Lete-cel Achieves Primary Endpoint in Pivotal Trial
Elliot Norry, MD, Adaptimmune’s Chief Medical Officer: “We are thrilled to see that 42% of patients with synovial sarcoma or MRCLS responded to treatment with lete-cel, following prior treatment with currently available therapies. Responses were durable across both indications, with an overall median duration of response greater than 18 months for people with synovial sarcoma and greater than one year for MRCLS. These data underscore lete-cel’s potential to transform the lives of people with these cancers who have a poor prognosis and few treatment options. We look forward to presenting our findings at CTOS and initiating a rolling Biologics License Application for lete-cel in 2025 for the treatment of both synovial sarcoma and MRCLS, building on the potential of our sarcoma franchise.”
