POTELIGEO more than doubled median progression-free survival vs vorinostat1
Primary endpoint:
PFS (Investigator-assessed)
Vorinostat
(n=186)
POTELIGEO
(n=186)
reduction in the risk of disease progression HR=0.53 (P<0.001) 95% Cl: 0.41, 0.69

POTELIGEO achieved greater ORR and longer DoR vs vorinostat1
Secondary endpoint: ORR
(P<0.001)

Overall response was defined as2,3 | ||||
≥50% improvement in skin | + | ≥50% improvement in at least 1 other involved compartment | + | No progression of disease in any compartment |

Secondary endpoint: DoR (median)1

- ORR was based on global composite response score. Responses in blood and skin must have persisted for at least 4 weeks to be considered confirmed and were evaluated every 4 weeks for the first year. Responses in lymph nodes, in visceral disease, and overall were evaluated every 8 weeks for the first year.1
- Median dose intensity was >95% for both treatment arms.2
POTELIGEO had a median time to response of about 1 month in blood and 3 months in skin2,b-g
Time to response was measured based on a post hoc analysis; a finding from the post hoc analysis cannot be used to demonstrate differences between treatments and may not be applicable to all patients initiating POTELIGEO.
Post hoc analysis: time to response

- aRepresents complete or partial best overall response rate. Best overall response was defined as the best response from the start of treatment until disease progression/recurrence or end of treatment.3
- bResponse was defined by international response criteria for Mycosis Fungoides and Sézary Syndrome.4
- cResponses in skin and blood must have persisted for ≥4 weeks to be confirmed and were evaluated every 4 weeks during treatment.1,3
- dResponses in lymph nodes were evaluated at 4 weeks, then every 8 weeks for the first year, and every 16 weeks thereafter.2
- eResponse in skin defined as ≥50% clearance of skin disease without new tumors, evaluated using the modified Severity-Weighted Assessment Tool (mSWAT).3
- fResponse in blood defined as >50% decrease in high blood tumor burden (B2), assessed by central flow cytometry.3
- gResponse in lymph nodes defined as cumulative reduction ≥50% of measurable disease of each abnormal lymph node and no new abnormal lymph nodes, evaluated by computed tomography (CT) scans.3
- CCR4=C-C chemokine receptor type 4; CNS=central nervous system; CR=complete response; CTCL=cutaneous T-cell lymphoma; DoR=duration of response; ORR=overall response rate; PFS=progression-free survival; PO=by mouth; PR=partial response; R/R=relapsed or refractory
POTELIGEO has a consistent safety profile with up to 5 years of data7
