- Indication:
- For the Treatment of Aggressive Large B-cell Lymphoma
Announcement
Lyell Immunopharma, Inc announced new clinical and translational data from the ongoing clinical trial of rondecabtagene autoleucel (ronde-cel, also known as LYL314) in patients with large B-cell lymphoma (LBCL), which were presented today in two oral presentations at the 67th American Society of Hematology (ASH) Annual Meeting and Exposition.
AI Summary
Lyell Immunopharma reported new clinical and translational data for rondecabtagene autoleucel (ronde-cel) presented in two oral talks at the 67th ASH meeting. In the 3L+ relapsed/refractory large B‑cell lymphoma group, ronde-cel showed a 93% overall response rate, 76% complete response rate, and median progression‑free survival of 18 months. In a mostly primary‑refractory 2L cohort, responses were 83% overall and 61% complete, with 70% of complete responders remaining in remission at six months or longer. Across 69 treated patients, safety was manageable for outpatient use: no Grade ≥3 cytokine release syndrome and, with dexamethasone prophylaxis, ≤5% experienced Grade ≥3 ICANS; neurologic events resolved in a median of four days.
Translational studies showed ronde-cel is enriched for CD62L‑positive T cells, producing more naïve/central memory cells and up to three‑fold greater expansion after infusion versus published CD19 CAR T data. Cells retained the ability to proliferate, kill tumor cells, and secrete cytokines one to two months after infusion. The results were presented by Sarah M. Larson, MD, and Akil Merchant, MD.
