Takeda Pharmaceutical (TYO: 4502) has presented positive results from the Phase III TOURMALINE-MM3 study of Ninlaro (ixazomib) at the annual meeting of the American Society of Hematology (ASH).

The Japanese firm is exploring the drug’s use as a maintenance therapy for certain adults diagnosed with multiple myeloma, who previously responded to high-dose therapy (HDT) and autologous stem cell transplant (ASCT).

The trial achieved its primary endpoint, showing a statistically-significant improvement in progression-free survival (PFS) against placebo.
