Gracell Biotechnologies to Present Updated Clinical Data on BCMA/CD19 Dual-Targeting FasTCAR-T GC012F at 2023 ASCO Annual Meeting
Gracell Biotechnologies Inc. (NASDAQ: GRCL) announced it will present updated clinical data on its dual-targeting CAR-T cell therapy, GC012F, at the 2023 ASCO Annual Meeting from June 2-6, 2023. This therapy targets B-cell maturation antigen (BCMA) and CD19 and aims to treat relapsed-refractory multiple myeloma (RRMM) and B-cell non-Hodgkin's lymphoma (B-NHL). Gracell is set to present new long-term follow-up data for GC012F in RRMM during an oral session and additional results from an ongoing trial for B-NHL in a separate poster presentation. With investigational new drug applications approved in both the U.S. and China, Gracell is poised to initiate clinical trials in 2023, emphasizing the potential of their FasTCAR next-day manufacturing technology in improving treatment outcomes.
- Presentation of updated clinical results for GC012F at ASCO enhances credibility.
- Investigational New Drug applications approved in the U.S. and China allow for upcoming clinical trials.
- FasTCAR technology demonstrates rapid manufacturing potential and improves patient access to treatments.
- None.
"We are looking forward to sharing updated results from our ongoing studies evaluating GC012F in relapsed/refractory multiple myeloma and B-cell non-Hodgkin's lymphoma. We are particularly encouraged by the recognition of our long-term follow-up data of GC012F in RRMM, which will be presented at an oral session. We believe for these hematological cancers, there is critical need for transformational treatment options with strong efficacy, favorable safety profiles and rapid manufacturing," said Dr.
BCMA/CD19 Dual-Targeting FasTCAR-T GC012F for the Treatment of RRMM
Longer-term follow-up data from a multicenter investigator-initiated trial evaluating GC012F for the treatment of RRMM in heavily pretreated patients will be presented as an oral abstract session.
Oral presentation details are as follows:
- Abstract title: Updated results of a phase I, open-label study of BCMA/CD19 dual-targeting fast CAR-T GC012F for patients with relapsed/refractory multiple myeloma (RRMM)
- Abstract number: 8005
- Session title: Hematologic Malignancies – Plasma Cell Dyscrasia
- Session type: Oral Abstract Session
- Presentation time:
Saturday, June 3 at1:15 PM –4:15 PM CDT
BCMA/CD19 Dual-Targeting FasTCAR-T GC012F for the Treatment of B-NHL
A separate poster presentation will highlight updated clinical results from an ongoing IIT evaluating GC012F for the treatment of relapsed/refractory B-NHL. While CD19-directed CAR-T has proven effective for the treatment of NHL[i],[ii], the CD19/BCMA dual-targeting approach is novel for this indication. Additionally, this study further validates the FasTCAR platform.
Poster presentation details are as follows:
Abstract title: Updated clinical results of first-in-human study of CD19/BCMA dual-targeting fast CAR-T GC012F for patients with relapsed/refractory B-cell non-Hodgkin's lymphoma
- Abstract number: 7562
- Session title: Hematologic Malignancies—Lymphoma and Chronic Lymphocytic Leukemia
- Session type: Poster Abstract Session
- Session date & time:
Monday, June 5 at 8:00 –11:00 AM CDT
Full abstracts will be released on
About GC012F
GC012F is Gracell's FasTCAR-enabled BCMA/CD19 dual-targeting autologous CAR-T cell therapy, which aims to transform cancer treatment by driving fast, deep and durable responses with improved safety profile. GC102F is currently being evaluated in investigator-initiated trials in multiple myeloma and B-cell non-Hodgkin's lymphoma (B-NHL), and has demonstrated a consistently strong efficacy and safety profile.

About FasTCAR
Introduced in 2017, FasTCAR is Gracell's revolutionary next-day autologous CAR-T cell manufacturing platform. FasTCAR is designed to lead the next generation of cancer therapy and improve outcomes for patients by enhancing efficacy, reducing costs, and enabling more patients to access critical CAR-T treatment. FasTCAR drastically shortens cell production from weeks to overnight, potentially reducing patient wait times and probability for their disease to progress. Furthermore, FasTCAR T-cells appear younger and are more robust than traditional CAR-T cells, making them more proliferative and effective at killing cancer cells. In
