GSK's Blenrep Demonstrates Superior Survival in Myeloma Trials Competing with J&J's Darzalex
GSK is showing strong optimism for the future market performance of Blenrep, driven by promising results from the phase 3 DREAMM-7 trial which demonstrated superior survival rates when compared to J&J's Darzalex. The combination of Blenrep with bortezomib and dexamethasone has shown substantial potential in reducing disease progression, with a 60% improvement in survival benefits[1][2]. The renewed confidence comes after overcoming earlier setbacks, including Blenrep's market withdrawal in 2022 due to failures in monotherapy trials. However, GSK's strategic relaunch is buoyed by plans to expand its applications with new combination therapies and potential first-line treatments, aiming at significant market share in the multiple myeloma space[1][2].
