Insights
The expansion of clinical trial sites for NEXICART-2 is a significant development for Immix Biopharma's AL Amyloidosis program. The addition of prestigious institutions like Cleveland Clinic and UC Davis enhances the trial's credibility and potential patient reach. The 92% overall response rate from the ex-U.S. trial is remarkably high, suggesting NXC-201 could be a game-changer in treating this rare disease. However, it's important to note that this data is from a small sample size (13 patients) and needs validation in larger studies. The
This expansion of clinical trial sites is a positive indicator for Immix Biopharma (NASDAQ: IMMX). It suggests confidence in the NXC-201 program and could accelerate patient enrollment, potentially leading to faster trial completion and data readouts. The inclusion of prestigious institutions may also enhance the company's credibility with investors and potential partners. However, investors should note that expanding clinical trials also increases burn rate, which could impact the company's cash position. The mention of "upcoming interim and final read-outs" implies potential near-term catalysts that could significantly affect stock price. Given the promising early data and the unmet need in AL Amyloidosis, successful trial results could lead to substantial value creation. However, as with all clinical-stage biotech companies, there remains significant risk until regulatory approval is achieved.
- New Sites Expand Opportunities for Patient Access and Enrollment
- Clinical Trial Sites Added Include Cleveland Clinic, UC Davis, and Sutter Health
- Lead site Memorial Sloan Kettering Cancer Center (MSKCC)
- Data from ex-U.S. clinical trial reported at ASGCT 2024 showed a

The study builds on positive data from the initial ex-U.S. study, NEXICART-1, presented at the 27th Annual Meeting of The American Society of Gene and Cell Therapy (ASGCT 2024) which showed a
“In our mission to advance treatment options for relapsed/refractory AL Amyloidosis patients, we are proud to expand our NEXICART-2 clinical trial footprint to a national scale with the addition of these world-class sites and exceptional principal investigators,” said Ilya Rachman, M.D., Ph.D., Chief Executive Officer of Immix Biopharma. Gabriel Morris, Chief Financial Officer of Immix Biopharma, added, “Working with our outstanding team and partners, these additional sites support upcoming interim and final read-outs of NEXICART-2.”
NXC-201 is the only CAR-T therapy currently in development in AL Amyloidosis, mentioned in a review article entitled “Systemic Light Chain Amyloidosis” published in June, 2024 New England Journal of Medicine.
About NEXICART-2
NEXICART-2 (NCT06097832) is an open-label, single-arm, multi-site U.S. Phase 1b/2 dose expansion clinical trial of CAR-T NXC-201 in relapsed/refractory AL Amyloidosis. NEXICART-2 is expected to enroll 40 patients with adequate cardiac function who have not been exposed to prior BCMA-targeted therapy. The study is designed with a standard 6 patient safety-run in to evaluate two doses (three patients each at 150 million CAR+T cells and 450 million CAR+T cells), with the potential for further escalation to 800 million CAR+T cells (all 3 dose levels were evaluated in the NEXICART-1 study and have produced complete responses in relapsed/refractory AL Amyloidosis patients). The study aims to evaluate the safety and efficacy of NXC-201 in this patient population. Primary endpoints are complete response rate and overall response rate, according to consensus recommendations (Palladini et al. 2012).
About NEXICART-1
NEXICART-1 (NCT04720313) is an open-label, ex-U.S. Phase 1b/2 clinical trial of NXC-201 (formerly HBI0101) in patients with relapsed/refractory multiple myeloma and relapsed/refractory AL amyloidosis (including AL Amyloidosis patients with impaired cardiac function and including AL Amyloidosis patients exposed to prior BCMA-targeted therapy). The primary objective of the study is to characterize the safety and efficacy, as well as confirm the recommended Phase 2 dose (RP2D) of NXC-201 (which has already been confirmed). NEXICART-1 clinical results, most recently from ASGCT 2024, are available at https://immixbio.com/pipeline/#publications.
About NXC-201
NXC-201 is a sterically-optimized BCMA-targeted chimeric antigen receptor T (CAR-T) cell therapy. Initial data from Phase 1b/2 ex-U.S. study NEXICART-1 has demonstrated no neurotoxicity of any kind in AL Amyloidosis.
NXC-201 is being studied in a comprehensive clinical development program for the treatment of patients with relapsed/refractory AL amyloidosis, with the potential to expand into immune-mediated diseases. The NXC-201 NEXICART-2 (NCT06097832) U.S. clinical trial builds on a robust clinical dataset. NXC-201 has been awarded Orphan Drug Designation (ODD) in AL Amyloidosis by the US FDA and in the EU by the EMA.
About AL Amyloidosis
AL amyloidosis is caused by abnormal plasma cells in the bone marrow, which produce misfolded amyloid proteins that build-up in the heart, kidney, liver, and other organs. This build-up causes progressive and widespread damage to multiple organs, including heart failure, and leads to high mortality rates.
The U.S. observed prevalence of relapsed/refractory AL Amyloidosis is estimated to be growing at
