CARTITUDE-1: Conclusions Cilta-cel has a manageable safety profile at the recommended phase 2 dose ̶
CRS was mostly grades 1/2; median time to onset of CRS was 7 days (range, 1–12) ̶
CAR-T-related neurotoxicities occurred in 20 patients (20.6%); 10.3% had grade ≥3
Low dose of cilta-cel yielded early, deep, and durable responses in heavily pretreated relapsed/refractory MM ̶ 96.9% ORR, with sCR 67.0% ̶ Median PFS not reached; 12-month PFS rate was 76.6%, OS rate was 88.5%
Cilta-cel is under further investigation in other populations of patients with MM in earlier-line settings ̶
Outpatient administration is being studied in CARTITUDE-2 (NCT04133636) and CARTITUDE-4 (NCT04181827)

CRB-401
Conclusions • Updated results from CRB-401 demonstrated deep and durable responses with ide-cel in heavily pretreated patients with RRMM – Efficacy and safety reflect prior reports and support a favorable clinical benefit-risk profile for ide-cel at target dose levels ≥ 150 × 106 CAR+ T cells, with a median OS of 34.2 months in a highly triple-class– exposed population and half of ongoing responders achieving DOR > 2 years
• In the pivotal phase 2 KarMMa trial, ide-cel treatment resulted in favorable risk/benefit profile in triple-class exposed RRMM 1 – ORR 73% (including CR rate 33%)
– Median DOR 10.7 months, median PFS 8.8 months, median OS 19.4 months
• Ide-cel is also being explored in ongoing clinical trials:

Teclistamab: Conclusions
Teclistamab was well-tolerated at the RP2D of 1500 µg/kg SC
̶ Maximum tolerated dose has not been identified ̶ All CRS events were grade 1–2 and generally confined to step-up and first full doses ̶ One grade 1 reversible neurotoxicity at RP2D ̶ No new safety signals were identified High response rate observed at the RP2D ̶ ORR at the RP2D (1500 µg/kg SC) was 73%; ≥VGPR was 55% and ≥CR was 23% • 14/20 (70%) triple-class refractory patients responded; 6/8 (75%) penta-drug refractory patients responded ̶ Responses appeared durable and deepened over time ̶ At median 3.9-month follow-up, 15/16 (94%) responders are alive and progression-free
Selection of the 1500 µg/kg SC RP2D was supported by promising safety, efficacy, PK, and pharmacodynamics
Teclistamab, an off-the-shelf therapy targeting BCMA, showed promising efficacy in heavily-pretreated patients with RRMM ̶ Phase 1 of the study is ongoing, and phase 2 expansion study has started

Chari et al. ASH Meeting 2020. Abstract #290 Phase 1 Study of Talquetamab in RRMM
Talquetamab: Conclusions Talquetamab has a tolerable safety profile at the RP2D of 405 µg/kg SC Safety profile at the RP2D was generally consistent with safety at lower doses, with low incidence of infections ̶
Early DLT of Gr 3 maculopapular rash and dose reductions due to certain toxicities (skin rash, oral toxicity, back pain) were observed in 4/11 patients (36%) at 800 µg/kg SC weekly
̶
CRS was generally low grade with no grade ≥3 CRS with SC dosing Low incidence of neurotoxicity with no grade ≥3 events with SC dosing ̶
̶
High response rate observed at the RP2D ORR was 69% (9/13) at the RP2D of 405 µg/kg SC; 39% ≥VGPR • Median time to first confirmed response was 1 month • 6/9 triple-class refractory patients responded; 2/2 penta-drug refractory patients responded Responses were durable and continued to deepen over time ̶
̶
PK results indicate target exposure levels at the RP2D, and pharmacodynamic data demonstrate consistent T cell activation, cytokine production, and redistribution at the RP2D SC dosing is more convenient and may offer an opportunity for less frequent dosing Talquetamab, a first-in-class, off-the-shelf therapy targeting GPRC5D, showed encouraging efficacy in heavily-pretreated patients with RRMM ̶
Dose expansion is ongoing and phase 2 is planned
