Aleta Biotherapeutics today presented in vitro and in vivo results demonstrating that Aleta’s novel CD19-anti-CD20 bridging protein prevents and reverses CD19-negative relapse from CAR-CD19 T cell treatment.
“FDA-approved CAR-CD19 T cell therapies such as tisagenlecleucel and axicabtagene ciloleucel have demonstrated remarkable success in treating B cell cancers including refractory and relapsed acute lymphoblastic leukemia and non-Hodgkin lymphoma. However, relapse rates of up to 50% have been reported, most occurring within 6 months of CAR-CD19 T cell therapy. Some patients relapse due to the loss of expression of CD19 on tumor cells and other patients relapse because the cell therapy has failed to fully control tumor cell proliferation,” said Paul Rennert, Ph.D., President and Chief Scientific Officer, Aleta Biotherapeutics.
