Bristol Myers Squibb said its treatment candidate for certain blood cancers performed well in a late-stage trial.

The biopharmaceutical company on Monday said its proposed drug, oral mezigdomide, used in combination with an existing treatment, carfilzomib and dexamethasone, demonstrated "statistically significant and clinically meaningful improvement in progression-free survival" in patients with relapsed or refractory multiple myeloma, compared with the existing treatment alone.

"We are excited by these results," said Cristian Massacesi, the company's chief medical officer and head of development.

He added the results "strengthen our confidence in bringing forward effective, accessible oral treatment options for patients with difficult-to-treat blood cancers and potentially beyond."
