Cartesian Therapeutics Initiates Clinical Trial of First RNA-Engineered Cell Therapy for Acute Respiratory Distress Syndrome and COVID-19 – PRNewswire

GAITHERSBURG, Md., Sept. 1, 2020 /PRNewswire/ --Cartesian Therapeutics, a fully integrated, clinical-stage biopharmaceutical company developing cell and gene therapies for cancer, autoimmune diseases and respiratory diseases, today announced that it has initiated a Phase 1/2 clinical trial of its lead RNA-engineered mesenchymal stem cell (MSC) therapy, Descartes-30, in patients with moderate-to-severe acute respiratory distress syndrome (ARDS), including that caused by COVID-19. Based upon the company's research and analysis, this program is understood to be the first RNA-engineered cell therapy to enter clinical development for ARDS and COVID-19. It is also the first cell therapy to specifically degrade NETs, webs of extracellular DNA and histones that entrap inflammatory cells, block alveoli and vessels, and drive the pathogenesis of ARDS and COVID-19.

"Patients with ARDS, especially those with COVID-19 ARDS, generate copious amounts of NETs that physically obstruct alveoli and vessels, which leads to respiratory distress, immune-mediated thrombosis and a vicious cycle of inflammation," said Bruce Levy, MD, Chief of Pulmonary and Critical Care Medicine at Brigham and Women's Hospital and Parker B. Francis Professor at Harvard Medical School, and a clinical investigator in the Descartes-30 trial. "We would therefore expect that degrading NETs would improve oxygenation as well as resolve thrombi and quell inflammation in these patients. If successful, Descartes-30 would be a highly differentiated game-changer within our limited toolkit in managing this exceedingly difficult condition."

Descartes-30 is an off-the-shelf (allogeneic) MSC product engineered with Cartesian's RNA ArmorySM cell therapy platform. By expressing a unique combination of DNases that work synergistically, Descartes-30 can eliminate large, macroscopic amounts of NETs within minutes. MSCs are inherently immunomodulatory and naturally travel to the lungs, where they are expected to provide continuous, local delivery of DNases to NET-laden lung tissue.

"We engineered Descartes-30 without genomic modification, and therefore the production of DNases is expected to be time-limited to match the acute nature of ARDS," said Metin Kurtoglu, MD, PhD, Chief Medical Officer at Cartesian. "Given thatDescartes-30will produce DNases locally and transiently, we anticipate that it will have a favorable benefit-to-risk profile. We also anticipate that these properties will enable Descartes-30 to treat a wide array of NET-related autoimmune and cardiovascular diseases."

About the Phase 1/2a Clinical Trial

The "Phase 1/2a Study of Descartes-30 in Acute Respiratory Distress Syndrome" (NCT04524962) is enrolling patients with ARDS at multiple critical care units in the United States. Patients with ARDS due to COVID-19 are given enrollment priority. This first-in-human study aims to determine the safety and preliminary efficacy of Descartes-30 in patients with moderate to severe ARDS. The study, which is estimated to begin treatment in September, aims to enroll approximately 20 patients prior to initiation of a larger study. For more information visit http://www.cartesiantherapeutics.com/Descartes-30-ARDS.

About ARDS and NETs

ARDS is a severe inflammatory lung disease with a mortality of over 40%. Inflammation leads to injury of lung tissue and leakage of blood and plasma into air spaces, resulting in low oxygen levels and often requiring mechanical ventilation. Inflammation in the lung may lead to inflammation elsewhere, causing shock and injury or dysfunction in the kidneys, heart, and muscles. Some causes of ARDS include COVID-19, severe pneumonia (including influenza), sepsis, trauma, and smoke inhalation.

NETs are inflammatory webs of DNA and proteins produced by neutrophils. NETs are commonly found in ARDS and are thought to exacerbate the disease by physically occluding air spaces and vessels, leading to reduced oxygenation and increased risk of immune thrombi. NETs are implicated in a variety of conditions beyond ARDS, including autoimmune and cardiovascular diseases.

About the RNA ArmorySM

The RNA ArmorySM is Cartesian's proprietary RNA-based cell engineering platform that activates and arms cells with carefully selected, mRNA-based therapeutics. Unmodified donor cells enter the RNA ArmorySMin the millions; a battle-ready cell army leaves the RNA ArmorySMin the tens of billions. Each cell is equipped with a combination of therapeutics rationally chosen to have a synergistic effect on the disease. In the body, the cells deliver a precision-targeted treatment regimen directly to the site of disease. The cells express therapeutics with a defined half-life, enhancing their safety profile and making repeat dosing and outpatient administration possible. The platform is agnostic to cell type: we choose the best cell for the job, whether autologous or off-the shelf. For more information visithttps://www.cartesiantherapeutics.com/rna-armory/.

Mustang Bio Announces Orphan Drug Designation for MB-107 for the Treatment of X-linked Severe Combined Immunodeficiency in Newly Diagnosed Infants -…

September 02, 2020 08:00 ET | Source: Mustang Bio, Inc.

WORCESTER, Mass., Sept. 02, 2020 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Mustang Bio, Inc. (Mustang) (NASDAQ: MBIO), a clinical-stage biopharmaceutical company focused on translating todays medical breakthroughs in cell and gene therapies into potential cures for hematologic cancers, solid tumors and rare genetic diseases, today announced that the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) has granted Orphan Drug Designation to MB-107, Mustangs lentiviral gene therapy for the treatment of X-linked severe combined immunodeficiency (XSCID), also known as bubble boy disease, in newly diagnosed infants under the age of two. The FDA previously granted Rare Pediatric Disease Designation in August 2020 and Regenerative Medicine Advanced Therapy designation in August 2019 to MB-107 for the treatment of XSCID in newly diagnosed patients. Additionally, the European Medicines Agency granted Advanced Therapy Medicinal Product classification to MB-107 in April 2020.

The FDA grants Orphan Drug Designation to drugs and biologics that are intended for the safe and effective treatment, diagnosis or prevention of rare diseases or disorders that affect fewer than 200,000 people in the U.S. Orphan Drug Designation provides certain incentives, such as tax credits toward the cost of clinical trials and prescription drug user fee waivers. If a product holding Orphan Drug Designation receives the first FDA approval for the disease in which it has such designation, the product is entitled to seven years of market exclusivity, which is independent from intellectual property protection.

Manuel Litchman, M.D., President and Chief Executive Officer of Mustang, said, Mustang has had a productive quarter on the regulatory front. We are very pleased to achieve another significant milestone and receive Orphan Drug Designation for MB-107 for the treatment of XSCID in newly diagnosed patients. This designation for MB-107, in addition to its Rare Pediatric Disease Designation, Regenerative Medicine Advanced Therapy designation and Advanced Therapy Medicinal Product classification, continues to enhance our regulatory pathway for a much-needed treatment option to address this devastating rare disease that affects children. We look forward to initiating our pivotal clinical programs for MB-107 in newly diagnosed infants with XSCID and MB-207 in previously transplanted patients with XSCID very soon.

MB-107 is currently being assessed in a Phase 1/2 clinical trial for XSCID in newly diagnosed infants under the age of two at St. Jude Childrens Research Hospital (St. Jude), UCSF Benioff Childrens Hospital in San Francisco and Seattle Childrens Hospital. In May 2020, Mustang submitted an investigational new drug application (IND) to the FDA to initiate a multi-center Phase 2 clinical trial of MB-107 in newly diagnosed infants with XSCID who are between two months to two years of age. The trial is expected to enroll 10 patients who, together with 15 patients enrolled in the current multi-center trial led by St. Jude, will be compared with 25 matched historical control patients who have undergone hematopoietic stem cell transplantation (HSCT). The primary efficacy endpoint will be event-free survival. The initiation of this trial is expected early in the fourth quarter of 2020. Mustang is targeting topline data from this trial in the second half of 2022.

Another Phase 1/2 clinical trial for XSCID in patients over the age of two years, who have received prior HSCT, is underway at the National Institutes of Health, and Mustang expects to file an IND to the FDA to initiate a multi-center Phase 2 clinical trial in this population in the fourth quarter of 2020. This product candidate for XSCID in patients over the age of two years, who have received prior HSCT, is designated MB-207. The FDA granted a Rare Pediatric Disease Designation to MB-207 in August 2020.

About X-linked Severe Combined Immunodeficiency (XSCID) X-linked severe combined immunodeficiency is a rare genetic disorder that occurs in approximately 1 per 225,000 births. It is characterized by the absence or lack of function of key immune cells, resulting in a severely compromised immune system and death by one year of age if untreated. Patients with XSCID have no T-cells or natural killer cells. Although their B-cells are normal in number, they are not functional. As a result, XSCID patients are usually affected by severe bacterial, viral or fungal infections early in life and often present with interstitial lung disease, chronic diarrhea and failure to thrive.

The specific genetic disorder that causes XSCID is a mutation in the gene coding for the common gamma chain (c), a protein that is shared by the receptors for at least six interleukins. These interleukins and their receptors are critical for the development and differentiation of immune cells. The gene coding for c is known as IL-2 receptor gamma, or IL2RG. Because IL2RG is located on the X-chromosome, XSCID is inherited in an X-linked recessive pattern, resulting in almost all patients being male.

Vor Biopharma and Metagenomi to Collaborate on Engineered Hematopoietic Stem-Cell Therapies – Business Wire

CAMBRIDGE, Mass.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Vor Biopharma, an oncology company pioneering engineered hematopoietic stem cells (eHSCs) for the treatment of cancer, and Metagenomi, a gene editing company discovering breakthrough systems for curing genetic disease, today announced that Vor will evaluate the potential use of Metagenomis gene editing technology to develop engineered hematopoietic stem cell-based therapies for the treatment of blood cancers, such as acute myeloid leukemia.

Cancer patients deserve therapies with strong effects on cancer cells and minimal effects on all other cells, said Tirtha Chakraborty, Ph.D., Vors VP and Head of Research. Our new partnership with Metagenomi will help us achieve this goal by engineering hematopoietic stem cells using precise yet flexible gene editing thereby ensuring that targeted therapies can live up to their name."

The collaboration is non-exclusive and applies to pre-clinical research only. Further terms of the agreement are not being disclosed.

This partnership unites two transformative technologies our proprietary gene editing enzymes, and Vors platform for engineering hematopoietic stem cells such that they are inherently treatment-resistant, said Brian C. Thomas, Metagenomis CEO and co-founder. We are excited to be working together to bring both of these cutting-edge approaches into the clinic.

About Vor Biopharma

Vor Biopharma aims to transform the lives of cancer patients by pioneering engineered hematopoietic stem cell (eHSC) therapies. By removing biologically redundant proteins from eHSCs, these cells become inherently invulnerable to complementary targeted therapies while tumor cells are left susceptible, thereby unleashing the potential of targeted therapies to benefit cancer patients in need.

Vors platform could be used to potentially change the treatment paradigm of both hematopoietic stem cell transplants and targeted therapies, such as antibody drug conjugates, bispecific antibodies and CAR-T cell treatments.

Vor is based in Cambridge, Mass. and has a broad intellectual property base, including in-licenses from Columbia University, where foundational work was conducted by inventor and Vor Scientific Board Chair Siddhartha Mukherjee, MD, DPhil.

About VOR33

Vors lead product candidate, VOR33, consists of engineered hematopoietic stem cells (eHSCs) that lack the protein CD33. Once these cells are transplanted into a cancer patient, we believe that CD33 will become a far more cancer-specific target, potentially avoiding toxicity to the normal blood and bone marrow associated with CD33-targeted therapies. Vor aims to improve the therapeutic window and effectiveness of CD33-targeted therapies, thereby potentially broadening the clinical benefit to patients suffering from acute myeloid leukemia.

About Metagenomi

Metagenomi is harnessing the vast information found in life on Earth to develop cures for genetic disease. Using proprietary data collected from around the world, Metagenomi has developed novel gene editing tools that enable next-generation gene and cell therapies.

Metagenomi is based out of Emeryville, California, and was founded by pioneers in the field of metagenomics, Jill Banfield and Brian C. Thomas. Metagenomi generates massive quantities of data from natural environments, producing complete genomes from organisms that are otherwise unknown. Metagenomi then unlocks the information captured in these genomes to develop game-changing in vivo and ex vivo therapeutics.

Orchard Therapeutics Announces Additional Interim Results from Proof-of-Concept Study of OTL-203 for MPS-I – BioSpace

Data on all eight patients demonstrate sustained engraftment and supranormal IDUA enzyme expression

Translation of metabolic correction to clinical outcomes in first two patients continues to support potential of hematopoietic stem cell gene therapy in a second neurometabolic disorder

Data support planned initiation of registrational trial in 2021

BOSTON and LONDON, Sept. 01, 2020 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Orchard Therapeutics(Nasdaq: ORTX), a global gene therapy leader, today announced additional interim data from an ongoing proof-of-concept clinical trial evaluating the safety and efficacy of OTL-203, an investigationalex vivoautologous hematopoietic stem cell (HSC) gene therapy in development for the treatment of mucopolysaccharidosis type I (MPS-I) at theSan Raffaele Telethon Institute for Gene Therapy(SR-Tiget) inMilan, Italy. The readout from the primary endpoint at one year of follow-up is expected in 2021. Today's results are being shared virtually in an invited oral presentation at the 46th Annual Meeting of the European Society for Blood and Bone Marrow Transplantation (EBMT).

We continue to see encouraging data from the ongoing clinical trial in MPS-I, including promising preliminary clinical effects on motor development, acquisition of cognitive skilIs and growth in the first two patients that were treated now 1.5 and 2 years ago, respectively. Additionally, new preliminary analyses of radiological outcome measures suggest that treatment with OTL-203 leads to stabilization or improvement in disease-related neurological abnormalities, as measured by brain and spine MRI, which we look to confirm with longer follow-up, saidMaria Ester Bernardo, M.D., Ph.D., principal investigator at SR-Tiget. "These data, taken together with those from clinical studies of HSC gene therapy for other metabolic disorders and leukodystrophies, support the potential for this therapeutic approach to correct a wide spectrum of multisystemic manifestations of the disease, bringing clinically meaningful benefits for patients.

Interim Study Results

Eight patients with the severe Hurler subtype of MPS-I had been treated with OTL-203 in the ongoing proof-of-concept study, which completed enrollment in December 2019. As of July 2020, all patients had been followed for a minimum of six months, with the longest follow-up extending out to 24 months. Treatment with OTL-203 was generally well-tolerated with a safety profile consistent with the selected conditioning regimen. Consistent with previous analyses, treatment across all eight patients continued to demonstrate:

We continue to see positive trends in all biomarker and clinical measures as we follow patients in the OTL-203 proof of concept study for longer periods of time, saidBobby Gaspar, M.D., Ph.D., chief executive officer of Orchard. With a growing amount of data to support advancing this program, we have recently convened a panel of disease experts to develop a design for a registrational trial that we intend to take to the regulators in advance of initiating the study in 2021 and ultimately progressing towards commercialization.

About OTL-203 and MPS-I

Mucopolysaccharidosis type I (MPS-I) is a rare, inherited neurometabolic disease caused by a deficiency of the alpha-L-iduronidase (IDUA) lysosomal enzyme, which is required to break down sugar molecules called glycosaminoglycans (also known as GAGs). The accumulation of GAGs across multiple organ systems results in symptoms including neurocognitive impairment, skeletal deformity, loss of vision and hearing, and cardiovascular and pulmonary complications. MPS-I occurs at an overall estimated frequency of one in every 100,000 live births. There are three subtypes of MPS-I; approximately 60 percent of children born with MPS-I have the most severe subtype, called Hurler syndrome, and rarely live past the age of 10 when untreated.

Treatment options for MPS-I include hematopoietic stem cell transplant and chronic enzyme replacement therapy, both of which have significant limitations. Though early intervention with enzyme replacement therapy has been shown to delay or prevent some clinical features of the condition, it has only limited efficacy on neurological symptoms. OTL-203 is an investigationalex vivoautologous hematopoietic stem cell gene therapy being studied for the treatment of MPS-I. Orchard was granted an exclusive worldwide license to intellectual property rights to research, develop, manufacture and commercialize the gene therapy program for the treatment of MPS-I developed by theSan Raffaele Telethon Institute for Gene TherapyinMilan, Italy.

About Orchard

Orchard Therapeuticsis a global gene therapy leader dedicated to transforming the lives of people affected by rare diseases through the development of innovative, potentially curative gene therapies.

New Report Begins a New Era of Stem Cell Science and Medicine: Stem Cell Biotechnology Company Asymmetrex Tells How It Counts Therapeutic Tissue Stem…

Impact of New Tissue Stem Cell Counting Algorithms

BOSTON (PRWEB) September 01, 2020

Stem cell biotechnology company, Asymmetrex, has been counting tissue stem cells like those used for bone marrow and cord blood transplantation therapies for a few years now. Recently, the company announced the issue of patents for its first-in-kind technology both in the U.S. and the U.K. However, until last Friday, August 28, Asymmetrex had not reported in the peer-reviewed academic literature how it achieves this feat that had been pursued by many distinguished labs for more than six decades.

Now in a report published in a special issue of OBM Transplantation, a peer-review journal for transplantation medicine research, Asymmetrex completes its introduction of the new technology to the fields of stem cell science and stem cell medicine. The report is the second invited article published in a special issue focused on the Isolation and Characterization of Adult Therapeutic Cells.

The new report describes Asymmetrexs discovery of mathematical formulas, call algorithms, that can be used to determine the number of stem cells in complex tissue cell preparations, like experimental samples or patient treatments. The stem cell counting algorithms are specific for different types of tissue stem cells. So, the algorithms defined for blood stem cells are distinct from the algorithms for liver stem cells, or lung stem cells. Once an algorithm is defined by the Asymmetrex technology, it can be used repeatedly as a simple, rapid, and inexpensive test to determine the quantity and dosage of its specific tissue stem cell type.

Asymmetrexs founder and director, James L. Sherley, M.D., Ph.D., anticipated the August publication of the new algorithms in a talk given earlier at the 6th Annual Perinatal Stem Cell Society Congress in March of this year. Then and now, he says that he believes, Now that the tissue stem cell counting algorithms are available, everything will change in stem cell science and medicine.

Prior to Asymmetrexs technology, there was no method for counting tissue stem cells in research, medicine, or for any other of their many uses. So, the impact of the stem cell counting algorithms in research and medicine is far-reaching. Such information is a game changer for accelerating progress in stem cell science and stem cell medicine, including improving treatments like gene therapy whose success depends on targeting tissue stem cells. There will also be tremendous gains in cell biomanufacturing, drug development, and environmental toxicology, all whose capabilities are currently limited by the lack of a facile means to quantify tissue stem cells.

To make the new counting technology readily accessible for evaluation by the greater academic, medical, and industrial stem cell communities, Asymmetrex provides free tissue stem cell counting on its company website.

FDA Approves Azacitidine tablets for Continued Treatment of AML – Cancer Network

The FDA has approved 300 mg tablets of azacitidine (Onureg) for the continued treatment of adult patients with acute myeloid leukemia (AML) who achieved first complete remission (CR) or CR with incomplete blood count recovery (CRi) following intensive induction chemotherapy and who are not able to complete intensive curative therapy, according to Bristol Myers Squibb, the developer of the agent.

The approval was based on results from the pivotal phase 3 QUAZAR AML-001 study in which treatment with azacitidine tablets resulted in a statistically significant and clinically meaningful improvement in overall survival (OS), the studys primary end point, of almost 10 months compared to placebo. Results from the study were first presented at the American Society of Hematology (ASH) Annual Meeting in December 2019.

Continued treatment with [azacitidine tablets]demonstrated an overall survival benefit in adults with AML who had achieved first complete remission in the QUAZARAML-001 study and, notably, it has the potential to do this in a convenient manner, given its once daily oral formulation, Andrew Wei, MBBS, PhD, QUAZAR AML-001 lead investigator from Alfred Hospital and Monash University in Melbourne, Australia, said in a press release. This approval should help establish continued treatment with [azacitidine tablets] as a standard component of AML therapy for adults who achieved first complete remission following chemotherapy and who cannot proceed to intensive curative therapy, like hematopoietic stem cell transplant.

The phase 3, international, randomized, double-blind study enrolled patients who were 55 years or older, had AML, were within 4 months of achieving first CR or CRi following intensive induction chemotherapy with or without consolidation treatment (per investigator preference prior to study entry), and were not candidates for hematopoietic stem cell transplant (HSCT) at the time of screening. Overall, the study enrolled 472 patients who were randomized 1:1 to receive either 300 mg of azacitidine tablets (n = 238) or placebo (n = 234) orally, once daily, for 14 days of a 28-day cycle, plus best supportive care.

Median OS from time of randomization was greater than 2 years (24.7 months; 95% CI, 18.7-30.5) among patients who received azacitidine tablets compared to 14.8 months (95% CI, 11.7-17.6) among patients receiving placebo (HR, 0.69; 95% CI, 0.55-0.86; P = .0009).Notably, the azacitidine tablets were continued until disease progression or unacceptable toxicity.

Serious adverse events (AEs) occurred in 15% of patients who received azacitidine tablets. Serious AEs observed in at least 2% of patients who received the agent included pneumonia (8%) and febrile neutropenia (7%). Only 1 fatal adverse reaction (sepsis) occurred in a patient who received azacitidine tablets.

The most common adverse events observed with azacitidine tablets versus placebo were nausea (65% vs 24%, respectively), vomiting (60% vs 10%), diarrhea (50% vs 21%), fatigue/asthenia (44% vs 25%), constipation (39% vs 24%), pneumonia (27% vs 17%), abdominal pain (22% vs 13%) arthralgia (14% vs 10%), decreased appetite (13% vs 6%), febrile neutropenia (12% vs 8%), dizziness (11% vs 9%), and pain in extremity (11% vs 5%). Moreover, of those who received azacitidine, permanent discontinuation due to an AE occurred in 8% of patients.

The FDA approval of [azacitidine tablets] is the culmination of over a decade of research and 13 pre-clinical and clinical trials. We are grateful to the patients, families and caregivers who participated in and supported these trials, and who ultimately made todays advancement possible, Giovanni Caforio, MD,chairman and chief executive officer, Bristol Myers Squibb, said in the release. This milestone is representative of our commitment to helping patients with hard-to-treat cancers live longer, and the approval of [azacitidine tablets] as an oral therapy option for patients is more relevant now than ever as the world continues to navigate the COVID-19 pandemic.

Importantly, Bristol Myers Squibb indicated that azacitidine tablets have warnings and precautions for risks of substitution with other azacitidine products, myelosuppression, increased early mortality in patients with myelodysplastic syndromes (MDS) and embryo-fetal toxicity. Due to substantial differences in the pharmacokinetic parameters, the company indicated azacitidine tablets should not be substituted for intravenous or subcutaneous azacitidine as it may result in a fatal adverse reaction.

The new drug application for this indication was previously granted priority review designation by the FDA, and a marketing authorization application for this indication was validated by the European Medicines Agency in May 2020.

Prior Use of Novel Agents Does Not Affect alloHCT Outcomes in CLL – Cancer Therapy Advisor

The number of prior novel agents administered or their use immediately prior to allogeneic hemopoietic stem cell transplant (alloHCT) for the treatment of chronic lymphocytic leukemia (CLL) was not associated with outcomes, according to results of a retrospective study published in Blood Advances.1

Novel agents such as BCR, BTK, PI3K, and BCL2 inhibitors have generally improved outcomes among patients with CLL, but a subset of patients experience disease progression, resistance, high-grade transformation, or drug intolerance and require additional curative modalities.

Understanding outcomes for potentially curative modalities including alloHCT following novel agent therapy is critical while devising treatment sequences aimed at long-term disease control, the authors wrote.

This multicenter, retrospective cohort study included 65 patients with CLL who underwent alloHCT. All patients had received at least 1 novel agent prior to their transplant. Patient-related and disease-related characteristics were assessed, as well as prior treatment and transplant characteristics.

At baseline, the median patient age was 50 years at CLL diagnosis and 60 years at alloHCT. The HCT-comorbidity index (CI) was 0 among 38% of patients, 1-2 among 37%, and 3 among 25%. The majority of patients received a reduced-intensity conditioning regimen and a calcineurin inhibitor with methotrexate as graft-versus-host disease (GVHD) prophylaxis. The median number of previous lines of therapy was 3, with a median of 1 prior novel agent.

At 24 months, the progression-free survival (PFS) was 63% and overall survival (OS) was 81%. Nonrelapse mortality was 13% and relapse occurred among 27% of patients.

The number of novel agents used prior to transplant and the timing of their use was not associated with PFS or OS. In univariate analyses, there was no association between PFS and prior use of ibrutinib, venetoclax, PI3K inhibitors, 2 novel agents, or novel agent use immediately before alloHCT. Results were similar for OS.

Poor-risk characteristics, complete versus partial remission, and transplant characteristics were also not associated with PFS after transplant.

Multivariate analysis, however, demonstrated that HCT-CI 1 was significantly associated with PFS (hazard ratio, 3.3; 95% CI, 1.1-9.9; P =.035).

The authors concluded that prior novel agents do not appear to impact the safety of alloHCT, and survival outcomes are similar regardless of number of novel agents received, prior chemoimmunotherapy exposure, or novel agent immediately preceding alloHCT.
