Learning objective: After reading this article, learners will be able to cite a new clinical development in acute lymphoblastic leukemia.


CAR T-cell therapies targeting CD19 have demonstrated promising efficacy for the treatment of patients with R/R B-ALL; a population with a significant unmet need for safe and effective treatments. Inaticabtagene autoleucel (inati-cel) is a novel autologous CD19-specific CAR T-cell therapy with a distinct scFv derived from the HI19α clone.1

 

A single-arm, open-label, multicenter phase II trial (NCT04684147) assessed the safety and efficacy of inati-cel in 48 adult patients with R/R B-ALL and ECOG PS of 0 to 1 across 10 centers in China.1 The primary endpoint was overall remission rate (ORR) at the end of Month 3. Results were published in Blood Advances by Wang et al.1

 

Key learnings

The primary endpoint was met, with a 3-month ORR of 70.8% vs a historical control rate of 25% (p < 0.0001). The bORR was 85.4%, with all responders achieving MRD negativity, and a median DOR of 20.7 months.

With a median follow-up of 23.7 months, the median RFS was 12.4 months, with the median OS not reached. The estimated 24-month RFS and OS rates were 35.8% and 55.2%, respectively.

With a median follow-up of 23.7 months, inati-cel exhibited a manageable long-term safety profile, with Grade ≥3 CRS and ICANS occurring in 12.5% and 6.2% of patients, respectively.

Results from this trial led to the approval of inati-cel by the China National Medical Products Administration as the first CAR T-cell therapy for adult patients with R/R B-ALL in China, addressing a significant unmet medical need.
