Bayer Provides Update on Aliqopa® (copanlisib)

Bayer today announced that, following discussions with the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA), it will work with the FDA on a voluntary withdrawal of the Aliqopa® (copanlisib) U.S. New Drug Application for adult patients with relapsed follicular lymphoma (FL) who have received at least two prior systemic therapies.

Aliqopa® was granted accelerated approval by the FDA in September 2017 based on CHRONOS-1, an open-label, single-arm Phase II study. The FDA required clinical benefit to be confirmed through the CHRONOS-4 study. In the study, the addition of Aliqopa® to standard immunochemotherapy regimens did not meet the primary endpoint of progression-free survival benefit versus the standard immunochemotherapy control arm in patients with relapsed follicular lymphoma. Bayer intends to publish the results of CHRONOS-4 in a timely manner.

Bayer is exploring access options for patients currently receiving Aliqopa® who have experienced a favorable response to treatment, whose treating physician supports continuing treatment with Aliqopa®, and for whom there may be no suitable alternative treatments available. Patients currently being treated with Aliqopa® should consult their healthcare provider. No new patients should be prescribed Aliqopa®. For questions related to ongoing access, please contact Bayer Medical Communications at 1-888-84-Bayer.
