Tumor burden-guided dosing of obe-cel in patients with R/R B-cell ALL: Results from the FELIX trial

Sep 24, 2024
Share:
Learning objective: After reading this article, learners will be able to cite a new clinical development in acute lymphoblastic leukemia.

The phase Ib/II FELIX trial (NCT04404660) evaluated the safety and efficacy of obe-cel, a novel autologous CD19 CAR T-cell therapy, in 127 adult patients with R/R B-ALL.1 Patients received obe-cel based on a TB-guided dosing schedule. Results from this trial were presented at the SOHO 2024 Annual Meeting by Elias Jabbour.1

Key learnings

High CAR T-cell expansion was observed, with median peak expansion achieved after Dose 2 in both low- and high-TB-guided groups, demonstrating the beneficial effects of these doses independent of TB.  

The ORR was 78.0%, 73.3%, and 84.6% in all patients, high-TB patients (n=75), and low-TB patients (n=52), respectively. CR rates were 57.5%, 56.0%, and 59.6%, respectively.  

TB-guided dosing of obe-cel was associated with a manageable safety profile, including in high-TB patients. Obe-cel-related Grade ≥3 AEs were reported in 60.6% of all patients, 57.3% of high-TB patients, and 65.4% of low-TB patients. Grade ≥3 CRS occurred in 2.4%, 2.7%, and 1.9%, while ICANS occurred in 7.1%, 9.3%, and 3.8% of all patients, high-TB patients, and low-TB patients, respectively.  

The TB-guided administration of obe-cel resulted in promising efficacy and low incidences of Grade ≥3 immunotoxicity, supporting its use in patients with R/R B-ALL.

I commit to reviewing the latest clinical data and recommendations for the optimal dosing of recombinant asparaginase in ALL to reduce and manage toxicities.
