AstraZeneca's Calquence flunks mid-stage COVID-19 study

  • AstraZeneca (NASDAQ:AZN) reports Phase II results from The CALAVI trials investigating BTK inhibitor Calquence (acalabrutinib) plus best supportive care (BSC) versus BSC alone in hospitalised patients with COVID-19 disease.
  • Calquence did not meet the primary efficacy endpoint. The addition of Calquence to BSC did not increase the proportion of patients who remained alive and free of respiratory failure.
  • No new safety signal was observed in the trials.
  • The safety and tolerability profiles for Calquence in the CALAVI program were consistent with previous trials.
  • The data will be presented in due course.
