Autolus Therapeutics presented extended follow-up data from the FELIX study of obe-cel in relapsed/refractory B-ALL patients at the 2025 EHA Congress. The results showed impressive durability with median response duration of 42.6 months. At 24 months, over 50% of patients maintained remission, with 38% of ongoing responders requiring no additional therapy by month 33. The 24-month probability rates were 43% for Event Free Survival and 46% for Overall Survival. The study demonstrated obe-cel's effectiveness across age groups, with favorable outcomes in both under and over 55-year-old patients. Key factors associated with long-term remission included Philadelphia chromosome-positive disease, earlier obe-cel use, lower disease burden, and ongoing CAR T-cell persistence. No new safety concerns emerged during the extended follow-up period.
