[{"type":"text","content":"Lead site Memorial Sloan Kettering Cancer Center (MSKCC)Timing of milestone in-line with mid-2024 guidanceData from ex-US clinical trial reported at ASGCT 2024 showed a 92% overall response rate LOS ANGELES, July 08, 2024 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Immix Biopharma, Inc. (“ImmixBio”, “Company”, “We” or “Us”, “IMMX”) (Nasdaq: IMMX), a clinical-stage biopharmaceutical company trailblazing cell therapies in AL Amyloidosis and autoimmune disease, today announced that the 1st patient has been dosed at MSKCC in its U.S. NEXICART-2 trial with NXC-201, a sterically-optimized BCMA-targeted CAR-T cell therapy. The NEXICART-2 study is intended to evaluate the safety and efficacy of NXC-201 in relapsed/refractory AL Amyloidosis patients with adequate cardiac function who have not been exposed to prior BCMA-targeted therapy. The study builds on positive data from the initial ex-U.S. study, NEXICART-1, presented at the 27th Annual Meeting of The American Society of Gene and Cell Therapy (ASGCT 2024) which showed a 92% overall response rate in relapsed/refractory AL Amyloidosis patients (12/13). The best responder experienced a 28.0 month duration of response (as reported May 10, 2024, with ongoing follow-up). “I am excited to initiate the only CAR-T clinical trial currently recruiting for AL Amyloidosis patients that have progressed on front-line daratumumab (DARZALEX)-combination therapy,” said Heather Landau, MD, Memorial Sloan Kettering Cancer Center Amyloidosis Program Director and NEXICART-2 principal study investigator. “A one-time therapy such as NXC-201 would provide an attractive option for AL Amyloidosis patients and clinicians. There are no approved drugs for relapsed/refractory AL Amyloidosis today.” “We believe initiation of the U.S. NEXICART-2 study is an important advancement in AL Amyloidosis. NXC-201 has the potential to become a first-in-class safe and durably-effective therapy for patients with relapsed/refractory AL Amyloidosis. We are humbled by the enthusiasm across the U.S. AL Amyloidosis community and look forward to robust enrollment for NEXICART-2,” said Ilya Rachman, M.D., Ph.D., Chief Executive Officer of Immix Biopharma. Gabriel Morris, Chief Financial Officer of Immix Biopharma, added, “Dosing of the first patient in line with our mid-2024 guidance is a testament to the stellar execution of our extraordinary team and par...
