Results from Ph 2 trial of zevorcabtagene autoleucel Ph 1b/2 study in RRMM patients announced
Dr. Raffaele Baffa, Chief Medical Officer of CARsgen Therapeutics, said: “Multiple myeloma is the second most common hematologic malignancy. People in the United States (US) living with or in remission from multiple myeloma is expected to increase to about 160 thousand in 2024. There remains a significant unmet medical need of multiple myeloma patients that call for alternative options. The results of the initial 17 patients treated with zevor-cel in the LUMMICAR-2 Phase 2 clinical trial, reported at the CAR-TCR Summit, indicates a consistent trend of clinical benefit with the data of earlier trials conducted on zevor-cel, such as the investigator-initiated trials and LUMMICAR-1 phase 1 trials in China as reported previously in ASH. We are very encouraged by the competitive efficacy and favorable safety profiles and will continue to dedicate our efforts in successfully developing and launching zevor-cel for multiple myeloma patients worldwide.”
