TScan Therapeutics, Inc.
All eight (100%) treatment-arm patients are relapse-free and have achieved and maintained complete donor chimerism following treatment with TSC-100 or TSC-101
Patient with high-risk, TP53-mutated MDS is relapse-free for over one year following treatment with TSC-101
Patient with AML converted from detectable to undetectable disease following treatment with TSC-101
Data presented at TANDEM meeting suggests complete donor chimerism is an early indicator of treatment success
Company to host virtual KOL event today, Monday, February 26, at 8:00 a.m. ET, to discuss the data presented at the 2024 Tandem Meetings
WALTHAM, Mass., Feb. 26, 2024 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- TScan Therapeutics, Inc. (Nasdaq: TCRX), a clinical-stage biopharmaceutical company focused on the development of T cell receptor (TCR)-engineered T cell therapies (TCR-T) for the treatment of patients with cancer, today announced an oral presentation at the 2024 Tandem Meetings: Transplantation & Cellular Therapy Meetings of the American Society for Transplantation and Cellular Therapy (ASTCT®) and the Center for International Blood and Marrow Transplant Research (CIBMTR®). The oral presentation, selected for the plenary session as a Best Abstract, highlights updated data from the Phase 1 multi-arm clinical trial evaluating TSC-100 and TSC-101, designed to treat residual disease and prevent relapse following hematopoietic cell transplantation (HCT) in patients with acute myeloid leukemia (AML), myelodysplastic syndromes (MDS), or acute lymphocytic leukemia (ALL) (NCT05473910).
“We are excited to report updated data from our heme program, with eight patients across our treatment arms and six patients in our control arm. We remain encouraged to see that no relapses have occurred to date in treated patients, four of whom have been on the study for over ten months. One patient with high-risk, TP53-mutated MDS has now reached the one-year mark following treatment with TSC-101, a meaningful milestone as the likelihood of relapse decreases significantly over time, leading to an improved quality of life,” said Debora Barton, M.D., Chief Medical Officer. “We have also enrolled six patients in the control arm, receiving transplant alone. To date, two control-arm patients relapsed following transplant, at days 161 and 180, and one of these patients succumbed to the relapse at day 265. A third patient required clinical intervention at day 133 because of concerns of impending relapse.”
“Sustained complete donor chimerism may be the most valuable indicator of treatment success,” added Gavin MacBeath, Ph.D., Chief Executive Officer. “HCT is currently the best treatment option for many patients suffering from AML, MDS, and ALL, as approximately 60% of patients are cured by this treatment. Unfortunately, roughly 40% of patients relapse following HCT, at which point there are limited treatment options and a poor prognosis. Donor chimerism measures any remaining patient-derived hematopoietic cells that could potentially lead to relapse. We are using a high-sensitivity next-generation sequencing assay to track donor chimerism in all patients in our study. We are encouraged to see that all eight patients treated with our cell therapy products achieved and maintained complete donor chimerism at every time-point, with four of these patients past the 10-month mark. This is a very good sign for these patients, and we look forward to sharing follow-up data, as well as data on additional patients, as the study continues to enroll in 2024.”
The Phase 1 trial is a multi-arm dose escalation study evaluating TSC-100 and TSC-101, which are designed to treat residual disease and prevent relapse following HCT in patients with AML, ALL or MDS undergoing haploidentical donor allogeneic HCT with reduced intensity conditioning. Primary endpoints include safety and dose-finding, and secondary and exploratory endpoints include relapse rates versus standard-of-care (HCT alone) as well as supportive surrogates of efficacy, including donor chimerism and minimal residual disease (MRD). MRD identifies any residual disease-related DNA present in a patient, and chimerism measures any remaining recipient-derived hematopoietic cells in a patient following HCT (NCT05473910).
Key Presentation Highlights Include:
TSC-100 treatment arm (N=4: T-ALL, AML, AML, MDS)
4/4 patients treated with TSC-100 achieved complete donor chimerism with no relapse.
TSC-101 treatment arm (N=4: TP53-mutated MDS, AML, B-ALL, B-ALL)
4/4 patients treated with TSC-101 achieved complete donor chimerism with no relapse, including a patient with high-risk, TP53-mutated MDS who has reached one year of follow-up.
One patient with AML was MRD-positive following HCT and converted to and maintained MRD-negative status following treatment with TSC-101 (most recent measurement at day 180).
TSC-100 and TSC-101 persistence noted for prolonged periods:
Persistence of TSC-100 and TSC-101 was observed at all time points after dosing, with the longest follow-up of over 9 months.
Repeat dosing (dose levels 2 and 3) led to a 3-fold increase in circulating TSC-100 and TSC-101 levels compared to single dosing (dose level 1) at the same time points.
Six control arm patients (MDS, MDS, MDS, AML, AML, AML) have been enrolled and received standard of care HCT alone:
One control-arm patient with high-risk, TP53-mutated MDS evolved with MRD positivity and worsening mixed chimerism, experienced clinical relapse approximately six months post-transplant, and succumbed to relapse approximately nine months post-transplant.
One control-arm patient with MDS experienced clinical relapse approximately five months post-transplant.
One control-arm patient with MDS developed worsening mixed chimerism requiring early termination of immunosuppression, resulting in complete donor chimerism but with grade 1 skin graft-versus-host disease.
One control-arm patient never achieved complete donor chimerism, with more than four months follow-up post-transplant.
2/6 control-arm patients achieved complete donor chimerism following HCT.

Question: Given the results published thus far on the TSC-100 / TSC-101 trial, and knowing this is second line treatment post HCT, as per the approved trial NCT05473910;
When would TSC-100 / TSC-101 go into a first line treatment scenario trial?
Is that even possible in the current trial or would a new trial (IND) need to be initiated / approved.
When analysing the donor chimerism data on the February Presentation - slide 14 and additional abstract results...
https://ir.tscan.com/static-files/1d066354-1ed3-4f4f-b97b-28806d9da9f5
...it demonstrates imo, that TSC-100 / TSC-101 should be first line treatment.
Just my opinion....
predict RMAT / BTD soon ( by end of February 2024, imo)

Very interesting read.
imho,
... a masterpiece.
Thank you for posting and congratulations to all the authors, investigators, and TScan mgmt.
All the best to the TScan team at the Tandem meetings.
(OT) TScan-II: A genome-scale platform for the de novo identification of CD4+ T cell epitopes https://www.cell.com/cell/fulltext/S0092-8674(23)01175-3
They developed a platform to enable high-throughput identification of CD4+ T-cell epitopes. This enables screens to discover antigens recognised by CD4+ T-cells in cancer, infectious diseases, and autoimmunity.
I'm getting back to your question ( even though you are asking jd), because imo, the public reporting on TCRX have missed a critical detail and/or TCRX management may have not been clear enough. I'm referencing the press release of January 23 2023 here:
https://ih.advfn.com/stock-market/NASDAQ/tscan-therapeutics-TCRX/stock-news/90036699/tscan-gets-fda-clearance-for-three-investigational
TScan Gets FDA Clearance for Three Investigational New Drug Apps
TScan Therapeutics Inc. said Monday that the Food and Drug Administration has cleared its investigational new drug applications for T-Plex, TSC-204-A0201 and TSC-204-C0702.
The Massachusetts-based clinical-stage biopharmaceutical company said T-Plex would now be the primary investigational new drug and TSC-204-A021 and TSC-204-C0702 the secondary investigational new drugs for its solid-tumor program.
The company said T-Plex allows patients to customize combinations of T-cell receptor-engineered T-cell therapies (TCR-T), chosen from its proprietary bank of TCRs, to treat cancers based on their specific markers. TSC-204-A0201 and TSC-204-C0702 target cancers associated with melanoma-associated antigen-1, a cancer-associated antigen overexpressed in head, neck, melanoma, cervical, and non-small cell lung cancers.
A Phase-1 clinical trial with a screening protocol expected to begin in the second quarter would assess repeat-dosing of TCR-Ts, and a secondary investigational new drug application would be filed for each unique TCR-T referencing the T-Plex application, TScan said.
The trial would evaluate each TCR-T as a singleplex therapy at two successive dose levels, the company said. Once single-agent safety is established, each TCR would become eligible for multiplexing, or combining it with any other TCR that has passed this threshold, the company said.
The above press release, imo is not clear, especially with the headline reading " TScan Gets FDA Clearance for Three Investigational New Drug Apps"
It may be 3 apps, but only 2 studies.
1. Screening protocol study as the primary investigational new drug application: ( imo, this is where TScan technology of Target Scan / Receptor Scan / Safety Scan - is utilized for patient eligibility and prevent off targets, which is a concern of the FDA.)
This study, imo is the all important starting point for a patient prior to entering any of the additional treatment trials, and maps their oncologous condition - not sure if that is the right term,
https://classic.clinicaltrials.gov/ct2/history/NCT05812027?A=1&B=11&C=merged#StudyPageTop
"Brief Summary: TScan Therapeutics is developing cellular therapies across multiple solid tumors in which autologous participant-derived T cells are engineered to express a T cell receptor that recognizes cancer-associated antigens presented on specific human leukocyte antigen Human Leukocyte Antigen (HLA) molecules. The purpose of this screening study is to collect samples to conduct HLA genotyping, HLA LOH Loss of Heterozygosity (LOH) and expression of tumor antigens Tumor-associated Antigens (TAA) testing. These results will be used to determine if subjects meet the eligibility criteria for these parameters and could potentially be enrolled in a TScan clinical treatment study.
Detailed Description: This multicenter screening study will be conducted to determine a subject's tumor antigen expression profile, HLA genotype and HLA LOH for TScan sponsored clinical treatment study(s). No treatment intervention will occur as part of this screening study.
Subjects will be required to provide a buccal swab to assess their HLA status. If they are positive for certain types of HLA, they will return for a subsequent visit to provide a saliva sample to assess HLA loss of heterozygosity. In parallel, archival tissue (less than 6 months old) will be needed to assess for tumor antigen expression. If archival tissue is older than six months, a fresh tumor biopsy will be required at the time of the second visit.
If eligible, subjects will be referred to appropriate available interventional trial(s) at the discretion of the Investigator.
2. TSC-204-A0201 / TSC-204-C0702
https://classic.clinicaltrials.gov/ct2/history/NCT05973487?A=1&B=5&C=merged#StudyPageTop
Brief Summary: TScan Therapeutics is developing cellular therapies across multiple solid tumors in which autologous participant-derived T cells are engineered to express a T cell receptor that recognizes cancer-associated antigens presented on specific Human Leukocyte Antigen (HLA) molecules.
This is a multi-center, non-randomized, multi-arm, open-label, basket study evaluating the safety and preliminary efficacy of single and repeat dose regimens of TCR'Ts as monotherapies and as T-Plex combinations after lymphodepleting chemotherapy in participants with locally advanced, metastatic solid tumors disease.
Detailed Description: Participants will be screened in a separate screening study, TSCAN-003 (NCT05812027), to assess their HLA type, tumor-associated antigen (TAA) expression and loss of heterozygosity (LOH) status. The results of these tests will be used to determine initial eligibility in this study.
Depending on the genetic type, participants will be assigned to one of the following study groups:
( imo, the dosage part you are asking about is one of the experimental aspects of the trials, the eligibility is related to the above 2 studies.)
All imo.

TScan Therapeutics, Inc.
Reported positive initial data from Phase 1 heme program at the 65th American Society of Hematology (ASH) Annual Meeting
Clearance of INDs for four TCR-Ts, including a TCR-T for PRAME, in support of use of multiple TCRs in combination for the solid tumor clinical trial
Entered a collaboration with Amgen to identify novel targets in Crohn’s Disease
Closed underwritten public offering with net proceeds of $140.6 million, funding operations into 2026
WALTHAM, Mass., Jan. 04, 2024 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- TScan Therapeutics, Inc. (Nasdaq: TCRX), a clinical-stage biopharmaceutical company focused on the development of T cell receptor (TCR)-engineered T cell therapies (TCR-T) for the treatment of patients with cancer, today announced its 2024 clinical pipeline plans and highlighted recent corporate achievements.
“2023 was a pivotal year for TScan, most recently marked by the Phase 1 heme malignancies data presented at the ASH Annual Meeting on six treatment arm patients and four control arm patients. We are encouraged to see complete donor chimerism and MRD negativity achieved and maintained in all six treated patients, with a median follow-up of over six months,” said Gavin MacBeath, Ph.D., Chief Executive Officer. “Over the course of the year we also continued to build our ImmunoBank for the treatment of solid tumors. We have now cleared INDs for four TCRs, including TCRs for PRAME, HPV16, and MAGE-A1, and have regulatory clearance to treat patients with multiple TCRs sequentially in our Phase 1 study. Additionally, we submitted INDs for two additional TCRs in December and the 30-day review period with the FDA is ongoing. We look forward to dosing the first patient in the Phase 1 solid tumor clinical study in the first quarter and reporting clinical data, initially on patients treated with singleplexed therapy, and then on patients treated with multiplexed therapy, in 2024.”
“The data from our heme program presented at ASH is a true testament to the progress we made over the past year. We have now enrolled and dosed patients up to the third and final dose level with no DLTs observed to date and no safety signals thus far, indicating that the third dose level will likely be the recommended Phase 2 dose,” added Debora Barton, M.D., Chief Medical Officer. “We plan to activate additional sites and provide clinical updates at major medical meetings throughout the year. Upon establishing the recommended Phase 2 dose, we plan to open expansion cohorts at that dose to further characterize safety and evaluate translational and efficacy endpoints.”
2023 Key Achievements and Recent Company Highlights
Heme Malignancies Program: TScan’s two lead TCR-T cell therapy candidates, TSC-100 and TSC-101, are designed to treat residual disease and prevent relapse in patients with acute myeloid leukemia (AML), acute lymphocytic leukemia (ALL), or myelodysplastic syndromes (MDS) undergoing hematopoietic cell transplantation (HCT) (NCT05473910).
Recently presented initial Phase 1 clinical results at the 65th American Society of Hematology (ASH) Annual Meeting. Highlights from the poster included:
No relapses have occurred in six of six treatment-arm patients, four with follow-up past six months; one of four control-arm patients relapsed at six months and two others required clinical intervention for increasing mixed chimerism.
No patient-derived hematopoietic cells were detected in six of six treatment-arm patients, indicating complete elimination of target cells, versus zero of four control-arm patients.
An AML patient with detectable disease post-transplant converted to no detectable disease following treatment with TSC-101.
Patients were enrolled up to the third and final dose level in both treatment arms with no dose limiting toxicities.
Solid Tumor Program: TScan continues to build the ImmunoBank, a collection of therapeutic TCRs that target different cancer-associated antigens presented on diverse HLA types. TScan’s strategy is to treat patients with multiple TCR-Ts sequentially to overcome tumor heterogeneity and prevent resistance that may arise from either target or HLA loss (screening protocol: NCT05812027) (treatment protocol: NCT05973487).
Continued to build the ImmunoBank with U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) clearance of five investigational new drug applications (INDs):
T-Plex IND supports the sequential use of multiple TCRs to deliver customized, multiplexed TCR-T cell therapies based on target and HLA expression.
TSC-200-A0201 targets HPV16 on HLA type A*02:01.
TSC-203-A0201 targets PReferentially expressed Antigen in MElanoma (PRAME) on HLA type A*02:01.
TSC-204-A0201 and TSC-204-C0702 target melanoma-associated antigen 1 (MAGE-A1) on HLA types A*02:01 and C*07:02, respectively.
Filed INDs in December 2023 for TSC-201-B0702 targeting melanoma-associated antigen C2 (MAGE-C2) on HLA type B*07:02 and TSC-204-A0101 targeting MAGE-A1 on HLA type A*01:01; 30-day review period ongoing.
Presented six posters at the Society for Immunotherapy of Cancer (SITC) 38th Annual Meeting. Notable highlights include TScan’s solid tumor Phase 1 trial design supporting a separate screening protocol to identify patients ahead of disease progression, and the disclosure of the previously undisclosed target of TSC-201-B0702 as MAGE-C2.
Corporate and Financial Highlights:
Appointed Gavin MacBeath, Ph.D., as Chief Executive Officer and as a member of the Board of Directors.
Appointed Justin McCue, Ph.D., as Chief Technology Officer.
Appointed Barbara Klencke, M.D., and R. Keith Woods to the Board of Directors.
Entered into a collaboration with Amgen to identify novel targets in Crohn’s Disease. TScan received $30 million upfront and is eligible to earn over $500 million in success-based milestones as well as tiered single-digit royalty payments.
Closed underwritten public offering with gross proceeds of $140.6 million, funding operations into 2026.
TScan named as a Top Place to Work for two consecutive years by The Boston Globe.
Upcoming Anticipated Milestones
Heme Malignancies Program:
Plans to complete Phase 1 dosing and report clinical and translational data in 2024, and two-year relapse data in 2025.
Plans to open expansion cohorts at the recommended Phase 2 dose level to further characterize safety and evaluate translational and efficacy endpoints.
Expects to initiate registration trial in 2025.
Solid Tumor Program:
Initiated Phase 1 solid tumor clinical study and expects to dose the first patient in the first quarter of 2024.
Expects to report initial multiplexed therapy data for its first combinations of TCR-Ts under T-Plex, as well as response data for singleplex cohorts, in 2024.
Plans to continue to build ImmunoBank with additional IND filings throughout 2024.
Long-term duration data for multiplexed therapy anticipated in 2025.
Likely due to expression. While it has been reported in a wide range of tumour types, most show heterogeneous expression, with only myxoid and round cell liposarcomas and synovial sarcomas having the most homogenous expression. The market for each being small.
Ignore last message. Looks like TCR T is good for cold tumor like SS. No wonder IMCR engager failed in OV.
Thanks. Why pts lacking actionable genetic aberrations were tested? No LD? The trial was destined to fail.
Not that I'm aware. I know of a PhI/II (n=20) IIT testing an auto MAGE-C2 TCR-T in melanoma and H&N cancers with valproic acid and azacytidine https://journals.aai.org/jimmunol/article/197/6/2541/106100/MAGE-C2-Specific-TCRs-Combined-with-Epigenetic

WALTHAM, Mass., Dec. 09, 2023 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- TScan Therapeutics, Inc. (Nasdaq: TCRX), a clinical-stage biopharmaceutical company focused on the development of T cell receptor (TCR)-engineered T cell therapies (TCR-T) for the treatment of patients with cancer, today announced a poster presentation at the 65th American Society of Hematology (ASH) Annual Meeting and Exposition. The poster highlights initial data from the Phase 1 multi-arm clinical trial evaluating TSC-100 and TSC-101, which are designed to treat residual disease and prevent relapse following hematopoietic cell transplantation (HCT) in patients with acute myeloid leukemia (AML), myelodysplastic syndromes (MDS), or acute lymphocytic leukemia (ALL) (NCT05473910).
“We are excited to present initial clinical data in our heme program, with six patients in our treatment arms and four patients in our control arm. Complete donor chimerism and MRD negativity, two favorable indicators of treatment success, were achieved and maintained in all six treated patients, four of whom have been on the study for over six months. In contrast, these indicators were not achieved in any of the four control-arm patients. In addition, one of the control-arm patients relapsed at six months, and two other control-arm patients required clinical intervention due to worsening chimerism, a sign of potential future relapse,” said Debora Barton, M.D., Chief Medical Officer. “We have now enrolled and dosed patients up to the third and final dose level with no DLTs observed to date and no safety signals thus far, indicating that the third dose level will likely be the recommended Phase 2 dose. After establishing the recommended Phase 2 dose, we plan to open expansion cohorts at that dose to further characterize safety and evaluate translational and efficacy endpoints. There are currently 10 active clinical sites, and additional sites are in the process of being activated to participate in these expansion cohorts.”
“Hematopoietic cell transplantation is currently the best treatment option for many patients suffering from AML, MDS, and ALL, as approximately 60% of patients are cured by this procedure,” said Gavin MacBeath, Ph.D., Chief Executive Officer. “Unfortunately, for patients who relapse following transplantation, the prognosis is very poor. We have designed TSC-100 and TSC-101 to address this unmet need and increase the success rate of transplantation. We are very encouraged by these early data as they indicate that our therapies are working as designed. The translational data show that our cell therapies are eliminating all residual patient-derived malignant, pre-malignant, and benign cells, which are the cells that drive relapse. We are grateful to all the patients and their families who are participating in this trial and look forward to sharing more data in 2024 as the study continues to enroll.”
The Phase 1 trial is a multi-arm dose escalation study evaluating TSC-100, TSC-101, or HCT alone in patients with AML, ALL or MDS undergoing haploidentical allogeneic HCT with reduced intensity conditioning. Patients enrolled in Dose Level 1 receive a single dose of either TSC-100 or TSC-101 approximately 21 days post-transplant. Patients enrolled in Dose Level 2 receive the same dose of TSC-100 or TSC-101 approximately 21 days post-transplant, followed by a second dose administered 40 days after the initial dose. For patients in Dose Level 3, the second dose is escalated four-fold. Primary endpoints include safety and dose-finding, and secondary and exploratory endpoints include relapse rates versus standard-of-care as well as qualitative biological readouts, including MRD and donor chimerism. MRD specifically measures malignant cells, to identify any residual disease present in a patient, and donor chimerism measures a combination of malignant, pre-malignant and normal cells, measuring any remaining patient-derived hematopoietic cells.
Key Poster Highlights:
TSC-100 treatment arm (N=3 T-ALL, AML, AML)
3/3 patients treated with TSC-100 achieved complete donor chimerism and MRD negativity.
TSC-101 treatment arm (N=3 TP53 mutated MDS, AML, B-ALL)
3/3 patients treated with TSC-101 achieved complete donor chimerism and MRD negativity, including a TP53-mutated MDS patient who remained with no detectable disease for over seven months post-HCT.
One patient with AML was MRD-positive following HCT and converted to MRD-negative following treatment with TSC-101.
Four control arm patients (MDS, MDS, TP53-mutated MDS, AML) have been enrolled and received standard of care HCT alone:
One TP53-mutated MDS control-arm patient evolved with MRD positivity and worsening mixed chimerism, finally experiencing disease relapse approximately six months after transplantation.
Two MDS control-arm patients developed worsening mixed chimerism that prompted early withdrawal of immunosuppression, which was complicated by grade 1 or grade 3 skin graft-vs-host disease.
0/4 of the control-arm patients achieved and maintained complete donor chimerism.
Higher sensitivity assays used to detect the activity of T cells:
Donor chimerism detected by high-sensitivity next-generation sequencing assay (AlloHeme) with limit of detection 0.13%.
MRD detected by next-generation sequencing with limit of detection of 0.05-0.1%.
