In the pivotal CARTITUDE-1 study, patients treated with ciltacabtagene autoleucel demonstrated an ORR of 98% (95/97 95% CI: 92.7-99.7),a an sCR of 78% (76/97 95% CI: 68.8-86.1),ab a VGPR of 17% (16/97 95% CI: 9.7-25.4),a and a PR of 3% (3/97 95% CI: 0.6-8.8).a The mDOR was 21.8 months (95% CI: 21.8-NE).1

CI=confidence interval; NE=not estimable; ORR=overall response rate; PR=partial response; sCR=stringent complete response; VGPR=very good partial response.

aBased on a median duration of follow-up of 18 months.

Efficacy Study design

Pivotal CARTITUDE-1 Study1-3

Phase 1b/2, open-label, multicenter trial of 97 adult patients with relapsed or refractory multiple myelomaa

Primary objectives

PHASE 1B

Characterize safety and confirm Phase 2 dose

PHASE 2

Evaluate efficacy:

  • ORR (primary endpoint)
  • sCR, CR, VGPR, DOR, TTR, TT≥CR, MRD-, PFS, OS (select secondary endpoints)
  • The median time from leukapheresis to product availability was 32 days (range, 27-66 days)
  • Of the 97 patients, 17 patients (18%) received ciltacabtagene autoleucel with manufacturing failures either because the product did not meet product release specifications or there were insufficient data to confirm the product release specifications for CARVYKTI®

CAR=chimeric antigen receptor; CR-complete response; DOR=duration of response; MRD=minimal residual disease negativity; ORR=overall response rate; OS=overall survival; PFS=progression free survival; sCR=stringent complete response; TT≥CR=time to complete response or better; TTR=time to response; VGPR=very good partial response.

aSee key eligibility criteria below.

bOne patient received retreatment with ciltacabtagene autoleucel.
