NEW YORK, Nov. 02, 2023 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Cellectis (the "Company") (NASDAQ:CLLS), a clinical-stage biotechnology company using its pioneering gene-editing platform to develop life-saving cell and gene therapies, announced today that preliminary results of the Phase I NATHALI-01 clinical trial evaluating UCART20x22 in patients with relapsed or refractory non-Hodgkin lymphoma (r/r NHL) and updated results of the Phase I BALLI-01 clinical trial evaluating UCART22 in patients with relapsed or refractory CD22+ B-cell acute lymphoblastic leukemia, (r/r B-ALL) will be presented at the American Society of Hematology 65th Annual Meeting (ASH 2023), that will take place on December 9-12, 2023 in San Diego (CA) and online.
These data will be presented in two poster sessions:
Poster Presentation (P2110)
Title: Preliminary Results of Nathali-01: A First-in-Human Phase I/IIa Study of UCART20x22, a Dual Allogeneic CAR-T Cell Product Targeting CD20 and CD22, in Relapsed or Refractory (R/R) Non-Hodgkin Lymphoma (NHL)
Session Name: 704. Cellular Immunotherapies: Early Phase and Investigational Therapies: Poster I
Presenter: Dr. Jeremy Abramson (Massachusetts General Hospital Cancer Center)
Date/Time: Saturday, December 9, 2023 at 5:30 - 7:30 PM PT at San Diego Convention Center, Halls G-H
The poster presentation highlights the following data:
- as of July 1, 2023, 3 patients were enrolled and treated at dose level 1 (50 million cells) with product manufactured in-house by Cellectis. Cytokine release syndrome (CRS) Grade 1 or 2 occurred in all patients, and all CRS resolved with treatment.
- No immune effector cell associated neurotoxicity (ICANS) or graft versus host disease (GvHD) was observed. There were no UCART20x22 dose limiting toxicities (DLTs), and there was 1 DLT in connection with CLLS52 (alemtuzumab).
- All patients responded at Day 28, with 1 partial metabolic response and 2 complete metabolic responses in patients who had failed prior autologous CD19 CAR T-cell therapies.
- UCART20x22 expansion correlated with increases in serum cytokine and inflammatory marker levels as well as with CRS.
- These initial data support the continued clinical trial evaluating UCART20x22 in R/R NHL.
