About the CARMA Study
CARMA is a phase I/IIa clinical study evaluating the safety and efficacy of the CAR T-cell therapy ELC-301 in the treatment of patients with B-cell lymphoma. The study is divided into a dose-escalation phase (phase I) and a dose-expansion phase (phase IIa). Phase I primarily aims to establish the optimal dose and safety profile in up to 12 patients, while phase IIa will further evaluate the efficacy of the maximum tolerated dose in an additional six patients. Phase I is planned to include three cohorts (dosing groups), with three patients in the first and second cohorts, and six patients in the third cohort, who are expected to receive the maximum tolerated dose. The CARMA study is being conducted at Uppsala University Hospital and Karolinska University Hospital in Huddinge.
About ELC-301
ELC-301 is a fourth-generation CAR T-cell therapy targeting the CD20 antigen, armed with the company’s iTANK platform to activate a broader and more comprehensive parallel immune response against cancer. CAR T-cells are a form of cell therapy created by genetically modifying a patient’s T-cells to express a synthetic receptor (chimeric antigen receptor, CAR). This receptor is specifically designed to target a single tumor antigen—a molecule visible on the surface of cancer cells—and enables the T-cells to locate, bind to, and destroy the cancer cells.
About the iTANK-platform
The iTANK technology platform has been developed for arming and enhancing CAR T-cells to meettwo of the major challenges CAR T-cell therapies face in the treatment of solid tumors: a very diverseset of tumor antigen targets and a very hostile tumor microenvironment. The technology is used toincorporate a transgene into CAR T-cells encoding a neutrophil activating bacterial protein (NAP).NAP secreted from the CAR(NAP) T-cells has been shown to be able to enhance the function of CART-cells and importantly activating a parallel bystander immune response against the cancer via CD8+killer T-cells. This is expected to lead to a broad attack against most antigen targets on cancer cells.The iTANK platform is used to enhance the company’s own CAR T-cells but can also be universallyapplied to other CAR T-cell therapies under development. Proof-of-concept data was published inNature Biomedical Engineering in April 2022. The publication, titled “CAR T cells expressing abacterial virulence factor triggers potent bystander antitumor responses in solid cancers” (DOInumber: 10.1038/s41551-022-00875-5) can be found here: https://www.nature.com/articles/s41551-022-00875-5.
