Legend Biotech (NASDAQ: LEGN) announced positive overall survival results from the Phase 3 CARTITUDE-4 trial, evaluating CARVYKTI® in relapsed and lenalidomide-refractory multiple myeloma. The trial showed statistically significant and clinically meaningful improvement in overall survival compared to PVd and DPd regimens.
The safety profile was consistent with previous data, and no new safety signals were identified. The results will be shared with regulatory agencies for potential updates. CARVYKTI® had already gained FDA approval on April 5, 2024.
However, the study reported a higher percentage of early deaths in the CARVYKTI® arm, primarily due to adverse events and infections. Other risks include cytokine release syndrome, neurologic toxicities, and secondary malignancies.
Legend Biotech shared promising data on CARVYKTI® (ciltacabtagene autoleucel) for treating multiple myeloma at ASCO and EHA 2024. The CARTITUDE-2 Cohort D study showed a 94% overall response rate and 80% MRD negativity with one-time CARVYKTI® infusion. CARTITUDE-4 analysis revealed CARVYKTI® improved progression-free survival (PFS) vs standard therapy in high-risk patients. The efficacy of CARVYKTI® was consistent across different cytogenetic abnormalities. However, safety concerns including CRS, ICANS, and infections were noted.
These findings support CARVYKTI®'s potential as a new standard of care for high-risk multiple myeloma patients refractory to lenalidomide. Further Phase 3 studies are underway to evaluate CARVYKTI® in earlier treatment settings.
