Nov. 10th, 2020 -- Bioheng Biotech Co., Ltd, a clinical-stage biotech company focused on developing novel cellular immunotherapy to treat cancer, today announced an oral presentation at 62th The data will be presented regarding the pre-clinical development, manufacturing, and IIT clinical results of the company’s lead product, CTA101, a CRISPR-Cas9-engineered off-the-shelf CD19/CD22 dual-targeted CAR T cell product, in patients with relapsed / refractory B-cell acute Lymphoblastic Leukemia.
“CTA101, a CRISPR-engineered allogeneic dual-targeted CAR-T, has showed manageable safety and promising efficacy in the treatment of r/r B-ALL patients,” said the PI of this study, He Huang, MD, PhD, Professor of hematology, President of The First Affiliated Hospital, Zhejiang University School of Medicine. “It has preliminarily verified the feasibility of generating allogeneic CAR-T by CRISPR gene editing and provided evidence for extended application in the future. As an allogeneic CAR-T, CTA101 tackles several limitations associated with conventional CAR-T therapy, such as possible manufacturing failures, undesirable waiting period between leukapheresis and CAR-T infusion, poor product consistency due to bespoke manufacturing process for individual patient, and unaffordable cost. In addition, its dual-targeted design may be a viable solution to reduce the relapse rate of B-ALL. I would like to expect more allogeneic CAR T cell products for clinical use, which certainly provide more choices to address the unmet medical needs.”
