Telo Genomics Presents at ASH 2020 The Results of Hodgkin’s Lymphoma Clinical Study
December 09 2020 - 9:00AM
Telo Genomics Corp. (TSX-V: TELO)
(the
“Company” or
“TELO”) is
pleased to announce that the Company has presented the results of
its Hodgkin’s lymphoma (HL) clinical study at ASH 2020.
The large multicenter study included
participants from 3 national and international centers. An abstract
summarizing the data was presented at ASH 2020. Although the
abstract was included in the proceedings of ASH 2020, the detailed
results are embargoed until the manuscript comprising the full
study results is published.
The study builds on previous proof of concept
published reports using TeloView®, suggesting a clinical utility
for the TeloView® technology as a prognostic tool for the
management of classic Hodgkin’s lymphoma patients from point of
diagnosis.
The American Society of Hematology is a
professional organization representing healthcare professionals
involved in the management of blood disorders including blood
cancers. The ASH annual meeting is considered the top clinical
international meeting focused on blood cancers and lymphoid
malignancies. ASH annual meeting attracts more than 30,000
attendees every year, predominantly clinicians from all over the
world.
Hodgkin’s lymphoma (HL) is a malignancy that
affects both genders of all age groups. Approximately 75-80% of
newly diagnosed HL patients respond favorably to the traditional
first line treatment (ABVD), while 20-25% will show resistance to
this approach. To date there is no prognostic tool in the clinic
that can identify HL patients who will or will not respond to the
traditional first line treatment.
The Company also wishes to congratulate Dr.
Hans Knecht, MD, Professor of Medicine and Chief, Division of
Haematology at McGill University and Jewish General Hospital,
Montreal, Canada, for being honoured and awarded recently the 2020
prize for “Cutting Edge Hematology” at the 57th Jewish General
Hospital’s Annual Andre Aisenstadt Clinical Day. The prize is
shared with Dr. S. Caplan, his predecessor in these functions. Dr.
Knecht is a long-term collaborator with Telo Genomics and Dr. Mai,
Director and Chair of the Clinical and Scientific Advisory Board
(CSAB) of TELO. Dr. Knecht is also a member of TELO’s CSAB.
“We are excited to present the results of
the HL clinical study at ASH 2020,” said Sherif Louis, TELO’s CEO.
“The HL study is a powerful indicator about TeloView®’s utility in
the management of blood cancers in general, and particularly TELO’s
lead indication multiple myeloma.”
