TEL AVIV, Israel, May 6, 2024 /PRNewswire/ -- BioLineRx Ltd. (NASDAQ: BLRX) (TASE: BLRX), a commercial stage biopharmaceutical company pursuing life-changing therapies in oncology and rare diseases, today announced that new economic model data will be presented on APHEXDA® (motixafortide) for CD34+ hematopoietic stem cell (HSC) mobilization in patients with multiple myeloma at the International Society for Pharmacoeconomics and Outcomes Research (ISPOR) – The Professional Society for Health Economics and Outcomes Research – 2024 conference, taking place May 5-8, 2024, in Atlanta, Georgia.

Autologous stem cell transplantation (ASCT) is part of the standard of care treatment paradigm for multiple myeloma and prolongs survival for patients with this cancer type.1 Historically, depending on induction regimens and mobilization strategies, approximately 50% to 75% of patients required more than one apheresis session to collect a target number of cells.2,3 Uncertainty in stem cell mobilization and the possible need for multiple apheresis sessions may result in psychological and logistical burden on patients, in addition to financial and operational inefficiencies for apheresis centers.

The new economic model assessed the cost and healthcare resource utilization impacts of multiple apheresis attempts via a comparison between daily filgrastim (G-CSF) alone and in combination with APHEXDA, and an indirect comparison between daily filgrastim used with either plerixafor or APHEXDA, using drug costs from Micromedex, procedure costs from CMS.gov and data for apheresis days obtained from clinical trials and product labels. The data are expected to be published in Value in Health, Volume 27, Issue 6, S1 (June 2024.)

The new economic model data to be presented at ISPOR 2024 builds on the evaluation of APHEXDA for CD34+ HSC mobilization in patients with multiple myeloma in apheresis center operations.

About the GENESIS Trial
GENESIS (NCT 03246529) is a 2-part, Phase-3, randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled, multicenter study evaluating the safety and efficacy of APHEXDA (motixafortide) plus filgrastim (G-CSF), compared to placebo plus filgrastim, for the mobilization of hematopoietic stem cells for autologous transplantation in multiple myeloma patients. Part 1 was a single center, lead-in, open-label study involving 12 patients treated with motixafortide plus filgrastim designed to ascertain the dose. Part 2 involved 122 patients who were randomized 2:1 in a double-blind, placebo-controlled, multicenter study. The primary objective of the study was to evaluate if one dose of motixafortide plus filgrastim is superior to placebo plus filgrastim in the ability to mobilize = 6 million CD34+ cells in up to two apheresis sessions. A key secondary objective of the study was to evaluate if one dose of motixafortide plus filgrastim is superior to placebo plus filgrastim in the ability to mobilize = 6 million CD34+ cells in one apheresis session.
