Sonrotoclax Data at ASH 2025 Confirm Foundational Potential Across B-cell Malignancies

Novel BCL2 inhibitor sonrotoclax monotherapy demonstrates deep and durable clinical responses in R/R MCL and R/R CLL

Sonrotoclax in combination with BRUKINSA demonstrated rapid MRD negativity in treatment-naive CLL, regardless of high-risk features

SAN CARLOS, Calif.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--$ONC#BeOne--BeOne Medicines Ltd.(Nasdaq: ONC; HKEX: 06160; SSE: 688235), a global oncology company, today announced new data on sonrotoclax, a next-generation investigational BCL2 inhibitor, demonstrating meaningful clinical benefit as monotherapy and in combination across B-cell malignancies. These data were featured at the 67th American Society of Hematology (ASH) Annual Meeting & Exposition in Orlando, Florida. The five presentations highlight durable responses in heavily pretreated patients with relapsed/refractory (R/R) mantle cell lymphoma (MCL) and additional studies showing deep, rapid, and sustained undetectable minimal residual disease (uMRD) rates with sonrotoclax-based combinations in patients with treatment-naive chronic lymphocytic leukemia (CLL), highlighting the foundational potential of this medicine.

“The data we’re presenting at ASH 2025 are redefining what physicians can expect from sonrotoclax as a next-generation BCL2 inhibitor,” said Amit Agarwal, M.D., Ph.D., Chief Medical Officer, Hematology, BeOne. “Our data demonstrates that sonrotoclax has succeeded where others have failed, achieving deep and durable responses as a monotherapy in both R/R CLL and MCL and notably fast kinetics as a combination therapy in treatment-naïve CLL. With these results, we believe sonrotoclax will become a foundational medicine in B-cell malignancies, potentially transforming outcomes for patients worldwide.”

Sonrotoclax could become the first BCL2 inhibitor indicated for R/R MCL in the U.S., based on data showing an overall response rate (ORR) of 52.4%. (Oral Presentation: 663; December 7 from 5:00-5:15 PM EST)

In this Phase 1/2, global, multicenter, single-arm, open-label study (NCT05471843), ORR by IRC was 52.4% (95% CI, 42.4-62.4) with a complete response (CR) rate of 15.5% (95% CI, 9.1-24.0) in patients with R/R MCL post-treatment with anti-CD20 therapy and a BTK inhibitor treated with 320 mg of sonrotoclax (n=103). Notably, ORR by IRC benefit was consistent across patients with high-risk disease subtypes, including patients withTP53mutation, a key prognostic marker for MCL. In this patient group, ORR by IRC was 59.1% (95% CI, 36.3-79.3).

At a median study follow-up of 14.2 months (range, 0.3-24.9 months), the median duration of response (DOR) by IRC was 15.8 months (95% CI, 7.4 months-NE) and has yet to reach full maturity. The median time to response (TTR) was 1.9 months (range 1.6-6.5 months), and the median progression-free survival (PFS) was 6.5 months (95% CI: 4.0-10.4).

Treatment with sonrotoclax monotherapy was generally well tolerated, and adverse events were manageable. The most common grade ≥3 treatment-emergent adverse events (TEAEs) in greater than 10% of patients were neutropenia (19.1%), infections (16.5%), and pneumonia (10.4%).

These data are underPriority Review by the U.S Food and Drug Administrationfor potential accelerated approval.

“Achieving deep and durable responses in relapsed or refractory mantle cell lymphoma after BTK inhibitor therapy has been a long-standing challenge,” said Michael Wang, M.D., Professor, Department of Lymphoma and Myeloma, The University of Texas MD Anderson Cancer Center, and presenting author of the study. “In this analysis, sonrotoclax monotherapy demonstrated meaningful and lasting responses in heavily pretreated patients, including those with high-risk disease. These findings are highly encouraging and suggest this next-generation BCL2 inhibitor could play a foundational role in improving outcomes for patients with limited treatment options.”

Sonrotoclax combinations demonstrate fast responses with unmatched uMRD rates and notably better kinetics than current options

BGB-11417-101 (NCT04277637) is an ongoing, phase 1/1b, dose-escalation/expansion study in patients with B-cell malignancies. Results presented at ASH showcase data from sonrotoclax combinations in patients with treatment-naive (TN) CLL/SLL. Notable highlights include:

Sonrotoclax monotherapy achieves an ORR by IRC of 76%, with a CR/CRi of 19%, in patients with R/R CLL/SLL, demonstrating rapid and deep responses (Poster Presentation: 5666)

BGB-11417-202 (NCT05479994) is an open-label, phase 2, and a potential registrational study evaluating the efficacy and safety of sonrotoclax in 100 heavily pretreated patients with R/R CLL/SLL. At a median follow-up of 14.4 months (range, 0.2-27.5 months), primary analysis results show:

About Mantle Cell Lymphoma

Mantle cell lymphoma (MCL) is a rare subtype of aggressive B-cell non-Hodgkin lymphoma (NHL)1that develops in B-cells located in the mantle zone of the lymph nodes. MCL accounts for approximately 5% of all NHL cases globally2, affecting an estimated 28,000 people3. MCL is often diagnosed at advanced stages4and nearly all MCL patients will eventually develop refractory or relapsed (R/R) disease.5The five-year survival rate for MCL is approximately 50%, reflecting the urgent need for new therapeutic options.6

About Chronic Lymphocytic Leukemia

Chronic lymphocytic leukemia (CLL) is a life-threatening cancer of adults. It is a type of mature B-cell malignancy in which abnormal leukemic B lymphocytes (a type of white blood cells) arise from the bone marrow and flood peripheral blood, bone marrow, and lymphoid tissues.7,8CLL is the most common type of leukemia in adults, accounting for about one-third of new cases.2,9

About Sonrotoclax (BGB-11417)

Sonrotoclax is a next-generation and potentially best-in-class investigational B-cell lymphoma 2 (BCL2) inhibitor with a unique pharmacokinetic and pharmacodynamic profile. Laboratory studies during early drug development have shown that sonrotoclax is a highly potent and specific BCL2 inhibitor with a short half-life and no drug accumulation. Sonrotoclax has shown promising clinical activity across a range of B-cell malignancies and is in development as a monotherapy and in combination with other therapeutics, including BRUKINSA. Notably, in early clinical trials, sonrotoclax plus BRUKINSA has demonstrated rapid and unprecedented rates of undetectable minimal residual disease (uMRD) in treatment-naïve patients with CLL. To date, more than 2,200 patients have been enrolled across the broad sonrotoclax global development program.

The U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) granted Breakthrough Therapy Designation (BTD) for sonrotoclax for the treatment of adult patients with relapsed or refractory (R/R) mantle cell lymphoma (MCL). In addition, the FDA has granted sonrotoclax Fast Track Designation for MCL and Waldenström macroglobulinemia, as well as Orphan Drug Designation for the treatment of adult patients with MCL, WM, multiple myeloma, acute myeloid leukemia, and myelodysplastic syndrome.
