100% (12/12) of patients with relapsed and refractory multiple myeloma treated with Arcellx’s BCMA-specific CAR-modified T-cell therapy achieved responses per IMWG criteria
GAITHERSBURG, MD, USA I June 04, 2021 I Arcellx, a privately held clinical-stage biopharmaceutical company, announced the presentation of positive clinical data from the first 12 evaluable patients treated in the ongoing Phase 1 study of CART-ddBCMA for the treatment of patients with relapsed and refractory multiple myeloma. The results were presented today at the 2021 American Society of Clinical Oncology (ASCO) Annual Meeting.
Clinical Presentation Details
Title: Phase 1 Study of CART-ddBCMA, a CAR-T therapy utilizing a novel synthetic binding domain for the treatment of subjects with relapsed and refractory multiple myeloma
Lead Author: Matthew J. Frigault, M.D., Massachusetts General Hospital; Harvard Medical School
Session Title: Hematologic Malignancies—Plasma Cell Dyscrasia
Abstract Number: 8015
CART-ddBCMA Clinical Results Summary
As previously announced, as of the April 14, 2021 data cutoff:
- 12 of 12 patients achieved responses per IMWG criteria (median follow-up of 197 days; (Min – Max) 29-449 days)
- 5 patients achieved stringent complete responses (sCR)
- 1 patient achieved a complete response (CR)
- 3 patients achieved very good partial responses (VGPR)
- 3 patients achieved partial responses (PR)
- One patient achieved VGPR despite prior progression on BCMA-targeted therapy
- Responses in 11 patients are ongoing, with evidence that responses deepen over time
All patients enrolled in the study have poor prognostic factors with 10 of 12 patients penta-refractory and all 12 patients having had at least three prior treatments.
