Late-breaking data from exploratory analyses at WCLC show Libtayo plus chemotherapy demonstrates a more than double five-year overall survival rate of 19.4%, compared to 8.8% with chemotherapy alone In a five-year analysis, consistent efficacy was observed across histologies with especially notable benefit in the squamous patient population where median overall survival was 22.3 months TARRYTOWN, N.Y. , Sept. 09, 2025 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Regeneron Pharmaceuticals, Inc. (NASDAQ: REGN) today announced five-year follow-up results on overall survival (OS) from the Phase 3 EMPOWER-Lung 3 trial, which evaluated Libtayo® (cemiplimab) plus platinum-based chemotherapy versus chemotherapy alone as a first-line treatment for adults with locally advanced or metastatic non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) with no EGFR, ALK or ROS1 aberrations. The late-breaking data will be presented in a mini oral session at the IASLC 2025 World Conference on Lung Cancer (WCLC) hosted by the International Association for the Study of Lung Cancer . “After more than five years of follow-up, the EMPOWER-Lung 3 trial continues to demonstrate sustained survival – with an impressive overall survival probability of 19.4% at five years – when Libtayo is added to chemotherapy in patients with advanced non-small cell lung cancer,” said Ana Baramidze , M.D., Ph.D., Head of Clinical Research Department at Todua Clinic , Tbilisi, Georgia . “Long-term results across tumor histologies were also reported, including a notable 22.3-month median overall survival for squamous NSCLC patients. Collectively, these data underscore Libtayo’s utility across a variety of patient types, both as a single agent and in combination with chemotherapy.” The five-year results for Libtayo plus chemotherapy presented at WCLC add to the breadth of long-term data for Libtayo in advanced NSCLC, including five-year outcomes from the EMPOWER-Lung 1 trial that were presented at WCLC 2024 confirming durable survival benefit as monotherapy. At this year’s WCLC, five-year efficacy results, with a median follow-up of 60.9 months, found Libtayo plus chemotherapy remained superior to chemotherapy alone: 21.1-month median OS versus 12.9 months, representing a 34% reduction in the risk of death (hazard ratio [HR]: 0.66; 95% confidence interval [CI]: 0.53–0.83). The five-year probability of survival was 19.4% for the Libtayo combination versus 8.8% for chemotherapy. 8.2-month median progression-free survival (PFS) versus 5.5 months, representing a 42% reduction in the risk of disease progression (HR: 0.58; 95% CI: 0.47–0.72). 43.6% objective response rate (ORR) versus 22.1%. The ORR included a complete response rate of 6.4% versus 0%.       16.4-month median duration of response (DoR) versus 7.3 months. Also presented at WCLC were exploratory subgroup analyses that demonstrated survival benefits for patients treated with Libtayo plus chemotherapy compared to chemotherapy alone regardless of tumor histology or PD-L1 expression level. Specific efficacy results included a: 22.3-month median OS among patients with squamous histology (n=133) versus 13.8 months (n=67), representing a 32% reduction in risk of death (HR: 0.68; 95% CI: 0.49–0.94). 19.4-month median OS among patients with non-squamous histology (n=179) versus 12.4 months (n=87), representing a 38% reduction in risk of death (HR: 0.62, 95% CI: 0.46–0.82). 24.0-month median OS among patients with PD-L1 ≥1% (n=217) versus 12.1 months (n=110), representing a 46% reduction in risk of death (HR: 0.54; 95% CI: 0.41–0.70). The safety profile at five years remained consistent with previously reported data. The median duration of exposure was 39 weeks to Libtayo plus chemotherapy and 21 weeks to chemotherapy alone. Adverse events (AEs) of any grade occurred in 96.5% of Libtayo plus chemotherapy patients (49% ≥Grade 3) and 95% of chemotherapy patients (33% ≥Grade 3). The most common AEs of any grade occurring in at least 10% of Libtayo plus chemotherapy patients included anemia (46%), alopecia (38%), nausea (25%), increase of alanine aminotransferase (18%), arthralgia (18%), decreased appetite (18%), hyperglycemia (18%), increase of aspartate transaminase (16%), neutropenia (16%), fatigue (15%), constipation (14%), thrombocytopenia (14%), dyspnea (14%), asthenia (13.5%), vomiting (13%), decreased weight (13%), increased blood creatinine (13%), insomnia (12%), hypoalbuminemia (11%), diarrhea (11%). Among Libtayo patients, treatment-related adverse events were ≥Grade 3 in 30% and led to permanent discontinuation in 4.5% and death in 1%, compared to 18%, 1% and 0.7% in the chemotherapy arm, respectively. About the Phase 3 TrialThe randomized, multicenter Phase 3 trial, called EMPOWER-Lung 3, investigated a first-line combination treatment of Libtayo and platinum-doublet chemotherapy, compared to platinum-doublet chemotherapy alone. The trial enrolled 466 patients with locally advanced or metastatic NSCLC, as well as squamous or non-squamous histologies across all PD-L1 expression levels and with no ALK, EGFR and ROS1 aberrations. Patients were randomized 2:1 to receive either Libtayo 350 mg (n=312) or placebo (n=154) administered intravenously every 3 weeks for 108 weeks, plus platinum-doublet chemotherapy administered every 3 weeks for 4 cycles. The primary endpoint was OS, and key secondary endpoints were PFS and ORR. The probability of survival and PFS were calculated according to Kaplan-Meier estimates. Notably, patients in the trial had a variety of baseline characteristics commonly considered difficult-to-treat. Among those enrolled, 43% had tumors with squamous histology, 67% had tumors with <50% PD-L1 expression, 15% had inoperable locally advanced disease not eligible for definitive chemoradiation, and 7% had pretreated and clinically stable brain metastases. Additionally, 84% of patients had an ECOG 1 performance status. ECOG performance status assesses patient ability to conduct daily living activities and prognosis on a scale of increasing severity ranging from 0 (no symptoms) to 5 (death).

In separate cat and birch allergen-challenge trials, single doses of allergen-specific antibody blockers significantly reduced allergy symptoms compared to placebo Data from these trials will support further Phase 3 development TARRYTOWN, N.Y. , Sept. 08, 2025 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Regeneron Pharmaceuticals, Inc. (NASDAQ: REGN) today announced results evaluating its first-in-class investigational allergen-blocking antibodies in allergen-challenge Phase 3 trials in adults with moderate-to-severe cat or birch allergies. Both trials met their respective primary and key secondary endpoints. Data from the Phase 3 trials will be presented at an upcoming medical conference and will inform confirmatory Phase 3 trials. “Millions suffer from the debilitating effects of allergies, which can cause severe symptoms in the eyes, nose, skin and even trigger asthma. To try to alleviate this suffering, millions undergo allergy desensitization shots, often several times a week for several years, and often with disappointing results. The purpose of these burdensome allergy shots is to try to build up allergen-blocking antibodies in the body. We wondered whether we could instead manufacture and directly provide allergen-blocking antibodies,” said George D. Yancopoulos , M.D., Ph.D., Board co-Chair, President and Chief Scientific Officer at Regeneron , and a co-inventor of this new approach to allergy. “These recent Phase 3 allergen challenge trials, together with our earlier Phase 2 trials, provide compelling evidence that our first-in-class approach can have the potential to provide profound allergy relief – rapidly and durably after a single treatment – decreasing ocular, nasal and even asthma measures. We see significant relief at the earliest assessment timepoint, and lasting for over three months, in both our cat and birch allergy programs.” In these “ocular allergen challenge” Phase 3 trials, patients received direct ocular instillation of the allergen (either cat dander or birch pollen) at day 8 following a single subcutaneous administration of the allergen-blocking antibodies. Trial endpoints assessed signs and symptoms of ocular allergy measured after instillation of allergen in the eye.a Earlier Regeneron trials evaluated “nasal allergen challenges” and “environmental exposure unit (EEU) allergen challenges.” Allergen-blocking antibody treatment in Cat-allergen “Ocular Challenge” Trial: Cat allergy is one of the most common indoor allergens, affecting more than 20 million patients in the U.S. alone, often resulting in severe ocular, nasal and respiratory symptoms despite standard of care therapies (ranging from topical and systemic antihistamines to allergy-desensitization shots; about a million patients in the U.S. initiate cat allergy desensitization shots each year). REGN1908 and REGN1909 are two fully human monoclonal antibodies (mAbs) targeting and blocking FelD1 – the most dominant cat allergen – which “doggedly” clings to clothes, shoes and furniture, making it challenging to avoid even in cat-free indoor environments. In the Phase 3 trial, cat-allergic participants were randomized to receive a single dose of the FelD1-blocking antibody combination therapy (REGN1908 and REGN1909, n=33) or placebo (n=31). The primary endpoint of ocular itch and both key secondary endpoints of conjunctival redness and skin prick testing – assessed one week after the single treatment with FelD1-blocking antibodies – were met with high degree of statistical significance in the overall population. Itch was reduced by 52% (p<0.0001), conjunctival redness by 39% (p<0.0001) and skin prick reactivity by 44% (p<0.0001). In a post-hoc exploratory analysis of patients whose cat allergy was more specifically driven by FelD1 (the majority of the population, and the target patients for the confirmatory trial), reductions in ocular itch and conjunctival redness were greater compared to the overall population (ocular itch reduction of 64% and conjunctival redness reduction of 49%). The combination therapy was generally well-tolerated, with no serious treatment-related adverse events or adverse events leading to trial discontinuation reported; the trial is ongoing for further safety follow-up. Additional Phase 3 development is planned to begin in the first half of 2026. The results in this "ocular challenge" trial are similar to earlier trials using “nasal allergen challenge” and “EEU allergen challenge,” which evaluated nasal and respiratory symptoms including asthma induction in those trials. In those earlier trials, statistically and clinically meaningful improvement was also seen at the earliest assessment done at 8 days following administration of REGN1908 and REGN1909, with durable benefit maintained for at least 3 months. Allergen-blocking antibody treatment in Birch-allergen “Ocular Challenge” Trial:Birch pollen is one of the most common seasonal allergens in the U.S. , affecting more than 10 million people. About 35% of patients continue to experience moderate to severe symptoms despite standard of care therapy. REGN5713 and REGN5715 are two mAbs targeting and blocking BetV1, the dominant allergenic birch pollen protein. In the Phase 3 trial, participants were randomized to receive a single dose of the BetV1-blocking antibody combination (REGN5713 and REGN5715, n=27) or placebo (n=27). The primary endpoint of ocular itch and both key secondary endpoints of conjunctival redness and skin prick testing – assessed one week after the single treatment with BetV1-blocking antibodies – were met with high degree of statistical significance. Itch was reduced by 51% (p<0.0001), conjunctival redness by 46% (p<0.0001), and skin prick reactivity by 44% (p<0.0001). The combination therapy was generally well-tolerated, with no serious adverse events or adverse events leading to trial discontinuation. Additional Phase 3 development is planned to begin by the end of the year. Prior “nasal allergen challenge” and “EEU allergen challenge”b trials of REGN5713 and REGN5715 in patients with birch-induced allergic rhinitis revealed similarly rapid and profound benefit at the first assessment timepoint, with durable reduction of allergic rhinitis and conjunctivitis symptoms up to 3 months following a single subcutaneous administration of the allergen-blocking antibodies. The cat and birch allergy programs are part of a broader allergy pipeline, which also includes an ongoing proof-of-concept trial in adults with severe food allergy. This latter trial involves ablating the cells making the IgE antibodies that initiate the allergen response (with a short-course treatment with Regeneron’s BCMAxCD3 bispecific antibody), followed by ongoing treatment with Dupixent to prevent the return of these cells. Initial results from the food allergy trial have been encouraging, showing the promise of this novel approach, and is expected to complete enrollment by the end of the year. The safety and efficacy of these investigational medicines have not been fully evaluated by any regulatory authority.
