Its treatment demonstrated an overall remission rate, the primary endpoint for the trial, of 70% in an interim analysis of 50 patients, the company said on Friday.
Martin Murphy, chief executive of Syncona Investment Management, said: "Today's announcement from Autolus marks an important moment for the company as it progresses its lead programme of obe-cel in adult ALL.”
“The data is consistent with what was previously presented in the ALLCAR19 academic study, underlining the potential of obe-cel as a drug which can provide meaningful impact for patients suffering from ALL whilst also showing a very positive safety profile in a last line setting.”
“We are also encouraged by the expansion and persistence of obe-cel and look forward to future updates on whether this translates into potential best-in-class clinical durability.”
