Pharmacyclics, Inc. PCYC announced today interim results from an ongoing Phase II trial of the selective irreversible Bruton's tyrosine kinase inhibitor PCI-32765 in MCL. Dr. Michael Wang, Director of Mantle Cell Lymphoma Program at the University of Texas MD Anderson Cancer Center, presented these data at the ASH Annual Meeting in San Diego, CA. In this interim report, the investigational agent PCI-32765 demonstrated a high rate of overall response as a single therapy in patients with relapsed or refractory MCL, including patients that had been previously treated with the FDA-approved agent bortezomib (Velcade®).
MCL is a B-cell lymphoma that is relatively rare, with about 16,000 people living with the disease in the U.S.
