The small Chinese trial whose startling response rates at ASCO 2017 drew Johnson and Johnson to Legend Biotech and became the myeloma CAR-T Carvykti.
57 patients treated at Xi'an Jiaotong University's Second Affiliated Hospital (Journal of Hematology and Oncology 2018): objective response 88%, complete response 68%, median progression-free survival 15 months, manageable cytokine release syndrome; a further 17 patients were treated at three other sites. Presented at ASCO 2017 by Fan Xiaohu and Zhao Wanhong, it led to the December 2017 Janssen collaboration ($350 million upfront) and to CARTITUDE-1, FDA approval as ciltacabtagene autoleucel in 2022 and NMPA approval in 2024. The clearest case of a Chinese academic-industry cell therapy becoming a global standard.
