Recent findings from two clinical trials spotlight Sanofi's (SNY, Financial) innovative delivery approach for Sarclisa in treating relapsed or refractory multiple myeloma. These studies, shared at the American Society of Clinical Oncology Annual Meeting, highlight the potential benefits of using a subcutaneous on-body injector (OBI) compared to traditional intravenous methods.
The pivotal phase 3 IRAKLIA study indicates that Sarclisa delivered via the OBI has comparable efficacy and pharmacokinetics as its intravenous counterpart, while presenting fewer systemic infusion reactions—only 1.5% compared to 25% with the IV method. Moreover, 99.9% of OBI injections were successfully administered without major safety concerns, ensuring a promising safety profile.
This hands-free device not only enhances patient satisfaction—71.1% reported high satisfaction levels—but also provides operational advantages for healthcare providers, reducing physical strain on nurses. The OBI's smaller needle size may also contribute to improved patient comfort. Progression-free survival rates and secondary outcomes between the two delivery methods were closely aligned, demonstrating that Sarclisa's effectiveness remains intact with the new delivery system.
The study underscores the potential for OBIs to improve patient care in multiple myeloma treatment, marking a significant step in Sanofi's commitment to innovative healthcare solutions.
