BeiGene: Overall Survival Benefit for Tislelizumab Plus Chemo in First-Line Esophageal Cancer

 BeiGene (NASDAQ: BGNE; HKEX: 06160; SSE: 688235), a global, science-driven biotechnology company focused on developing innovative and affordable medicines to improve treatment outcomes and access for patients worldwide, today announced new data from RATIONALE 306, a global Phase 3 trial evaluating tislelizumab plus chemotherapy in adult patients with advanced or metastatic esophageal squamous cell carcinoma (ESCC) without prior systemic treatment for advanced disease. Study results presented today as a late-breaking oral presentation at the 2022 European Society for Medical Oncology (ESMO) World Congress on Gastrointestinal Cancer (Abstract #LBA-1) showed a statistically significant and clinically meaningful improvement in overall survival (OS) for patients receiving tislelizumab in combination with chemotherapy with a median OS of 17.2 months [95% CI: 15.8,20.1] versus 10.6 months [95% CI: 9.3,12.1] for those receiving chemotherapy plus placebo. The combination of tislelizumab with chemotherapy reduced the risk of death by 34% (HR=0.66 [95% CI: 0.54,0.80, p<0.0001]) compared to chemotherapy plus placebo.
