The landmark trial is the first-ever clinical investigation of a T-cell product candidate manufactured from a clonal master induced pluripotent stem cell (iPSC) line, a renewable cell source that enables mass production of engineered T-cell therapies with greater product consistency, off-the-shelf availability, and broader patient accessibility. FT819 incorporates several first-of-kind features including the integration of a novel CD19-targeted 1XX chimeric antigen receptor (CAR) construct into the T-cell receptor alpha constant (TRAC) locus, which is intended to promote uniform CAR expression, enhance T-cell potency, and prevent graft-versus-host disease (Eyquem et al. Nature, 543, 113–117, 2017).

Key Points: 
  • Four patients with Richter’s Transformation (median of 5.5 prior lines of therapy [range 2-9]) did not respond to therapy at Day 30.
