TESSA THERAPEUTICS ANNOUNCES PRESENTATION OF AUTOLOGOUS AND ALLOGENEIC CELL THERAPY DATA AT 2021 ASH ANNUAL MEETING

Presentations to feature clinical data from a Phase II CD30 CAR-T therapy study and a Phase I CD30 CAR-EBVST therapy study targeting lymphomas

SINGAPORE, Nov 5 (Bernama-GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Tessa Therapeutics Ltd. (Tessa), a clinical-stage cell therapy company developing next-generation cancer treatments for hematological malignancies and solid tumors, today announced that data from its ongoing autologous and allogeneic cell therapy studies targeting lymphomas has been accepted for two separate poster presentations at the 63rd American Society of Hematology (ASH) Annual Meeting and Exposition being held from December 11-14, 2021.

The presentations include clinical data from a Phase II multi-center study evaluating safety and efficacy of CD30 CAR-T therapy (TT11) in patients with relapsed / refractory classical Hodgkin Lymphoma (R/R cHL) and another Phase I investigator-initiated study testing allogeneic ‘off-the-shelf’ CD30 CAR EBVST therapy (TT11X) in patients with relapsed / refractory CD30+ lymphoma. Accepted abstracts will also be published online in the November supplemental issue of Blood, a publication of the American Society of Hematology.

About TT11 (CD30 CAR-T Therapy)

TT11 is a CAR-T therapy, which harvests a patient’s own T-cells and modifies them by introducing a CD30-directed Chimeric Antigen Receptor (CAR) to target and kill CD30+ cells in classical Hodgkin Lymphoma (cHL). CD30 is a well validated lymphoma target with homogeneous expression in 98% of cHL and a significant proportion of subsets of non-Hodgkin Lymphomas. Clinical data from two Phase 1/2 studies, published last year in the Journal of Clinical Oncologya, showed TT11 demonstrated strong safety and efficacy as a monotherapy for heavily pre-treated R/R cHL patients. A Phase 2 study was subsequently conducted this year evaluating TT11 among R/R cHL patients, results for which will be presented at 2021 ASH annual meeting.
