Novartis highlights new 96-week results from Phase III Scemblix® ASC4FIRST trial at ASH and late-breaking analysis from Phase III Kisqali® NATALEE trial at SABCS.
- Longer-term 96-week results from Scemblix® ASC4FIRST Phase III study in first-line Ph+ CML-CP to be presented following recent FDA approval based on 48-week data
- Late-breaking Kisqali®* 4-year analysis on distant disease-free survival in key subgroups with HR+/HER2- early breast cancer from Phase III NATALEE trial also to be presented
- Pipeline updates demonstrate advancement in research and development programs in hematologic diseases and cancers
Novartis will present data from more than 65 abstracts, including investigator-initiated trials at the 66th American Society of Hematology (ASH) Annual Meeting & Exposition and the 2024 San Antonio Breast Cancer Symposium® (SABCS).
“By prioritizing research in areas of greatest medical need and focusing on earlier stages of disease, we aim to change the treatment paradigm for people who require additional treatment options,” said Jeff Legos, Executive Vice President, Global Head of Oncology Development, Novartis. “The new data being presented at ASH and SABCS underscore our commitment to patients with cancer or blood disorders and follow new, expanded indications for Scemblix and Kisqali along with recent updates in national treatment guidelines.”
In addition to late-breaking data, Novartis will host an art gallery-style exhibit at SABCS featuring personal letters and stories written by people impacted by breast cancer, sharing their raw, authentic perspectives on aspects of the breast cancer journey. These letters and stories aim to uplift patients, encourage reflection, and demonstrate strength and unity among the breast cancer community.
