AstraZeneca's Dual-Target CAR-T Therapy Shows Promise in Multiple Myeloma
AstraZeneca has reported promising results from its dual-target CAR-T therapy, AZD0120, for treating multiple myeloma. The therapy, which targets both BCMA and CD19, demonstrated a high objective response rate of 96% in a phase 1b/2 trial. The study, conducted in the U.S., showed that AZD0120 was well-tolerated, with no severe adverse events reported. The therapy is based on Gracell's FasTCAR platform, allowing for rapid manufacturing. These results were presented at the American Society of Hematology congress, highlighting the potential of AZD0120 as an effective treatment option.
