Legend Biotech (LEGN) highlights CARVYKTI and LUCAR-G39D data at ASH 2025
Rhea-AI Filing Summary
Legend Biotech Corporation reported new clinical data on its CAR-T therapies presented at the 67th American Society of Hematology Annual Meeting in Orlando, Florida. Results from the CARTITUDE-1 and CARTITUDE-4 studies showed that a single infusion of CARVYKTI (ciltacabtagene autoleucel) provided long-term progression free survival benefit for patients with standard-risk relapsed or refractory multiple myeloma. The company also reported that earlier use of CARVYKTI in CARTITUDE-4 was associated with better immune fitness and stronger immune effects.
Beyond multiple myeloma, Legend Biotech highlighted early Phase 1 data for LUCAR-G39D in adults with relapsed or refractory B-cell non-Hodgkin lymphoma. In this ongoing study, LUCAR-G39D showed a manageable safety profile and encouraging antitumor activity, suggesting potential for further development within the company’s novel CAR-T platform.

Insights
ASH data highlight durability for CARVYKTI and early promise for LUCAR-G39D, reinforcing Legend Biotech’s CAR-T oncology pipeline momentum.
The update centers on new data for CARVYKTI from the CARTITUDE-1 and CARTITUDE-4 studies in standard-risk relapsed or refractory multiple myeloma. A single infusion providing long-term progression free survival benefit is important in this setting because durable disease control with one treatment can be clinically meaningful. CARTITUDE-4 also links earlier use of CARVYKTI to better immune fitness and stronger immune effects, which may inform how clinicians think about treatment timing.
Legend Biotech also reported early Phase 1 results for LUCAR-G39D in relapsed or refractory B-cell non-Hodgkin lymphoma. The description of a manageable safety profile and encouraging antitumor activity is typical of promising first-in-human CAR-T findings and supports continued development of this novel platform. Future detailed updates from this ongoing study and from CARTITUDE trials will help clarify how these therapies may fit into treatment landscapes over time.
