Legend Biotech's LB2501 Shows 100% ORR in B-NHL Trial

AI Summary

Legend Biotech announced positive first clinical proof-of-concept data for its investigational in vivo CD19/CD20 dual-targeting CAR-T cell therapy, LB2501, in patients with relapsed or refractory B-cell non-Hodgkin lymphoma (R/R B-NHL). The Phase 1 study showed a 100% objective response rate (ORR) and an 83.3% complete response rate (CR) at the higher dose level (DL2), with all responses ongoing. The therapy demonstrated a favorable safety profile with no dose-limiting toxicities, serious adverse events, or deaths reported. These results support the potential of LB2501 as a first-in-class therapy.
