BERKELEY HEIGHTS, N.J., Dec. 22, 2025 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Secura Bio, Inc. (www.securabio.com), an integrated pharmaceutical company maximizing commercial outcomes for oncology medicines, today provided a corporate update, including an update on the encouraging enrollment progress in its ongoing Phase 3 TERZO study of COPIKTRA (duvelisib) in adults with relapsed or refractory (R/R) nodal T-follicular helper cell lymphoma (nTFHL).
The TERZO Phase 3 study of COPIKTRA (duvelisib) in patients with R/R nTFHL is a multicenter, open label, randomized controlled study of duvelisib versus investigator’s choice of gemcitabine or bendamustine. To date, the study has randomized 35 of the anticipated 124 patients and has activated 43 of the expected 45 sites across ten European countries. The Company initiated the study earlier this year, with the first patient dosed in June.
“We are encouraged by the significant momentum in our Phase 3 TERZO trial, driven by the dedication of our investigators and strong interest from patients with R/R nTFHL,” said Dr. Christiane Langer, Senior Vice President of Clinical and Medical Affairs at Secura Bio. “Having achieved 25% patient accrual already, the study is advancing at the top end of our expectations and keeps us on track for an interim data readout in early 2027.”
Additional 2025 Corporate Highlights:
- National Comprehensive Cancer Network® added duvelisib to Clinical Practice Guidelines in Cutaneous Lymphoma for Mycosis Fungoides / Sézary Syndrome (MFSS)
- Achieved >30% year-over-year annual growth in U.S. net sales of COPIKTRA year to date through November
- Strengthened the management team with the addition of Christiane Langer, M.D., Senior Vice President of Clinical and Medical Affairs.

About TERZO
The Phase 3 TERZO study is a multicenter, open-label, randomized controlled study of duvelisib versus investigator’s choice of gemcitabine or bendamustine in patients with R/R nTFHL. Patients in the European Union (CT: 2024-516605-23-00) and the United Kingdom (NCT06522737) will be randomized on a 1:1 basis and receive treatment until progressive disease (PD) or unacceptable toxicity. The primary endpoint of the study is progression-free survival. Secondary endpoints include overall survival, objective response rate, complete response rate, duration of response, number of participants with adverse events, and quality of life. The company expects to enroll approximately 124 patients with interim data from the study anticipated in early-2027.
About nodal T-Follicular Helper Cell Lymphoma
Nodal T-follicular helper cell lymphomas (nTFHL) comprise a group of aggressive non-Hodgkin lymphomas that share common genetic, clinical, and cell of origin features. This group of lymphomas originates from a type of white blood cell called a T-follicular helper cell. nTFHLs generally occur in people aged 60 and older and are slightly more common in males. nTFHLs most commonly present with widespread, enlarged, typically painless lymph nodes in the neck, armpit, and/or groin. There are currently no well-established standards of care for patients with relapsed or refractory disease.
About Cutaneous T-Cell Lymphoma (CTCL)
Cutaneous T-cell lymphoma (CTCL) is a rare group of non-Hodgkin lymphomas in which malignant T cells primarily involve the skin. The most common subtypes are mycosis fungoides (MF) and Sézary syndrome (SS). Patients may experience persistent patches or plaques, tumors, diffuse skin redness, and often debilitating pruritus; in more advanced disease, malignant cells can also be detected in the blood, lymph nodes, and other organs. CTCL is typically chronic and relapsing, and treatment is individualized based on stage and symptoms, often requiring multiple lines of therapy over time.
About COPIKTRA (duvelisib)
COPIKTRA is an oral inhibitor of phosphoinositide 3-kinase (PI3K) and the first US approved dual inhibitor of PI3K-delta and PI3K-gamma pathways, two enzymes known to help support the growth and survival of malignant cells. PI3K signaling may lead to the proliferation of malignant cells and is thought to play a role in the formation and maintenance of a supportive tumor microenvironment. COPIKTRA is indicated in the United States for the treatment of adult patients with relapsed or refractory chronic lymphocytic leukemia/small lymphocytic lymphoma (CLL/SLL) after at least two prior therapies. COPIKTRA is also being developed for the treatment of peripheral T-cell lymphoma (PTCL), for which it has received Fast Track status in the United States and is being investigated in combination with other agents through investigator-sponsored studies. Treatment of T-cell lymphomas is a disease category for which COPIKTRA is not currently indicated. For more information on COPIKTRA, please visit www.COPIKTRA.com. Information about duvelisib clinical trials can be found on www.clinicaltrials.gov.
