Poseida Therapeutics, Inc. announced new data from a subset of patients in an ongoing Phase 1 study of its lead program, P-BCMA-ALLO1. Results showed that three of the five (60%) patients with relapsed/refractory multiple myeloma who had progressed following BCMA-targeted therapy achieved clinical responses with P-BCMA-ALLO1. In addition, this investigational treatment was well-tolerated.

P-BCMA-ALLO1 is a novel investigational B-cell maturation antigen (BCMA)-targeted allogeneic, T stem cell memory (TSCM)-rich chimeric antigen receptor T-cell (CAR-T) therapy manufactured from healthy donor T-cells and available off-the-shelf. These new Phase 1 study subgroup data and a new data analysis of different lymphodepletion regimens in patients treated with P-BCMA-ALLO1 for multiple myeloma or P-MUC1C-ALLO1 for solid tumors are being presented in a poster session at the American Association for Cancer Research (AACR) Annual Meeting 2024 in San Diego. New Phase 1 P-BCMA-ALLO1 Study Subgroup Data: The open-label, multicenter Phase 1 dose-escalation study in patients with relapsed/refractory multiple myeloma is assessing the safety and maximum tolerated dose of P-BCMA-ALLO1 (primary objective) and its anti-myeloma activity (secondary objective).

Study participants were required to have received a prior proteasome inhibitor, immunomodulatory drug and anti-CD38 monoclonal antibody. Five study participants who had progressed on or following prior BCMA-targeting autologous CAR-T, T-cell engagers or both, and with ninety days post-P-BCMA-ALLO1 treatment follow-up, are presented in this poster. Key findings from the subgroup analysis showed that P-BCMA-ALLO1 was well tolerated with no dose-limiting toxicities, graft vs.

host disease, or Grade 3 or greater cytokine release syndrome (CRS) or immune effector cell neurotoxicity syndrome (ICANS). The overall response rate in patients receiving P-BCMA-ALLO1 was 60%, with all three patients who achieved a clinical response experiencing a very good partial response (VGPR). This included one patient who had previously received both teclistamab and an autologous CAR-T therapy and has maintained a response for more than four months.

New Data on Optimizing Lymphodepletion (LD) Regimen for Patients with Solid Tumors Treated with Investigational Allogeneic CAR-T Therapy: As patients with multiple myeloma receive more bone marrow suppressive treatments than those with solid tumors during their treatment journeys, this analysis evaluated the effect of increasing amounts of cyclophosphamide in LD regimens to optimize CAR-T pharmacokinetics. The analysis compared various LD regimens in two early Phase 1 trials of Poseida's investigational allogeneic CAR-T cell therapies in patients with multiple myeloma and solid tumors. Results showed that patients with solid tumors may require higher cyclophosphamide doses to achieve adequate LD, which would provide a sufficient niche to support allogeneic CAR-T expansion.
