Our findings demonstrate that the T-Charge™ manufacturing platform successfully maintains highly heterogeneous transduced Tscm clones with self-renewal potential in durcabtagene autoleucel products. Maintenance of Tscm in manufactured products contributes to robust CAR-T expansion and long-term persistence of CAR-T cells with a highly diverse TCR repertoire after infusion.

In addition to its unique phenotype, PHE885 secretes up to 25 fold more target specific IL-2 and ~7 fold more IFN gamma in vitro , when comparing to the TM products either using the same lentiviral vector (TM_PHE885) or a clinically validated anti-BCMA vector (MCM998) . Based on these results, a Phase 1, open-label trial assessing PHE885 in patients with r/r MM (NCT04318327) was initiated. Initial data from the dose escalation portion of the Phase 1 study will be presented separately.
