Ascentage Pharma to Present Results from Three Clinical Studies of Bcl-2 Inhibitor Lisaftoclax (APG-2575), Including the First Data in AML and MM

 Ascentage Pharma a global biopharmaceutical company engaged in developing novel therapies for cancer, chronic hepatitis B (CHB), and age-related diseases, announced today that results from three clinical studies of lisaftoclax (APG-2575), a key candidate drug in the Company's pipeline, have been selected for presentations at the 65^th American Society of Hematology (ASH) Annual Meeting, marking the second consecutive year in which clinical results of lisaftoclax were selected. This year, results from multiple clinical studies on two of Ascentage Pharma's lead drug candidates (olverembatinib and lisaftoclax) have been selected for presentations at the ASH Annual Meeting. Developed by Ascentage Pharma, lisaftoclax is an orally available Bcl-2 inhibitor with a wide therapeutic window in multiple hematologic malignancies and solid tumors. The investigational clinical data of lisaftoclax in patients with chronic lymphocytic leukemia (CLL), to be presented at the ASH Annual Meeting this year, once again demonstrate the drug's efficacy and favorable tolerability in patients with CLL who were heavily pretreated and had prior exposure to BTK inhibitors. In two other abstracts on lisaftoclax, results were disclosed from clinical studies of the drug as a single agent and in combination regimens in multiple hematologic malignancies, including relapsed/refractory (R/R) multiple myeloma (MM) and acute myeloid leukemia (AML).

The ASH Annual Meeting is one of the largest gatherings of the international hematology community, bringing together the latest and most cutting-edge scientific research in the pathogenesis and clinical treatment of hematologic diseases. The 65^th ASH Annual Meeting will take place on December 9-12, 2023, both online and in-person, in San Diego, CA (United States).

"Lisaftoclax is the first Bcl-2 inhibitor in China and the second globally that has demonstrated promising efficacy. Clinical results to be presented at the ASH Annual Meeting this year further validate the drug's potential as an alternative treatment option for a number of hematologic malignancies, including R/R CLL," said Dr. Yifan Zhai, Chief Medical Officer of Ascentage Pharma. "In addition, we will also present data of a few more clinical studies that will underscore our broad progress in new drug discovery and clinical development. Moving forward, we will continue to expeditiously advance our clinical development programs globally for the benefit of patients in China and around the world."
