Abstract

356 Background: Autologous anti-claudin 18.2 (CLDN18.2) CAR T cell, satricabtagene autoleucel (satri-cel), was developed to treat solid tumors. We report the completed results of the Phase 1b ELIMYN18.2 study (Cohort A) in gastric/gastroesophageal junction (GC/GEJ) and pancreatic cancer (PC). Methods: This single-arm, open-label, Phase 1b/2 study (NCT04404595) evaluated the safety and efficacy of satri-cel in patients with CLDN18.2-positive advanced GC/GEJ or PC. Cohort A consisted of a modified 3+3 design. After a conditioning regimen of fludarabine, cyclophosphamide, and nab-paclitaxel, patients were administered 1-3 cycles of satri-cel. The primary objectives were safety and determination of the recommended Phase 2 dose (RP2D). Adverse Events (AEs) were graded per CTCAE 5.0, objective response rate (ORR), and clinical benefit rate (CBR) including CR, PR, and ≥6-month SD were assessed by the investigator per RECIST 1.1. Results: As of May 14, 2023, twenty-four patients underwent leukapheresis in Cohort A. Nineteen patients (7 GC/GEJ and 12 PC) with a median of 3 (range: 1-8) prior therapeutic lines had satri-cel at three dose levels (DLs) between 250×106 and 600×106 cells. Seven patients received a 2nd dose and two patients received a 3rd dose of satri-cel at a median of 113 and 259 days, respectively, post-first infusion. All 19 patients experienced at least one AE. No DLTs occurred and 17 patients experienced cytokine release syndrome (CRS). Two cases of Grade 3 CRS were…

How strong is the evidence?

Evidence Hub reads this as a cohort study, done in people. Its evidence level is 3 of 5 (Moderate · trial / cohort / secondary analysis). Trials without a large randomized design, cohorts and secondary analyses give moderate evidence. Reported size: 19 participants or records.

How the five levels of evidence work. The level is assigned automatically from the abstract and can be wrong, so check the paper.
