SAN DIEGO & TOKYO– MEI Pharma, Inc. (NASDAQ: MEIP), a late-stage pharmaceutical company focused on advancing new therapies for cancer, and Kyowa Kirin Co., Ltd. (Kyowa Kirin, TSE: 4151), a global specialty pharmaceutical company creating innovative medical solutions utilizing the latest biotechnology, today announced that data from the zandelisib clinical development program, including the Phase 2 TIDAL study evaluating the intermittent dosing of zandelisib, an orally administered investigational phosphatidylinositol 3-kinase delta (“PI3Kδ”) inhibitor in clinical development for the treatment of B-cell malignancies, is highlighted in a poster and an oral discussion session at the European Hematology Association 2022 Hybrid Congress.
“While many patients with indolent non-Hodgkin’s lymphomas, such as follicular lymphoma, achieve durable responses with current standard of care therapies, patients generally continue to need multiple treatments throughout the course of their disease due to relapse, necessitating the development of novel treatment options,” stated Professor Wojciech Jurczak, M.D., Ph.D. Department of Clinical Oncology, Maria Sklodowska-Curie National Research Institute of Oncology in Kraków, Poland, presenter of the Phase 2 TIDAL study oral presentation and the Phase 3 COASTAL study principal investigator. “I believe the data presented at EHA this year are very exciting and supportive of the zandelisib development program, particularly as we continue to enroll the Phase 3 COASTAL study evaluating zandelisib in combination with rituximab.”
