Aliqopa (copanlisib) is a phosphatidylinositol-3-kinase (PI3K) inhibitor indicated for the treatment of adult patients with relapsed follicular lymphoma (FL).
- On November 13, 2023, Bayer announced that, following discussions with the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA), it would work with the FDA on a voluntary withdrawal of the Aliqopa (copanlisib) U.S. New Drug Application for adult patients with relapsed follicular lymphoma (FL) who have received at least two prior systemic therapies.
- Aliqopa was granted accelerated approval by the FDA in September 2017 based on CHRONOS-1, an open-label, single-arm Phase II study. The FDA required clinical benefit to be confirmed through the CHRONOS-4 study. In the study, the addition of Aliqopa to standard immunochemotherapy regimens did not meet the primary endpoint of progression-free survival benefit versus the standard immunochemotherapy control arm in patients with relapsed follicular lymphoma.
- Patients currently being treated with Aliqopa should consult their healthcare provider. No new patients should be prescribed Aliqopa.
