    ▎ WuXi AppTec content team editor September 13, 2021, Legend Biotech announced that based on the IND application approved by the US FDA, it will start a phase 1 clinical trial of the cell therapy LB1901 under investigation for the treatment of adult relapse/ Refractory peripheral T-cell lymphoma (PTCL), or cutaneous T-cell lymphoma (CTCL)
    .

    LB1901 is an autologous CD4 targeting chimeric antigen receptor T cell (CAR-T) therapy under development, which can specifically bind to CD4
    .

    CD4 is a membrane glycoprotein expressed in most T-cell lymphoma (TCL) subtypes
    .

    TCL is a group of heterogeneous lymphoid malignancies
    .

    PTCL includes uncommon and usually aggressive subtypes, with a 5-year overall survival of only 39%
    .

    CTCL is a group of T cell malignancies that mainly occur in the skin
    .

    Despite the current treatment options, a large proportion of patients with PTCL or CTCL are still prone to relapse
    .

    Patients with relapsed/refractory PTCL and CTCL still have highly unmet medical needs
    .

    This open-label, multi-center phase 1 trial will evaluate the safety and tolerability of LB1901 in patients with relapsed/refractory PTCL or relapsed/refractory CTCL expressing CD4, and determine the optimal dose
