    , Ltd.
    and the First Affiliated Hospital of Zhejiang University School of Medicine jointly published the first article based on CRISPR/Cas9 gene The edited CD19/CD22 dual target universal CAR-T cell product CTA101 for the treatment of relapsed/refractory B-cell acute lymphoblastic leukemia (r/r B-ALL) clinical research paper.

    The research results were published online in the medical journal Clinical Cancer Research on February 24, 2021.
    Professor Huang He and Dr.
    Jiangtao Ren are the co-corresponding authors of the paper.

    The research is a clinical research (IIT) initiated by the researcher.
    The main researcher is Professor Huang He from the First Affiliated Hospital of Zhejiang University School of Medicine.

    The study released the treatment of 6 patients with r/r B-ALL.

    The 6 patients had received severe treatment in the past, of which 3 had hyperleukocytic leukemia before enrollment, 1 had severe lymphocyte deficiency, and 1 had recurrence within 3 months after autologous CD22 CAR-T treatment.

    All enrolled patients successfully received the infusion, and the interval from enrollment to infusion was no more than 8 days.

    Image source: Clinical Cancer Research results show that no dose-limiting toxicity (DLTs), graft-versus-host disease (GvHD) or neurotoxicity events have occurred, and no replication-competent lentivirus and CRISPR/Cas9 genome editing-related adverse events have been detected (AEs).

    CRS is mainly mild to moderate.
    Only one of the 6 patients with CRS experienced CRS above grade 3 (grade 3).
    This patient was relieved after tocilizumab and glucocorticoid treatment.

    During the study, no AEs related to CTA101 treatment leading to early withdrawal or death occurred.

    Shows that CTA101 has better safety characteristics.

    Preliminary verification of CTA101's powerful anti-tumor efficacy and its ability to expand in vivo.

    Five patients (83%) got CR/CRi, and all got MRD-.

    To the median follow-up time of 4.
    3 months, 3 of the 5 patients with CR/CRi still maintained MRD-.

    The peripheral blood qPCR and flow cytometry of 5 responding patients all detected significant amplification of CTA101.

    The results of this study show that CTA101 has controllable safety and significant anti-leukemia activity in the treatment of relapsed/refractory B-ALL, which preliminarily proves the safety and feasibility of CRISPR/Cas9 gene-edited universal CAR-T cell products.

    The "off-the-shelf" universal CAR-T cell products have a low shedding rate before infusion, a short waiting time for infusion, and a wide range of applications, which provide more choices for patients with relapsed/refractory B-ALL.

    About CTA101 CTA101 is a standardized and mass-produced CD19/CD22 dual-target universal CAR-T cell injection developed by Nanjing Beiheng Biotechnology based on the company's first-generation universal technology platform, which has realized "off-the-shelf supply" and does not require HLA matching.

    The T cells needed for preparation are from healthy donors, and a single batch of production can meet the needs of one hundred people.

    The use of CRISPR/Cas9 high-efficiency gene editing technology can effectively avoid GvHD and the patient's immune rejection of the infused CAR-T cells.

    About Beiheng BioNanjing Beiheng Biotechnology Co.
    , Ltd.
    was established in 2017.
    It is an innovative biomedical company focusing on the development and commercialization of disease treatment products.
