43 Percent Complete Remission Rate Continues at 12-Month Follow-Up
"These data complement our recently reported interim topline results from ZUMA-1 Phase 2 and support the potential for KTE-C19 to be a breakthrough therapy for chemorefractory, aggressive NHL," said
A summary of the 12-month follow-up data from the Phase 1 portion of the ZUMA-1 study is provided below.
Ongoing complete remissions in phase 1 of ZUMA-1: a phase 1-2 multi-center study evaluating the safety and efficacy of KTE-C19 (anti-CD19 CAR T cells) in patients with refractory aggressive B cell non-Hodgkin Lymphoma (NHL). Abstract 1048O; Presenter:
- Phase 1 of ZUMA-1 treated a total of 7 patients with chemorefractory, diffuse large B-cell lymphoma (DLBCL)
- KTE-C19 related adverse events consisted predominantly of cytokine release syndrome (CRS) and neurotoxicity which were generally reversible
- Grade 3 or higher CRS was observed in 14 percent and neurotoxicity in 57 percent; all were reversible except in one patient with dose-limiting toxicity
- KTE-C19 achieved rapid and durable responses in patients with chemorefractory disease (objective response rate 71 percent, complete remission rate 57 percent)
- Ongoing complete remissions were observed in 3 of 7 patients as of 12-month study follow-up
Three additional posters relating to KTE-C19 clinical trials in progress will also be presented at ESMO 2016.

About KTE-C19
Kite Pharma's lead product candidate, KTE-C19, is an investigational therapy in which a patient's T cells are engineered to express a CAR to target the antigen CD19, a protein expressed on the cell surface of B-cell lymphomas and leukemias, and redirect the T cells to kill cancer cells. KTE-C19 has been granted Breakthrough Therapy Designation status for diffuse large B-cell lymphoma (DLBCL), transformed follicular lymphoma (TFL), and primary mediastinal B-cell lymphoma (PMBCL) by the U.S. Food and Drug Administration and Priority Medicines (PRIME) regulatory support for DLBCL in the EU.
