ASH: Roche Looks To Fixed-Duration Edge In Bispecifics Battle

Roche is highlighting the fixed-duration dosing benefits of Lunsumio and Columvi over AbbVie/Genmab’s Epkinly in B-cell lymphomas as they fight for market dominance. However, the speed at which the companies complete Phase III studies could also be a deciding factor.

Roche is looking to Phase III clinical trial results to show its Lunsumio and Columvi are the best new bispecific therapies in B-cell lymphomas, and is also highlighting patient convenience and economics as it tries to get ahead of AbbVie/Genmab’s rival CD20XCD3-targeting bispecific, Epkinly.

The company is emphasizing the benefits of its approach of using a fixed duration of treatment with Lunsumio (mosunetuzumab) in follicular lymphoma and Columvi (glofitamab) in large B-cell lymphoma, backed up by new real-world data

Key Takeaways
  • Roche has a two-drug approach, with the less potent but more tolerable Lunsumio leading in FL and Columvi used in large B-cell lymphoma.
  • The rivalry with AbbVie/Genmab's Epkinly is close, while Regeneron's similar product, Ordspono is also now approved in Europe
