Gilead Sciences, Inc. (Nasdaq: GILD) and Kite, a Gilead Company, today announced that 16 abstracts representing the breadth of the Gilead-Kite Oncology portfolio will be presented at the American Society of Clinical Oncology Annual Meeting from June 4-8, 2021. The abstracts, including two oral presentations, expand on the clinical profiles of Gilead’s antibody-drug conjugate (ADC), as well as Kite’s chimeric antigen receptor (CAR) T-cell therapies across a range of cancers, including in existing indications and for investigational uses.

“Gilead-Kite Oncology is rapidly advancing transformative science for people facing historically difficult-to-treat cancers,” said Merdad Parsey, MD, PhD, Chief Medical Officer, Gilead Sciences. “Our first-in-class, TROP-2 directed ADC therapy is already having a meaningful impact for people with metastatic triple-negative breast and urothelial cancers, and data at ASCO will add further insight into its utility in TNBC in both monotherapy and future combination treatment approaches.”

“CAR T-cell therapy has changed the lives of patients suffering from certain forms of non-Hodgkin lymphoma, and our data at ASCO demonstrate important progress in extending the benefits to more patients in need,” said Frank Neumann, MD, PhD, Kite’s Global Head of Clinical Development. “As we aim to bring CAR T to people with many different hematologic malignancies, we are just beginning to scratch the surface of what is possible.”
