Updated safety and efficacy data from the ongoing Phase I CRB-402 study of the BCMA-directed CAR T cell therapy bb21217 in patients with relapsed and refractory multiple myeloma
New pre-clinical data on SC-DARIC33, an investigational, pharmacologically controlled CD33-targeted chimeric antigen receptor (CAR) T cell product, being studied and developed in collaboration with Seattle Children’s Therapeutics for the potential treatment of acute myeloid leukemia (AML), has been accepted for oral presentation. A second oral presentation, in partnership with Bristol Myers Squibb (BMS), will feature updated results from the ongoing Phase I CRB-402 study of the B-cell maturation antigen (BCMA)-targeted CAR T cell therapy bb21217 in patients with relapsed and refractory multiple myeloma (RRMM).
In addition, a range of analyses will be presented from the pivotal KarMMa trial of idecabtagene vicleucel (ABECMA; ide-cel), a first-in-class BCMA-directed CAR T cell immunotherapy in relapsed or refractory multiple myeloma, in partnership with BMS. These analyses demonstrate that clinically meaningful improvements in quality of life are maintained with extended follow-up, with most patients reporting a positive treatment experience in the KarMMa study, and patients who relapse from ide-cel benefit from subsequent therapies, including anti-BCMA therapies.
