Imugene Ltd Reports Second Complete Response in BTKi Cohort [VIDEO]

Imugene's azer-cel has now recorded two complete responses from two evaluable patients in its BTKi cohort — including the first Mantle Cell Lymphoma patient treated — targeting a US$12 billion market where resistance to standard therapy leaves patients with almost nowhere left to turn.

Key Takeaways

  • Both evaluable patients in Imugene's concurrent BTKi cohort have achieved complete responses at Day 28, including the first Mantle Cell Lymphoma patient treated in the study — a 100% CR rate in a heavily pre-treated population.
  • Azer-cel is an off-the-shelf allogeneic CAR T therapy targeting CD19, deployable within days compared to the three-to-six-week manufacturing window required for autologous alternatives.
  • The BTKi cohort targets patients who have already failed BTK inhibitor therapy — a growing population within a US$12.0 billion global BTKi market where resistance leaves patients with limited remaining options.
  • Enrolment is active across ten US sites and five Australian sites, with Imugene indicating further data updates will be provided as the dataset matures but providing no specific timelines.
  • The broader azer-cel Phase 1b basket program has previously reported a 100% ORR in CLL/SLL and 80% ORR in MZL, providing clinical context for the BTKi cohort's early complete response results.
