On the eve of the American Society of Hematology annual meeting, Regeneron Pharmaceuticals, Inc. released data on its multiple myeloma drug candidate linvoseltamab that should support its submission to the US Food and Drug Administration this year. Linvoseltamab isn’t getting top billing among Regeneron’s presentations at ASH, but the Tarrytown, NY-based company will present additional data that will support the drug’s profile in a competitive class.

The company is presenting results from an earlier data cut, with eight months of follow-up, in a poster at ASH, along additional poster presentations
