World’s Lowest Profile Drug-Eluting Stent Systems with the Lowest Rate of 1 Year Reintervention Reported in a U.S. Pivotal Study Now Approved for Use in U.S. Patients

NEW PROVIDENCE, N.J. — (BUSINESS WIRE) — Svelte Medical Systems received U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) approval to commercialize the SLENDER IDS^® fixed-wire and DIRECT RX^® rapid-exchange drug-eluting stent (DES) systems for the treatment of coronary artery disease in the U.S. SLENDER IDS^® and DIRECT RX^®, incorporating the same specialized stent, bioresorbable drug coating and balloon technologies, achieved 1.5% clinically-driven Target Lesion Revascularization (TLR) at 1 year in the OPTIMIZE Investigational Device Exemption (IDE) clinical study, the lowest ever reported with an investigational DES.

 

“SLENDER IDS^® and DIRECT RX^® are extremely low profile, highly deliverable DES systems that provide excellent early and long-term clinical outcomes in complex patient populations. SLENDER IDS^® uses a unique DES delivery platform while both systems incorporate a novel drug carrier and other technologies which I believe will add value in the treatment of patients in the U.S.,” said Dean Kereiakes, M.D., F.A.C.C., President of The Christ Hospital Heart & Vascular Institute in Cincinnati, Ohio, Clinical Professor of Medicine, The Ohio State University and co-principal investigator of the OPTIMIZE study.

 

SLENDER IDS^®, an ‘all-in-one’ integrated delivery system featuring Asahi guide wire technology, and DIRECT RX^®, a workhorse rapid-exchange delivery system, are low profile DES systems designed to enhance trans-radial intervention (TRI) and indicated by the FDA for use with direct stenting.

 

“Materially lower system and crossing profiles facilitate TRI, which, when combined with a direct stenting approach in appropriate clinical indications, streamline procedures, limit complications and enhance patient experience,” added Sunil Rao, M.D., F.A.C.C., Professor of Medicine at Duke University in Durham, North Carolina and co-principal investigator of the OPTIMIZE study. “TRI has been long regarded as the standard of care overseas. With its increased adoption and use in the majority of cases recently in the U.S., approval of these products is very timely. I am excited to integrate them into my practice.”

 

Direct stenting was undertaken in 30% of OPTIMIZE subjects, with 96% device success rates observed. Eighty percent of study subjects were treated via TRI. In addition to strong procedural and clinical outcomes, investigators with prior experience direct stenting with SLENDER IDS^® in Europe realized significant reductions in radiation exposure and procedure, device and fluoroscopy times, compared with direct stenting using control DES.

 

“OPTIMIZE was a unique study – the first of its kind to evaluate a new mode of DES delivery, a new class of drug coating, direct stenting and TRI. This not only generated outstanding data on investigational device performance, but also helped identify discrepancies between study definitions and assessments of myocardial infarction in clinical studies, which will help areas of future clinical research. We commend FDA for its timely and clear communications, understanding of technical and complex subject matter and true collaboration throughout the review process,” said Jack Darby, President and CEO of Svelte Medical Systems. “We thank all OPTIMIZE investigators for their contribution to the study and look forward to our newly approved DES systems delivering unmatched value to all constituents of cardiac care in the United States – patients, physicians, providers and payers.”

• Updated CARTITUDE-1 data presented at ASH 2021 demonstrate a 98 percent overall response rate and 83 percent stringent complete response rate after nearly two years of follow-up

• CARTITUDE-1 study data also reported 2-year progression-free survival and overall survival rates were 61 and 74 percent, respectively

• New results from CARTITUDE-2 study of cilta-cel in earlier lines of treatment were also presented at ASH, including first data from Cohort B and longer-term data from Cohort A

 

SOMERSET, N.J. — (BUSINESS WIRE) — $LEGN–Legend Biotech Corporation (NASDAQ: LEGN) (Legend Biotech), a global, clinical-stage biotechnology company developing and manufacturing novel therapies, announced today new and updated results from the CARTITUDE clinical development program studying ciltacabtagene autoleucel (cilta-cel) in the treatment of multiple myeloma, which were presented at the 63^rd American Society of Hematology (ASH) Annual Meeting and Exposition. Cilta-cel is an investigational B-cell maturation antigen (BCMA)-directed chimeric antigen receptor T cell (CAR-T) therapy being studied as a one-time treatment for multiple myeloma.

CARTITUDE-1 Data Continues to Support the Potential of Cilta-cel

In an oral presentation (Abstract #549), longer-term results from the Phase 1b/2 CARTITUDE-1 study in 97 patients with relapsed or refractory multiple myeloma (RRMM) continued to show a very high overall response rate (ORR) of 98 percent. After 21.7 months of follow-up, 83 percent of patients treated with cilta-cel achieved a stringent complete response (sCR)—higher than the 67 percent sCR rate reported at a median of ~1 year of follow up.¹ Further, 95 percent of patients achieved a very good partial response (VGPR) or better. Median progression-free survival (PFS) and median overall survival (OS) have not been reached, but the 2-year PFS rate was 61 percent (95 percent Confidence Interval [CI], 48.5–70.4) and the 2-year OS rate was 74 percent (95 percent CI, 61.9–82.7). Of the 61 patients evaluable for minimal residual disease (MRD), 92 percent were MRD-negative at the 10^-5 cutoff threshold. The two-year PFS rates in patients with sustained MRD negativity for ≥6 and ≥12 months were 91 percent (95 percent CI, 67.1–97.8) and 100 percent, respectively.

 

The median time to first response was one month (range, 0.9-10.7); the median time to best response was 2.6 months (range, 0.9-17.8); and the median time to complete response or better was 2.9 months (range, 0.9-17.8).¹ The longer-term data showed no new safety signals and there were no new events of cilta-cel-related neurotoxicity or movement and neurocognitive treatment emergent adverse events (TEAEs) (MNT) reported since the median ~1 year follow-up. Implementation of MNT mitigation measures has decreased the incidence rate to 0.5 percent in the CARTITUDE clinical development program.

In the 18-month follow-up data previously presented at ASCO 2021, the most common hematologic adverse events (AEs) observed were neutropenia (96 percent); anemia (81 percent); thrombocytopenia (79 percent); leukopenia (62 percent); and lymphopenia (53 percent).² At 18 months, cytokine release syndrome (CRS) of any grade was observed in 95 percent of patients with a median duration of four days (range, 1-97), and median time to onset of seven days (range, 1-12). Of the 92 patients with CRS, 95 percent experienced Grade 1/2 events and CRS resolved in 91 patients (99 percent) within 14 days of onset. Neurotoxicity of any grade was observed in 21 percent (n=20) of patients, with Grade 3 or higher neurotoxicity observed in 10 percent (n=10) of patients.

 

“Patients with heavily pre-treated multiple myeloma often have exhausted available treatment options and face poor prognoses. The updated results from the CARTITUDE-1 trial continue to suggest that cilta-cel may provide this patient population with lasting deep and durable responses,” said Thomas Martin, M.D., director of clinical research, clinical professor of medicine, Adult Leukemia and Bone Marrow Transplantation Program, interim Division Chief, co-director, Myeloma Program and co-leader, Hematopoietic Malignancies Program, at UCSF Helen Diller Family Comprehensive Cancer Center, and principal study investigator. “As a one-time infusion that shows potential to improve long-term survival and offer patients a break in ongoing treatments, cilta-cel may offer hope to patients, caregivers and physicians.”

 

In a subgroup analysis of CARTITUDE-1 (Abstract #3938), responses to cilta-cel were durable up to 2 years in most subgroups of patients with heavily pretreated RRMM.³ An ORR range of 95 to 100 percent was observed in patients across all subgroups, including those with high-risk cytogenetics, International Staging System (ISS) stage III, baseline bone marrow cells ≥60 percent, and presence of baseline plasmacytomas. In patients with ISS stage III, high risk cytogenetics and with baseline plasmacytomas, median duration of response, 2-year PFS and OS appeared lower. The cilta-cel safety profile across the subgroups was consistent with the overall population, with no new safety signals.

 

Additionally, an adjusted indirect comparison of CARTITUDE-1 patient outcomes relative to standard-of-care therapies in real-world clinical practice (RWCP) was also featured in an oral presentation (Abstract #550).⁴ The adjusted comparisons versus CARTITUDE-1 demonstrate a significantly improved ORR, complete response or better (≥CR), VGPR or better (≥VGPR), PFS and OS for the patients receiving cilta-cel compared to a diverse set of RWCP. Although patients treated with cilta-cel experienced more adverse events (AEs), including Grade 3/4 events, as compared to RWCP, overall safety profile was manageable.

 

CARTITUDE-2 Data Explores Use of Cilta-cel in Earlier-Line MM Settings

The Phase 2 multicohort CARTITUDE-2 study is evaluating cilta-cel safety and efficacy in various clinical settings for patients with multiple myeloma. Updated data from Cohort A of the study examined the efficacy and safety of cilta-cel in 20 patients with progressive multiple myeloma after 1-3 prior lines of therapy and who are lenalidomide-refractory (Abstract #3866).⁵ At a longer median follow-up of 14.3 months, patients experienced early and deep responses with a manageable safety profile consistent with the CARTITUDE-1 study. ORR was 95 percent, which included 85 percent of patients achieving CR or better and 90 percent achieving VGPR or better. The median time to first response was one month (range, 0.7-3.3) and the median time to best response was 2.6 months (range, 0.9-7.9). The 6-month and 12-month PFS rates were 95 percent (95 percent CI, 69.5-99.3) and 84 percent (95 percent CI, 59.1-94.7), respectively. Of the 13 patients with MRD evaluable samples at the 10^-5 cutoff threshold, 92 percent (95 percent CI, 64.0-99.8) were MRD negative.

The first data from Cohort B was also presented at ASH 2021 (Abstract #2910).⁶ Cohort B included 19 patients who were in early relapse after initial therapy that included a proteasome inhibitor (PI) and immunomodulatory drug (IMiD). Data showed early and deep responses with a manageable safety profile. At a median follow-up of 10.6 months, ORR was 95 percent, which included 79 percent of patients achieving CR or better and 90 percent of patients achieving VGPR or better. The median time to first response was one month (range, 0.9-2.6) and the median time to best response was 2.5 months (range, 0.9-11.8). The 6-month and 12-month PFS rates were 90 percent (95 percent CI, 64.1-97.3) and 84 percent (95 percent CI, 57.9-94.5), respectively. Of the 13 patients with MRD evaluable samples at the 10^-5 cutoff threshold, 92 percent (95 percent CI, 64.0-99.8) were MRD-negative.

 

The safety profile seen in CARTITUDE-2 Cohorts A and B were consistent with data previously reported from CARTITUDE-1. CRS occurred in 95 percent of patients in Cohort A and 84 percent of patients in Cohort B, which were mostly grades 1/2 with median time to onset of 7-8 days and median duration of ~4 days.

 

“The new and updated longer-term data for CARTITUDE-1 and Cohorts A and B of CARTITUDE-2 shows that responses continue to be deep and durable over time and illustrate the potential of cilta-cel to provide a new treatment option for those patients that need it the most,” said Ying Huang, PhD, CEO and CFO of Legend Biotech. “We are excited to continue to present these strong efficacy and safety results as we work toward the first regulatory approval for cilta-cel and from our robust cell therapy pipeline.”

 

About CARTITUDE-1

CARTITUDE-1 (NCT03548207) is a Phase 1b/2, open-label, multicenter study evaluating the safety and efficacy of cilta-cel in adults with relapsed and/or refractory with multiple myeloma who have received at least 3 prior lines of therapy or are double refractory to a proteasome inhibitor (PI) and immunomodulatory drug (IMiD), received a PI, an IMiD, and anti-CD38 antibody and documented disease progression within 12 months of starting the most recent therapy. The primary objective of the Phase 1b portion of the study was to characterize the safety and confirm the recommended Phase 2 dose of cilta-cel, informed by the first-in-human study with LCAR-B38M CAR-T cells (LEGEND-2). The Phase 2 portion further evaluated the efficacy of cilta-cel with overall response rate as the primary endpoint.

 

About CARTITUDE-2

CARTITUDE-2 (NCT04133636) is an ongoing Phase 2 multicohort study evaluating the safety and efficacy of cilta-cel in various clinical settings. Cohort A included patients who had progressive multiple myeloma after 1–3 prior lines of therapy, including PI and IMiD, were lenalidomide refractory, and had no prior exposure to BCMA-targeting agents. Cohort B included patients with early relapse after initial therapy that included a PI and IMiD. The primary objective was percentage of patients with negative minimal residual disease (MRD).

About LocoMMotion

LocoMMotion (NCT04035226) is a prospective non-interventional study evaluating the safety and efficacy of real-life standard-of-care treatments under routine clinical practice over a 24-month period in patients with RRMM. This study aims to understand the effectiveness of current standards of care in heavily pretreated patients with RRMM (reflecting real-world practice in the patient population progressing after PIs, IMiDs and anti-CD38 antibodies).

 

About Multiple Myeloma

Multiple myeloma is an incurable blood cancer that starts in the bone marrow and is characterized by an excessive proliferation of plasma cells.⁷ Although treatment may result in remission, unfortunately, patients will most likely relapse.⁸ Relapsed myeloma is when the disease has returned after a period of initial, partial or complete remission and does not meet the definition of being refractory.⁹ Refractory multiple myeloma is when a patient’s disease is non-responsive or progresses within 60 days of their last therapy.^10,11 While some patients with multiple myeloma have no symptoms at all, most patients are diagnosed due to symptoms that can include bone problems, low blood counts, calcium elevation, kidney problems or infections.¹² Patients who relapse after treatment with standard therapies, including protease inhibitors and immunomodulatory agents, have poor prognoses and few treatment options available.¹³

 

About Cilta-cel

Cilta-cel is an investigational chimeric antigen receptor T cell (CAR-T) therapy, formerly identified as JNJ-4528 in the United States and Europe and LCAR-B38M CAR-T cells in China, that is being studied in a comprehensive clinical development program for the treatment of patients with relapsed or refractory multiple myeloma and in earlier lines of treatment. The design consists of a structurally differentiated CAR-T with two BCMA-targeting single domain antibodies. In December 2017, Legend Biotech, Inc. entered into an exclusive worldwide license and collaboration agreement with Janssen Biotech, Inc. (Janssen) to develop and commercialize cilta-cel. In addition to a Breakthrough Therapy Designation (BTD) granted in the United States in December 2019, cilta-cel received a Priority Medicines (PRiME) designation from the European Commission in April 2019, and a BTD in China in August 2020. In addition, Orphan Drug Designation was granted for cilta-cel by the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) in February 2019, and by the European Commission in February 2020. A Biologics License Application seeking approval of cilta-cel was submitted to the U.S. FDA and a Marketing Authorization Application was submitted to the European Medicines Agency.

WARNING: SUICIDALITY AND ANTIDEPRESSANT DRUGS Antidepressants increased the risk compared to placebo of suicidal thinking and behavior (suicidality) in children, adolescents, and young adults in short-term studies of Major Depressive Disorder (MDD) and other psychiatric disorders. Anyone considering the use of venlafaxine extended-release tablets or any other antidepressant in a child, adolescent, or young adult must balance this risk with the clinical need. Short-term studies did not show an increase in the risk of suicidality with antidepressants compared to placebo in adults beyond age 24; there was a reduction in risk with antidepressants compared to placebo in adults aged 65 and older. Depression and certain other psychiatric disorders are themselves associated with increases in the risk of suicide. Patients of all ages who are started on antidepressant therapy should be monitored appropriately and observed closely for clinical worsening, suicidality, or unusual changes in behavior. Families and caregivers should be advised of the need for close observation and communication with the prescriber. Venlafaxine extended-release tablets are not approved for use in pediatric patients.
