Data from an October 7, 2025 cutoff date, including 117 patients treated with anito-cel, who were followed for a median of 15.9 months, showed an independent review committee (IRC)-assessed overall response rate (ORR) of 96%, with 74% achieving a stringent complete response or complete response (sCR or CR) per International Myeloma Working Group (IMWG) criteria. 102 of 117 patients (87%) were triple refractory, 48 of 117 patients (41%) were penta refractory, 21 of 117 patients (18%) had extramedullary disease, and 47 of 117 patients (40%) had high risk cytogenetics. For many in this heavily pre-treated population, responses began quickly, often within one month. Median time to best response was 4.8 months and median time to sCR or CR was 3.2 months. Of the 96 patients evaluable for minimal residual disease (MRD) testing, 91 (95%) achieved MRD negativity at a median time of 1 month, meaning no cancer cells could be detected even with highly sensitive tests (≤10-5 sensitivity).

The progression-free survival (PFS) rates were 82.1% at 12 months, 67.4% at 18 months and 61.7% at 24 months, meaning many patients were still alive and free from cancer progression at those timepoints. The overall survival (OS) rates showed that a significant majority of patients remained alive, with 94% at 12 months, 88% at 18 months and 83% at 24 months. The median PFS and OS have not yet been reached, suggesting sustained and ongoing benefit for a majority of patients.

Importantly, no delayed (non-ICANS) neurotoxicities, including no Parkinsonism, no cranial nerve palsies, no Guillain-Barré syndrome, and no immune effector cell-associated enterocolitis, have been observed to date, with all patients dosed at least 12 months prior to the cutoff. In an exploratory study sponsored by Kite (Abstract #503), characterization of CD4+ CAR T cell subtypes provide further mechanistic hypotheses supporting the neurologic tolerability profile of anito-cel.
