TC Biopharm reports first patient remission in Cohort B after TCB008 treatment
TC BioPharm announced the first patient treated in Cohort B, presenting with detectable Minimal Residual Disease, or MRD, is now in complete molecular remission following treatment with the lead drug candidate TCB008. The response was achieved after the patient's second dose of 250,000,000 gamma delta t-cells, two weeks after treatment began, in total the patient received approximately 500,000,000 gamma delta t-cells over two weeks. The patient received 2 of a possible 4 infusions of TCB008 and continues to be monitored under the care of Dr. Hugues de Lavallade at Guy's and St. Thomas' NHS Foundation Trust and remains in remission state two months after treatment. This data readout represents a major milestone in TC BioPharm's mission to develop innovative cell therapies that target and eradicate malignant cells with precision and durability. Over 1 million patients are diagnosed with blood cancers globally each year. Patients who initially achieve remission can retain a molecular burden of disease that results in relapse. Multiple factors, including previous treatments, limit treatment options for relapsed patients.
