DARMSTADT, Germany, Oct. 8, 2018 /PRNewswire/ --

  • Late-breaking Phase II primary endpoint data for investigational therapy evobrutinib, the first oral BTK inhibitor to show clinical proof-of-concept in RMS
  • Up to 10 years of patient experience provides further insight into the benefit-risk profile of investigational cladribine tablets
  • Late-breaking data from multi-sponsored European IFNβPregnancy registry highlight Rebif safety outcomes during pregnancy
  • A total of 23 abstracts for cladribine tablets, Rebif and evobrutinib will be presented at ECTRIMS 2018

Merck KGaA, Darmstadt, Germany, a leading science and technology company, today announced that it will present data from approved and investigational multiple sclerosis (MS) treatments from its neurology and immunology portfolio at the 34th Congress of the European Committee for Treatment and Research In Multiple Sclerosis (ECTRIMS), taking place from 10–12 October 2018, in Berlin, Germany. Merck KGaA, Darmstadt, Germany will present 23 abstracts, including new safety and efficacy data on investigational cladribine tablets, Rebif® (interferon beta-1a) and investigational therapy evobrutinib, a highly-specific, oral Bruton's Tyrosine Kinase (BTK) inhibitor.

Key cladribine tablets data will include:

  • An updated integrated safety analysis of patients from the CLARITY, CLARITY Extension and ORACLE-MS trials, including two additional years of data from the long-term PREMIERE Registry (up to 10-years of follow-up).
  • An overview of the first six months of real-world evidence safety data on cladribine tablets.
  • Results from a post hoc analysis of the CLARITY study will characterize relapse severity and frequency in relapsing-remitting MS (RRMS) patients in cladribine tablets versus placebo.
  • New data from post hoc analyses to support the duration of effect of cladribine tablets across patient subgroups of different ages and with different disease activity status (in Years 3 and 4 post-treatment) will be presented.

Key late-breaking data presentations include:

  • Results of primary 24-week MRI endpoint analysis, along with a description of interim key secondary and safety analysis from a Phase II study of investigational BTK-inhibitor evobrutinib in patients with relapsing MS. The late-breaking oral presentation will highlight the first evidence of clinical activity of a BTK-inhibitor in a non-oncology indication.
  • Presentation highlighting pregnancy and infant outcomes with multiple IFNβ therapies, including Rebif®, from the European IFNβ pregnancy registry and Nordic health registers.

"We are proud to be presenting new data across our Neurology and Immunology franchise at Merck KGaA, Darmstadt, Germany during ECTRIMS 2018," said Luciano Rossetti, Head of Global R&D for the biopharma business of Merck KGaA, Darmstadt, Germany. "As we continue to enhance our understanding of the benefit-risk profile of cladribine tablets and the use of Rebif, we are also excited by the presentation of the first clinical data for a BTK inhibitor (evobrutinib) in an MS patient population."

Additional Merck KGaA, Darmstadt, Germany activities at ECTRIMS 2018:

  • Results of the Merck KGaA, Darmstadt, Germany-sponsored 'MS in the 21st Century International Unmet Needs Survey' will show that MS patients have substantially different perceptions of the current unmet needs in MS compared with healthcare professionals (HCPs).
  • Following on from the #MSInsideOut campaign launch on World MS Day earlier in the year, Merck KGaA, Darmstadt, Germany will be premiering the MS Inside Out Documentary film executively produced by Shift.ms during an event on October 11. At the event, Merck KGaA, Darmstadt, Germany will shine a light on the untold stories of MS, as well as revealing the findings and key results from a new global MS carers survey conducted in collaboration between leading international carer organizations IACO (International Alliance of Carer Organization) and Eurocarers. The data presented at ECTRIMS will further demonstrate the need for a deeper understanding of those affected by MS and their carer.
  • Merck KGaA, Darmstadt, Germany will also be announcing the annual Grant for Multiple Sclerosis Innovation (GMSI) Award winners in Berlin. First launched at ECTRIMS 2012, the GMSI Award supports the advancement of science and medical research in the field of MS and provides a grant of up to €1,000,000 per year to one or more selected research projects.
  • The company will be holding a press event on Wednesday, 10 October 2018, 15:00–16:25 (CET) at CityCube Conference Center (Room: London 1), Berlin, Germany.
