Gamida Cell Ltd. (Nasdaq: GMDA), the leader in the development of NAM-enabled cell therapy candidates for patients with hematological and solid cancers and other serious diseases, today announced an oral presentation of a real-world analysis comparing the effectiveness of omidubicel to other allo-HCT donor sources from the Center for International Blood and Marrow Transplant Research (CIBMTR) database. These data are being presented at the 64th American Society of Hematology (ASH) Annual Meeting, which is being held in New Orleans from December 10-13, 2022.

“Data from our phase 3 study compared the safety and efficacy of omidubicel to standard cord blood. We are delighted to have the opportunity, in a podium presentation at ASH, to share the work we have done with CIBMTR, exploring their expansive real-world database and performing the first comparative efficacy analyses between omidubicel and other donor sources for patients undergoing allogeneic stem cell transplant,” said Ronit Simantov, M.D., Chief Medical and Scientific Officer of Gamida Cell. “These data reinforce the clinical relevance of the rapid time to neutrophil engraftment observed in patients transplanted with omidubicel, and support the potential use of omidubicel in patients with hematologic malignancies requiring transplant. We are diligently preparing to bring this important therapy to patients upon potential FDA approval.”

Details about the ASH presentation are as follows:

Title: Clinical Outcomes Following Allogeneic Hematopoietic Cell Transplantation with Omidubicel or Other Donor Sources in Patients with Hematologic Malignancies: Comparison of Clinical Trial Results to Center for International Blood and Marrow Transplant Research Database Controls
Session Title: 732. Allogeneic Transplantation: Disease Response and Comparative Treatment Studies: Clinical Outcome: Real World Studies Based on Database Analyses
Lead Author: Smitha Sivaraman, PhD.
Time: Saturday, December 10, 2022, 2:00 p.m. – 3:30 p.m. EST (session time) and 2:30 p.m. EST (presentation time)
Location: Ernest N. Morial Convention Center, 391 – 392

A prospective cohort analysis study to compare the effectiveness of omidubicel versus other allo-HCT donor sources (MUD, MMUD and haploidentical) used in clinical practice is being presented. The study compared data from the omidubicel (n=52) and control arms (n=56) of the phase 3 study with a cohort of similar patients derived from the CIBMTR database (n = 807) who had undergone transplant with matched unrelated donors, mismatched unrelated donors, or haploidentical donors. The analysis showed that omidubicel was associated with more rapid neutrophil recovery (median: 10 days) compared to all other donor sources (median 15-20 days; p<0.001). While platelet recovery took longer in the omidubicel cohort, rates of severe acute and chronic graft versus host disease (GVHD) were comparable. Importantly, analyses of non-relapse mortality, disease-free survival, and overall survival showed similar results among all donor sources. While the phase 3 study compared omidubicel to standard cord blood, these real-world data reinforce the clinical utility of omidubicel as a graft source in patients in need of an allogeneic stem cell transplant.
