Orca Bio Presents Promising Data on Orca-T in Two Oral Presentations at the 2024 Tandem Meetings of ASTCT® and CIBMTR

On February 23, 2024 Orca Bio, a late-stage biotechnology company developing high-precision cell therapies for the treatment of cancer, autoimmune diseases and genetic blood disorders, reported positive data on its lead investigational high-precision cell therapy, Orca-T, presented at the 2024 Tandem Meetings, Transplantation & Cellular Therapy Meetings of the American Society for Transplantation and Cellular Therapy (ASTCT) and the Center for International Blood and Marrow Transplant Research (CIBMTR) (Press release, Orca Bio, FEB 23, 2024, View Source [SID1234640425]).

In the first of two oral presentations, findings from a retrospective analysis compared historical outcomes between Orca-T and a standard of care allogeneic stem cell transplant (alloHSCT) plus post-transplant cyclophosphamide (PTCy)-based graft versus host disease (GvHD) prophylaxis in patients with hematologic malignancies receiving myeloablative conditioning (MAC). Within the non-randomized cohorts of varying conditioning regimens and disease types, Orca-T demonstrated favorable results across clinical outcomes including relapse-free survival (RFS), non-relapse mortality (NRM) and overall survival (OS).

"When treating hematological malignancies, physicians are often faced with compromising between the risk of relapse and the risk of serious toxicities, all of which can impact overall patient survival," said Alexandra Gomez-Arteaga, MD, Assistant Professor of Medicine at Weill Cornell Medicine, hematologist oncologist in the Bone Marrow Transplant and Cellular Therapy Program at NewYork-Presbyterian/Weill Cornell Medical Center, and presenting author. "While advances in prophylaxis agents have demonstrated improvements in reducing the rate of graft versus host disease, the findings of this retrospective analysis suggest Orca-T may also provide benefits across key survival metrics, further highlighting the importance of identifying novel approaches that may offer enhancements across all patient outcomes."

The analysis further compared a subgroup of 48 patients from Orca Bio’s multi-center Phase 1b trial who received a MAC Orca-T with single-agent tacrolimus (TAC) and a conditioning regimen of busulfan, fludarabine and thiotepa (BFT) which is being used in the pivotal Phase 3 clinical study of Orca-T, with 61 patients from the CIBMTR literature-based cohort1 who received an alloHSCT with a combination of PTCy, calcineurin inhibitor (CNI) and mycophenolate mofetil (MMF). The analysis included patients with acute myeloid leukemia (AML) and myelodysplastic syndromes (MDS) who had a median follow-up time of 15 months and 12 months in the Orca-T and PTCy cohorts, respectively. The outcomes at 12 months are summarized in the table below:

Orca-T with BFT/TAC

Standard alloHSCT with CNI/MMF/PTCy

RFS

86%

63%

NRM

0%

17%

OS

100%

76%

In a second oral presentation, results were shared from a subgroup analysis of Orca Bio’s ongoing multi-center Phase 1b clinical trial of patients with AML, MDS and acute lymphocytic leukemia (ALL) who received Orca-T and BFT conditioning. The findings demonstrated Orca-T’s potential ability to deliver similar outcomes in older patients (55+ years of age, n=25) and younger patients (18-54 years of age, n=39) undergoing MAC. Notably, Orca-T delivered similar results across RFS (84.8% in younger patients and 82.3% in older patients), NRM (0% in both groups) and OS (100% and 95.5% in the younger and older patient groups, respectively). Across all patients, Orca-T continued to be manufactured reliably and delivered with vein-to-vein times of 72 hours or less across the U.S. These data were previously presented at the 65th American Society of Hematology (ASH) (Free ASH Whitepaper) Annual Meeting in December 2023.

"We are pleased to present findings that reinforce the potential for Orca-T to address the balancing act that providers encounter when working to achieve a lasting cure while reducing toxicities," said Scott McClellan, MD, PhD, Chief Medical Officer at Orca Bio. "The ability of Orca-T to potentially treat the disease while also lowering treatment-related mortality, including for patients of a more advanced age, could arm physicians with an important new therapeutic option. We look forward to continued investigation of Orca-T in our randomized Phase 3 study, Precision-T."

About Orca-T

Orca-T is an investigational high-precision allogeneic cell therapy being evaluated in clinical trials for the treatment of multiple hematologic malignancies. Orca-T includes infusions containing regulatory T-cells, CD34+ stem cells and conventional T-cells derived from peripheral blood from either related or unrelated matched donors. Orca-T is currently being evaluated in a pivotal Phase 3 clinical trial at leading transplant centers across the U.S. and has received Regenerative Medicine Advanced Therapy (RMAT) designation from the U.S. Food and Drug Administration.

Actinium Highlights Improved Survival with Iomab-B in TP53 Positive Relapsed Refractory Acute Myeloid Leukemia Patients in the SIERRA Trial and Other Presentations at the 2024 Tandem Meetings | Transplantation & Cellular Therapy Meetings of ASTCT® and CIBMTR

On February 23, 2024 Actinium Pharmaceuticals, Inc. (NYSE AMERICAN: ATNM) (Actinium or the Company), a leader in the development of targeted radiotherapies, reported results from three poster presentations at the 2024 Tandem Meetings | Transplantation & Cellular Therapy (TCT) Meetings of ASTCT (American Society for Transplantation and Cellular Therapy and CIBMTR (Center for International Blood and Marrow Transplant Research) being held in San Antonio, Texas (Press release, Actinium Pharmaceuticals, FEB 23, 2024, View Source [SID1234640423]). The posters detailed results and findings from the Phase 3 SIERRA trial of Iomab-B (131I-Apamistamab) including; improved rates of Complete Remission (CR), durable Complete Remission (dCR) and survival in patients with a TP53 mutation, key aspects of radiopharmaceutical dosimetry as related to Iomab-B, and early results from a Phase 1 study demonstrating safety and lymphodepletion from Iomab-ACT conditioning with CD19 CAR-T therapy.

Dr. Avinash Desai, Actinium’s Chief Medical Officer, said, "Patients with a TP53 mutation have a desperate need for viable treatment options to improve outcomes. As seen in the SIERRA trial, Iomab-B led bone marrow transplant can overcome the negative impact of a TP53 mutation, producing complete remissions in more than 50% of patients as well as significant durable complete remissions. This is in stark contrast to the 0% complete remission and durable complete remission rate seen in the TP53 positive patients on the control arm who received best available treatment based on physician’s choice. We are excited to further highlight these important outcomes to the transplant community and look forward to presenting additional findings from the SIERRA trial in our upcoming oral presentations."

Upcoming Iomab-B Phase 3 SIERRA Trial 2024 TCT Oral Presentations:

Title: 131I-Apamistamab Improves Outcomes in Patients 65 Years and Older with Relapsed or Refractory AML

Date & Time: Saturday, February 24, 2024, at 11:45 AM

Title: Targeted Myeloablative Radiation Using 131I-Apamistamab Prior to Allogeneic Hematopoietic Cell Transplant for Patients with R/R AML Results in Robust Engraftment

Date & Time: Saturday, February 24, 2024, at 10:30 AM

In addition, Actinium presented results from its ongoing phase 1 trial using Iomab-ACT as conditioning prior to CD19 CAR-T therapy for patients with relapsed or refractory B-cell Acute Lymphoblastic Leukemia or Diffuse Large B-cell Lymphoma. Importantly, no patients (0/4) developed immune effector cell-associated neurotoxicity syndrome (ICANS) of any grade, a major safety measure of the study, as ICANS is observed in 25% or more of pts w/ R/R B-ALL and DLBCL treated with various CAR T-cell products. Iomab-ACT demonstrated transient depletion of peripheral blood lymphocytes and monocytes. Persistence of CAR T-cells up to 8 weeks and minimal non-hematologic toxicities have been observed to date.
