New preclinical data on allogeneic CAR+TCR-T cells rich in stem cell memory T cells (TSCM) and enhanced potency to better target solid tumors will be presented at SITC
Additional profiling of patient responses in P-BCMA-ALLO1 Phase 1 Arm C and preclinical P-CD19CD20-ALLO1 to be presented at ASH
SAN DIEGO, Nov. 5, 2024 /PRNewswire/ -- Poseida Therapeutics, Inc. (Nasdaq: PSTX), a clinical-stage allogeneic cell therapy and genetic medicines company advancing differentiated non-viral treatments for patients with cancer, autoimmune and rare diseases, today announced new preclinical data on allogeneic CAR+TCR-T cells rich in stem cell memory T cells (TSCM), along with platform enhancements aimed at enhancing potency and improving targeting of solid tumors, will be presented at the Society for Immunotherapy of Cancer (SITC) 39th Annual Meeting in Houston, November 6-10.
Additionally, the Company announced presentations at the 66th American Society of Hematology (ASH) Annual Meeting & Exposition, which will be held December 7-10 in San Diego. To further characterize compelling emerging P-BCMA-ALLO1 clinical data, additional profiling of patient responses from the optimized lymphodepletion arm (Arm C) of the P-BCMA-ALLO1 Phase 1 study, along with data first presented at the 21st International Myeloma Society (IMS) Annual Meeting will be highlighted as a poster presentation. In addition, preclinical data from the ongoing Phase 1 trial of P-CD19CD20-ALLO1 in patients with B-cell malignancies will be delivered as a poster presentation.
P-BCMA-ALLO1 is an investigational non-viral TSCM-rich allogeneic CAR-T therapy in Phase 1/1b clinical development. This investigational off-the-shelf allogeneic CAR-T cell therapy targeting BCMA has received Regenerative Medicine Advanced Therapy (RMAT) designation for adult patients with relapsed/refractory multiple myeloma after three or more prior lines of therapies. P-CD19CD20-ALLO1, the Company's first allogeneic dual CAR-T cell product candidate, targets both CD19 and CD20 antigens for the treatment of relapsed or refractory B-cell malignancies. The Company is developing P-BCMA-ALLO1 and P-CD19CD20-ALLO1 as part of a broader collaboration with Roche focused on addressing hematologic malignancies with Poseida's TSCM-rich CAR-T platform.

About P-BCMA-ALLO1
P-BCMA-ALLO1 is an allogeneic CAR-T product candidate licensed to Roche targeting B-cell maturation antigen (BCMA) for the treatment of relapsed/refractory multiple myeloma. This allogeneic program includes a VH-based binder that targets BCMA, and interim clinical data presented at IMS in September 2024 support the Company's belief that T stem cell (TSCM)-rich allogeneic CAR-Ts have the potential to offer effective, safe and reliable treatment addressing unmet needs in multiple myeloma. The U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) has granted P-BCMA-ALLO1 Orphan Drug designation for multiple myeloma and Regenerative Medicine Advanced Therapy (RMAT) designation for adult patients with relapsed/refractory multiple myeloma after three or more prior lines of therapies including a proteasome inhibitor, an immunomodulatory agent and an anti-CD38 antibody.
P-BCMA-ALLO1 is currently being evaluated in a Phase 1/1b trial in patients with multiple myeloma. Additional information about the trial is available at www.clinicaltrials.gov using identifier: NCT04960579.
About P-CD19CD20-ALLO1
P-CD19CD20-ALLO1 is an allogeneic CAR-T cell therapy product candidate being developed for relapsed or refractory B-cell malignancies in partnership with Roche. P-CD19CD20-ALLO1 expresses two fully functional CAR molecules to target cells that express either CD19 or CD20. The dual targeting approach employed in P-CD19CD20-ALLO1 aims to overcome the antigen escape limitations of CD19-only targeted CAR-T therapies by simultaneously targeting both CD19 and CD20. In addition to the dual targeting, P-CD19CD20-ALLO1 uses a novel CD19 binder that showed greater potency in in vivo preclinical models when compared to the canonical FMC63 Single-chain variable fragment (scFv) binder. P-CD19CD20-ALLO1 is an off-the-shelf CAR-T therapy for which patients do not have to undergo apheresis and wait for cells to be manufactured, which can potentially overcome the limitation of autologous CAR-T therapies associated with significant manufacturing times. P-CD19CD20-ALLO1 is being studied in a Phase 1 study in B-cell malignancies. Additional information about the trial is available at www.clinicaltrials.gov using identifier: NCT06014762.
