BGB-16673 Receives US FDA Fast Track Designation for CLL/SLL
“When disease progression for patients on BTK inhibitors occurs, there is a need for BTK-targeting agents with a different mode of action given the centrality of this pathway in CLL/SLL. BTK-protein degradation with our BTK CDAC (BGB-16673) may address this unmet need,” said Mehrdad Mobasher, M.D., M.P.H., Chief Medical Officer, Hematology. “The FDA’s Fast Track Designation supports our goal of efficiently developing BGB-16673 for these patients, the first investigational drug from our CDAC platform. We believe BGB-16673 strengthens our hematology leadership and complements BRUKINSA (zanubrutinib), the backbone for our investigational hematology pipeline. BGB-16673 is the most advanced BTK degrader in the clinic and is well-suited to become an important therapy for patients progressing after BTKi who have limited options.”
