Basel, 04 July 2024 - Roche (SIX: RO, ROG; OTCQX: RHHBY) announced today that the phase II/III SKYSCRAPER-06 study, evaluating tiragolumab plus Tecentriq® (atezolizumab) and chemotherapy versus pembrolizumab and chemotherapy as an initial (first-line) treatment for people with previously untreated, locally advanced unresectable or metastatic non-squamous non-small cell lung cancer, did not meet its primary endpoints of progression-free survival (PFS) at its primary analysis with a hazard ratio (HR) of 1.27 [95% CI: 1.02,1.57] and overall survival (OS) at its first interim analysis with a HR of 1.33 [95% CI: 1.02, 1.73], which was immature. The combination of tiragolumab plus Tecentriq and chemotherapy showed reduced efficacy in both PFS and OS compared to the comparator arm in the intent-to-treat population, which includes the phase II and phase III cohorts. The overall safety profile remains consistent with the safety profile previously observed for the combination of tiragolumab plus Tecentriq and chemotherapy, and no new or unexpected findings were identified. Based on these results, patients and investigators will be unblinded and we intend to halt the study. A communication will be sent to the investigators and results will be shared with health authorities and subsequently presented at an upcoming medical meeting.

Basel, 28 June 2024 - Roche (SIX: RO, ROG; OTCQX: RHHBY) announced today that the European Medicines Agency's (EMA) Committee for Medicinal Products for Human Use (CHMP) has adopted a positive opinion for PiaSky® (crovalimab) for the treatment of paroxysmal nocturnal haemoglobinuria (PNH). The CHMP has recommended PiaSky, a novel recycling monoclonal antibody that inhibits the complement protein C5, for use in adults and adolescents (12 years of age or older with a weight of 40 kg) who are either new to, or have been previously treated with C5 inhibitors. If approved, PiaSky will be the first monthly subcutaneous (SC) treatment for PNH in the European Union, with the option to self-administer following adequate training. This may provide an alternative option to current C5 inhibitors that require regular intravenous (IV) infusions, potentially helping to reduce treatment burden and disruption to the lives of people with PNH and their caregivers.1 A final decision regarding the approval of PiaSky is expected from the European Commission in the near future.
