Genentech, a member of the Roche (RHHBY), and AbbVie (ABBV) announced today the outcome from the Phase III VERONA study investigating Venclexta plusazacitidine for patients with previously untreated higher-risk myelodysplastic syndromes. The study did not meet the primary endpoint of overall survival at the final analysis. The safety profile of the Venclexta combination was consistent with the known risk of the individual study medicines and no unexpected safety signals were observed, the companies added. The results of the VERONA study have no impact on the approved indications for Venclexta or any ongoing studies, they added.
