG) prior to initiation of Revuforj, and do not initiate Revuforj in patients with QTcF >450 msec. Perform an ECG at least once weekly for the first 4 weeks and at least monthly thereafter. In patients with congenital long QTc syndrome, congestive heart failure, electrolyte abnormalities, or those who are taking medications known to prolong the QTc interval, more frequent ECG monitoring may be necessary. Concomitant use with drugs known to prolong the QTc interval may increase the risk of QTc interval prolongation.

Interrupt Revuforj if QTcF increases >480 msec and <500 msec, and restart Revuforj at the same dose twice daily after the QTcF interval returns to ≤480 msec
Interrupt Revuforj if QTcF increases >500 msec or by >60 msec from baseline, and restart Revuforj twice daily at the lower-dose level after the QTcF interval returns to ≤480 msec
Permanently discontinue Revuforj in patients with ventricular arrhythmias and in those who develop QTc interval prolongation with signs or symptoms of life-threatening arrhythmia.
Embryo-fetal toxicity: Revuforj can cause fetal harm when administered to a pregnant woman. Advise pregnant women of the potential risk to a fetus. Advise females of reproductive potential and males with female partners of reproductive potential to use effective contraception during treatment with Revuforj and for 4 months after the last dose of Revuforj.

ADVERSE REACTIONS

Fatal adverse reactions occurred in 4 (3%) patients who received Revuforj, including 2 with differentiation syndrome, 1 with hemorrhage, and 1 with sudden death.

Serious adverse reactions were reported in 99 (73%) patients. The most frequent serious adverse reactions (≥5%) were infection (24%), febrile neutropenia (19%), bacterial infection (17%), differentiation syndrome (12%), hemorrhage (9%), and thrombosis (5%).

The most common adverse reactions (≥20%) including laboratory abnormalities, were hemorrhage (53%), nausea (51%), phosphate increased (50%), musculoskeletal pain (42%), infection (41%), aspartate aminotransferase increased (37%), febrile neutropenia (35%), alanine aminotransferase increased (33%), parathyroid hormone intact increased (33%), bacterial infection (31%), diarrhea (30%), differentiation syndrome (29%), electrocardiogram QT prolonged (29%), phosphate decreased (25%), triglycerides increased (25%), potassium decreased (24%), decreased appetite (24%), constipation (23%), edema (23%), viral infection (23%), fatigue (22%), and alkaline phosphatase increased (21%).

DRUG INTERACTIONS

Drug interactions can occur when Revuforj is concomitantly used with:

Strong CYP3A4 inhibitors: reduce Revuforj dose
Strong or moderate CYP3A4 inducers: avoid concomitant use with Revuforj
QTc-prolonging drugs: avoid concomitant use with Revuforj. If concomitant use is unavoidable, obtain ECGs when initiating, during concomitant use, and as clinically indicated. Withhold Revuforj if the QTc interval is >480 msec. Restart Revuforj after the QTc interval returns to ≤480 msec.
SPECIFIC POPULATIONS

Lactation: advise lactating women not to breastfeed during treatment with Revuforj and for 1 week after the last dose.

Pregnancy and testing: Revuforj can cause fetal harm when administered to a pregnant woman. Verify pregnancy status in females of reproductive potential within 7 days prior to initiating Revuforj.

Pediatric: monitor bone growth and development in pediatric patients.

Geriatric: compared to younger patients, the incidences of QTc prolongation and edema were higher in patients 65 years and older.

Infertility: based on findings in animals, Revuforj may impair fertility. The effects on fertility were reversible.

To report SUSPECTED ADVERSE REACTIONS, contact Syndax Pharmaceuticals at 1-888-539-3REV or FDA at 1-800-FDA-1088 or www.fda.gov/medwatch.

"With three cornerstone hematology assets – BRUKINSA, sonrotoclax and BGB-16673 – we are advancing a potentially best-in-class portfolio in B-cell malignancies," said Lai Wang, Ph.D. Global Head of R&D. "At EHA (Free EHA Whitepaper) 2025, we’ll share 31 accepted abstracts that highlight the progress of our hematology clinical development program and our commitment to targeted therapies that raise the standard of care. As BRUKINSA continues to expand its impact and our next-generation assets advance, we hope to transform the future of treatment for patients facing B-cell malignancies."

BeiGene’s next-generation pipeline assets, including BGB-16673 and sonrotoclax, continue to demonstrate promising clinical activity and generally well-tolerated safety profiles across multiple B-cell malignancies. Together, these programs have enrolled more than 2,500 patients globally (1,900+ patients for sonrotoclax and 600+ patients for BGB-16673) and are positioned to potentially play a significant role in treatment strategies for chronic lymphocytic leukemia (CLL), Waldenström’s macroglobulinemia (WM) and mantle cell lymphoma (MCL). Additionally, presentations further reinforce BRUKINSA’s durable efficacy and consistent safety profile, as well as its position as a foundational therapeutic option in frontline CLL. Key highlights include:

Two oral presentations featuring updated results from the ongoing Phase 1 CaDAnCe-101 study of BGB-16673 in patients with relapsed or refractory (R/R) CLL/SLL and patients with R/R WM, showing continued and promising early efficacy and a tolerable safety profile.
Two oral presentations showcasing updated Phase 1 results of sonrotoclax in combination with BRUKINSA in R/R CLL/SLL and R/R MCL, which demonstrate deep and durable responses. This combination is now under evaluation in the ongoing registrational Phase 3 fixed-duration CELESTIAL-TNCLL study (NCT06073821) in patients with treatment-naïve CLL/SLL, which completed enrollment earlier this year, and CELESTIAL-RRMCL study (NCT06742996) in patients with relapsed / refractory MCL, which is currently enrolling.
Results from Arm C and D of the SEQUOIA study, which evaluated BRUKINSA in patients with TN CLL/SLL and del(17p) (Arm C) and BRUKINSA plus venetoclax in patients with TN CLL/SLL with del(17p) and/or TP53 mutation or without either mutation (Arm D).
Robust analyses across clinical trials and real-world evidence that deepen understanding of treatment patterns, safety, and outcomes in CLL/SLL, MCL and diffuse large B-cell lymphoma (DLBCL).

About Sonrotoclax (BGB-11417)
Sonrotoclax is designed to block the B-cell lymphoma 2 (BCL2) protein, which is one of several proteins that help cancer cells survive. It is part of a group of drugs called BH3 mimetics, which mimic natural cell death signals. Studies in the lab and during early drug development have shown that sonrotoclax is a potent and specific inhibitor of BCL2 with a short half-life and no accumulation. Sonrotoclax has shown promising clinical activity across a range of B-cell malignancies, and more than 1,900 patients have been enrolled to date across the global development program. The U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) granted sonrotoclax Fast Track Designation for the treatment of adult patients with mantle cell lymphoma (MCL) and Waldenström macroglobulinemia (WM).

About BGB‑16673
BGB-16673 is an orally available Bruton’s tyrosine kinase (BTK) targeting protein degrader from BeiGene’s chimeric degradation activation compound (CDAC) platform. BGB-16673 is designed to promote the degradation, or breakdown, of both wildtype and mutant forms of BTK, including those that commonly result in resistance to BTK inhibitors in patients who experience progressive disease. BGB-16673 is the most advanced BTK protein degrader in the clinic, with an extensive global clinical development program. The U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) granted Fast Track Designation to BGB-16673 for the treatment of adult patients with relapsed or refractory (R/R) chronic lymphocytic leukemia or small lymphocytic lymphoma (CLL/SLL), and adult patients with R/R mantle cell lymphoma (MCL).

About BRUKINSA (zanubrutinib)
BRUKINSA is an orally available, small molecule inhibitor of Bruton’s tyrosine kinase (BTK) designed to deliver complete and sustained inhibition of the BTK protein by optimizing bioavailability, half-life, and selectivity. With differentiated pharmacokinetics compared with other approved BTK inhibitors, BRUKINSA has been demonstrated to inhibit the proliferation of malignant B cells within a number of disease-relevant tissues.

BRUKINSA has the broadest label globally of any BTK inhibitor and is the only BTK inhibitor to provide the flexibility of once or twice daily dosing. BRUKINSA is also the only BTK inhibitor to demonstrate superiority to another BTK inhibitor in a Phase 3 study.

The global BRUKINSA clinical development program includes about 7,100 patients enrolled in 30 countries and regions across more than 35 trials. BRUKINSA is approved in more than 75 markets, and more than 200,000 patients have been treated globally.

U.S. Indications and Important Safety Information for BRUKINSA (zanubrutinib)

INDICATIONS

BRUKINSA is a kinase inhibitor indicated for the treatment of adult patients with:

Chronic lymphocytic leukemia (CLL) or small lymphocytic lymphoma (SLL).
Waldenström’s macroglobulinemia (WM).
Mantle cell lymphoma (MCL) who have received at least one prior therapy.
Relapsed or refractory marginal zone lymphoma (MZL) who have received at least one anti-CD20-based regimen.
Relapsed or refractory follicular lymphoma (FL), in combination with obinutuzumab, after two or more lines of systemic therapy.
The MCL, MZL and FL indications are approved under accelerated approval based on overall response rate and durability of response. Continued approval for these indications may be contingent upon verification and description of clinical benefit in confirmatory trials.

IMPORTANT SAFETY INFORMATION

Warnings and Precautions

Hemorrhage

Fatal and serious hemorrhage has occurred in patients with hematological malignancies treated with BRUKINSA. Grade 3 or higher hemorrhage including intracranial and gastrointestinal hemorrhage, hematuria, and hemothorax was reported in 3.8% of patients treated with BRUKINSA in clinical trials, with fatalities occurring in 0.2% of patients. Bleeding of any grade, excluding purpura and petechiae, occurred in 32% of patients.

Bleeding has occurred in patients with and without concomitant antiplatelet or anticoagulation therapy. Coadministration of BRUKINSA with antiplatelet or anticoagulant medications may further increase the risk of hemorrhage.

Monitor for signs and symptoms of bleeding. Discontinue BRUKINSA if intracranial hemorrhage of any grade occurs. Consider the benefit-risk of withholding BRUKINSA for 3-7 days before and after surgery depending upon the type of surgery and the risk of bleeding.

Infections

Fatal and serious infections (including bacterial, viral, or fungal infections) and opportunistic infections have occurred in patients with hematological malignancies treated with BRUKINSA. Grade 3 or higher infections occurred in 26% of patients, most commonly pneumonia (7.9%), with fatal infections occurring in 3.2% of patients. Infections due to hepatitis B virus (HBV) reactivation have occurred.

Consider prophylaxis for herpes simplex virus, pneumocystis jirovecii pneumonia, and other infections according to standard of care in patients who are at increased risk for infections. Monitor and evaluate patients for fever or other signs and symptoms of infection and treat appropriately.

Cytopenias

Grade 3 or 4 cytopenias, including neutropenia (21%), thrombocytopenia (8%) and anemia (8%) based on laboratory measurements, developed in patients treated with BRUKINSA. Grade 4 neutropenia occurred in 10% of patients, and Grade 4 thrombocytopenia occurred in 2.5% of patients.

Monitor complete blood counts regularly during treatment and interrupt treatment, reduce the dose, or discontinue treatment as warranted. Treat using growth factor or transfusions, as needed.

Second Primary Malignancies

Second primary malignancies, including non-skin carcinoma, have occurred in 14% of patients treated with BRUKINSA. The most frequent second primary malignancy was non-melanoma skin cancers (8%), followed by other solid tumors in 7% of the patients (including melanoma in 1% of patients) and hematologic malignancies (0.7%). Advise patients to use sun protection and monitor patients for the development of second primary malignancies.

Cardiac Arrhythmias

Serious cardiac arrhythmias have occurred in patients treated with BRUKINSA. Atrial fibrillation and atrial flutter were reported in 4.4% patients treated with BRUKINSA, including Grade 3 or higher cases in 1.9% of patients. Patients with cardiac risk factors, hypertension, and acute infections may be at increased risk. Grade 3 or higher ventricular arrhythmias were reported in 0.3% of patients.

Monitor for signs and symptoms of cardiac arrhythmias (e.g., palpitations, dizziness, syncope, dyspnea, chest discomfort), manage appropriately, and consider the risks and benefits of continued BRUKINSA treatment.

Hepatotoxicity, Including Drug-Induced Liver Injury

Hepatotoxicity, including severe, life-threatening, and potentially fatal cases of drug-induced liver injury (DILI), has occurred in patients treated with Bruton tyrosine kinase inhibitors, including BRUKINSA.

Evaluate bilirubin and transaminases at baseline and throughout treatment with BRUKINSA. For patients who develop abnormal liver tests after BRUKINSA, monitor more frequently for liver test abnormalities and clinical signs and symptoms of hepatic toxicity. If DILI is suspected, withhold BRUKINSA. Upon confirmation of DILI, discontinue BRUKINSA.

Embryo-Fetal Toxicity

Based on findings in animals, BRUKINSA can cause fetal harm when administered to a pregnant woman. Administration of zanubrutinib to pregnant rats during the period of organogenesis caused embryo-fetal toxicity, including malformations at exposures that were 5 times higher than those reported in patients at the recommended dose of 160 mg twice daily. Advise women to avoid becoming pregnant while taking BRUKINSA and for 1 week after the last dose. Advise men to avoid fathering a child during treatment and for 1 week after the last dose. If this drug is used during pregnancy, or if the patient becomes pregnant while taking this drug, the patient should be apprised of the potential hazard to a fetus.

Adverse Reactions

The most common adverse reactions (≥30%), including laboratory abnormalities, in patients who received BRUKINSA (N=1729) are decreased neutrophil count (51%), decreased platelet count (41%), upper respiratory tract infection (38%), hemorrhage (32%), and musculoskeletal pain (31%).

Drug Interactions

CYP3A Inhibitors: When BRUKINSA is co-administered with a strong CYP3A inhibitor, reduce BRUKINSA dose to 80 mg once daily. For coadministration with a moderate CYP3A inhibitor, reduce BRUKINSA dose to 80 mg twice daily.

CYP3A Inducers: Avoid coadministration with strong or moderate CYP3A inducers. Dose adjustment may be recommended with moderate CYP3A inducers.

Specific Populations

Hepatic Impairment: The recommended dose of BRUKINSA for patients with severe hepatic impairment is 80 mg orally twice daily.
