Takeda to Present Oncology Portfolio and Pipeline Data at the 2023 ASCO Annual Meeting and EHA Congress

CAMBRIDGE, Mass. & OSAKA, Japan - Friday, 26. May 2023

(BUSINESS WIRE) -- Takeda (TSE: 4502/NYSE:TAK) today announced that it will present data from its expanding oncology pipeline and established product portfolio at the 59th Annual Meeting of the American Society of Clinical Oncology (ASCO) being held June 2-6, 2023, in Chicago, Ill. and the 31st Congress of the European Hematology Association (EHA), June 8-11, 2023, in Frankfurt, Germany.

The company’s presence at ASCO 2023 will underscore Takeda’s growing solid tumor portfolio, with research focused on improving treatment for metastatic colorectal cancer (CRC), as well as rare forms of oncogene-driven non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC). Within its hematology portfolio, Takeda will present data in oral sessions at both ASCO and EHA on a head-to-head Phase 3 study comparing targeted treatments in newly diagnosed patients with Philadelphia-positive acute lymphoblastic leukemia (Ph+ ALL).

“Over the past year, we have made significant advancements with our pipeline – both in progress with our innate immunity enhancers and in further diversifying our pipeline – aiming to ultimately deliver transformative medicines to patients who need them most,” said Awny Farajallah, M.D., head, global medical affairs, oncology at Takeda. “With our aspiration to cure cancer in mind, we are excited to share data from our newly expanded solid tumor portfolio featuring results in colorectal cancer, as well as research from our established hematological portfolio where we continue to explore the potential for a new standard of care treatment in acute lymphoblastic leukemia.”

A full list of company-sponsored abstracts are available for ASCO (here) and EHA (here).
