Subasumstat + Rituximab Shown to Be Tolerable in Subsets of non-Hodgkin Lymphoma Patients

Karuppiah Kannan, Senior Director - Global Program Leader at Takeda Pharmaceuticals, discusses early results of a phase 1/2 study evaluating subasumstat (TAK-981) in combination with rituximab in multiple subsets of CD20-positive relapsed/refractory non-Hodgkin lymphoma including diffuse large B-cell lymphoma (DLBCL), mantle cell lymphoma (MCL), follicular lymphoma (FL) and marginal zone lymphoma (MZL). The results of this study were recently presented at The American Society of Hematology Meeting & Exposition (ASH 2021).Subasumstat is an investigational, first-in-class small-molecule inhibitor of SUMOylation, which mediates cell cycle progression. In preclinical trials, subasumstat was shown to add synergistic benefit when combined with rituximab in non-Hodgkin lymphoma models.Rare Discussions is produced by CheckRare, the leading multimedia platform dedicated to advancing education, awareness, and innovation across the rare disease community.Explore additional physician interviews, podcasts, CME activities, and rare disease resources at CheckRare.com.Subscribe to the CheckRare Podcast Network for expert conversations, weekly news, accredited education, and the latest advances across the rare disease community.Part of the CheckRare Podcast Network: Trusted conversations, news, education, and expert insights across the rare disease community.
