(Tessa), a clinical-stage cell therapy company developing next-generation cancer treatments for hematological malignancies and solid tumors, today announced updated clinical data from the pilot stage of the ongoing Phase 2 CHARIOT trial (NCT04268706) of TT11, the Company’s autologous CD30 chimeric antigen receptor T-cell (CAR-T) therapy, were presented in a poster and oral podium presentation at the 64rd Annual Meeting of the American Society of Hematology (ASH). The results demonstrated TT11 to be well-tolerated with promising efficacy in relapsed or refractory (r/r) CD30-positive classical Hodgkin lymphoma (cHL). Moreover, research identified circulating tumor DNA (ctDNA) analysis as a potential measure of response in cHL after CD30 targeted CAR T-cell therapy.

Key Points: 
  • The results demonstrated TT11 to be well-tolerated with promising efficacy in relapsed or refractory (r/r) CD30-positive classical Hodgkin lymphoma (cHL).
  • The ASH poster, titled, “Updated Results and Correlative Analysis: Autologous CD30.CAR-T Cell Therapy in Patients with Relapsed or Refractory Classical Hodgkin Lymphoma (CHARIOT Trial),” reported expanded data from the pilot segment of a Phase 2 trial of autologous CD30.CAR-T in patients with r/r cHL.
  • “The data presented at ASH 2022 continue to demonstrate the CD30.CAR-T cell therapy to be well tolerated with excellent anti-tumor responses in patients with relapsed or refractory classical Hodgkin lymphoma.
