Infinity Announces New Data for Duvelisib to Be Presented at the 2015 American Society of Clinical Oncology Annual Meeting

INFIQ

Infinity Pharmaceuticals, Inc. (NASDAQ: INFI) today announced the upcoming poster presentations of new clinical, translational and preclinical data with duvelisib (IPI-145), an oral, dual inhibitor of phosphoinositide-3-kinase (PI3K)-delta and PI3K-gamma at the 2015 American Society of Clinical Oncology (ASCO) Annual Meeting, taking place May 29-June 2 in Chicago, Il. Duvelisib is the only dual inhibitor of PI3K-delta,gamma in Phase 3 clinical development and is in registration-focused studies in patients with indolent non-Hodgkin lymphoma (iNHL) and chronic lymphocytic leukemia (CLL). Infinity and AbbVie are jointly developing duvelisib in oncology.

Key results to be presented include new Phase 1 safety and efficacy data in patients with treatment-naïve CLL, preclinical data that further support evaluating duvelisib in combination with other therapeutic agents including venetoclax, an investigational inhibitor of the BCL-2 protein, and translational data that support the role of PI3K-delta and PI3K-gamma in hematologic malignancies and the tumor microenvironment.

The following four presentations of duvelisib at ASCO 2015 will take place on Sunday, May 31, 2015, from 8:00 a.m. to 11:30 a.m. CDT (9:00 a.m. – 12:30 p.m. ET) in South Hall A at McCormick Place:

About Duvelisib

Duvelisib is an investigational, oral, dual inhibitor of phosophoinositide-3-kinase (PI3K)-delta and PI3K-gamma that is being jointly developed by Infinity Pharmaceuticals, Inc. and AbbVie Inc. in oncology. The PI3K pathway is known to play a critical role in regulating the growth and survival of certain types of blood cancers. Duvelisib is designed to block the growth and survival of tumor cells by inhibiting PI3K-delta and PI3K-gamma signaling.

Duvelisib is being evaluated in registration-focused studies, including DYNAMOTM, a Phase 2 study in patients with refractory indolent non-Hodgkin lymphoma, DYNAMO+R, a Phase 3 study in patients with previously treated follicular lymphoma, and DUOTM, a Phase 3 study in patients with relapsed/refractory chronic lymphocytic leukemia. Duvelisib is also being evaluated in CONTEMPO, a Phase 1b/2 study in treatment-naïve patients with follicular lymphoma and SYNCHRONY, a Phase 1b study in CLL patients whose disease is refractory to or has relapsed while receiving a BTK inhibitor.

Duvelisib is an investigational compound and its safety and efficacy have not been evaluated by the U.S. Food and Drug Administration or any other health authority.
