Additional profiling of patient responses in P-BCMA-ALLO1 Phase 1 Arm C and preclinical P-CD19CD20-ALLO1 to be presented at ASH

SAN DIEGO, Nov. 5, 2024 /PRNewswire/ -- Poseida Therapeutics, Inc. (Nasdaq: PSTX), a clinical-stage allogeneic cell therapy and genetic medicines company advancing differentiated non-viral treatments for patients with cancer, autoimmune and rare diseases, today announced new preclinical data on allogeneic CAR+TCR-T cells rich in stem cell memory T cells (T_SCM), along with platform enhancements aimed at enhancing potency and improving targeting of solid tumors, will be presented at the Society for Immunotherapy of Cancer (SITC) 39^th Annual Meeting in Houston, November 6-10.

Additionally, the Company announced presentations at the 66^th American Society of Hematology (ASH) Annual Meeting & Exposition, which will be held December 7-10 in San Diego. To further characterize compelling emerging P-BCMA-ALLO1 clinical data, additional profiling of patient responses from the optimized lymphodepletion arm (Arm C) of the P-BCMA-ALLO1 Phase 1 study, along with data first presented at the 21st International Myeloma Society (IMS) Annual Meeting will be highlighted as a poster presentation. In addition, preclinical data from the ongoing Phase 1 trial of P-CD19CD20-ALLO1 in patients with B-cell malignancies will be delivered as a poster presentation.

P-BCMA-ALLO1 is an investigational non-viral T_SCM-rich allogeneic CAR-T therapy in Phase 1/1b clinical development. This investigational off-the-shelf allogeneic CAR-T cell therapy targeting BCMA has received Regenerative Medicine Advanced Therapy (RMAT) designation for adult patients with relapsed/refractory multiple myeloma after three or more prior lines of therapies. P-CD19CD20-ALLO1, the Company's first allogeneic dual CAR-T cell product candidate, targets both CD19 and CD20 antigens for the treatment of relapsed or refractory B-cell malignancies. The Company is developing P-BCMA-ALLO1 and P-CD19CD20-ALLO1 as part of a broader collaboration with Roche focused on addressing hematologic malignancies with Poseida's T_SCM-rich CAR-T platform.

About P-BCMA-ALLO1
P-BCMA-ALLO1 is an allogeneic CAR-T product candidate licensed to Roche targeting B-cell maturation antigen (BCMA) for the treatment of relapsed/refractory multiple myeloma. This allogeneic program includes a VH-based binder that targets BCMA, and interim clinical data presented at IMS in September 2024 support the Company's belief that T stem cell (T_SCM)-rich allogeneic CAR-Ts have the potential to offer effective, safe and reliable treatment addressing unmet needs in multiple myeloma. The U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) has granted P-BCMA-ALLO1 Orphan Drug designation for multiple myeloma and Regenerative Medicine Advanced Therapy (RMAT) designation for adult patients with relapsed/refractory multiple myeloma after three or more prior lines of therapies including a proteasome inhibitor, an immunomodulatory agent and an anti-CD38 antibody.

P-BCMA-ALLO1 is currently being evaluated in a Phase 1/1b trial in patients with multiple myeloma. Additional information about the trial is available at www.clinicaltrials.gov using identifier: NCT04960579.

About P-CD19CD20-ALLO1
P-CD19CD20-ALLO1 is an allogeneic CAR-T cell therapy product candidate being developed for relapsed or refractory B-cell malignancies in partnership with Roche. P-CD19CD20-ALLO1 expresses two fully functional CAR molecules to target cells that express either CD19 or CD20. The dual targeting approach employed in P-CD19CD20-ALLO1 aims to overcome the antigen escape limitations of CD19-only targeted CAR-T therapies by simultaneously targeting both CD19 and CD20. In addition to the dual targeting, P-CD19CD20-ALLO1 uses a novel CD19 binder that showed greater potency in in vivo preclinical models when compared to the canonical FMC63 Single-chain variable fragment (scFv) binder. P-CD19CD20-ALLO1 is an off-the-shelf CAR-T therapy for which patients do not have to undergo apheresis and wait for cells to be manufactured, which can potentially overcome the limitation of autologous CAR-T therapies associated with significant manufacturing times. P-CD19CD20-ALLO1 is being studied in a Phase 1 study in B-cell malignancies. Additional information about the trial is available at www.clinicaltrials.gov using identifier: NCT06014762.
