If approved, afami-cel will be the first engineered T-cell therapy for solid tumors and the first effective treatment option for synovial sarcoma in more than a decade
Philadelphia, Pennsylvania and Oxford, United Kingdom--(Newsfile Corp. - January 31, 2024) - Adaptimmune Therapeutics plc (NASDAQ: ADAP), a company redefining the treatment of solid tumor cancers with cell therapy, today announced that the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) has accepted for priority review its Biologics License Application (BLA) for afami-cel, an investigational engineered T-cell therapy for advanced synovial sarcoma. The application has a Prescription Drug User Fee Act (PDUFA) target action date of August 4, 2024.
Adrian Rawcliffe, Adaptimmune's Chief Executive Officer: “The FDA’s acceptance of the BLA submission brings us one step closer to redefining treatment for people with synovial sarcoma. Our franchise has great potential and, if approved, we have the capabilities and the capital to launch afami-cel - the first engineered T-cell therapy on the market for a solid tumor cancer.”
Dennis Williams, PharmD, Senior VP of Late-Stage Development: "Historic outcomes are poor for advanced synovial sarcoma, with low objective response rates for second-line therapies and overall survival of less than 12 months for people who have received two or more prior lines of therapy. In clinical trials, afami-cel has demonstrated an impressive response rate of ~39% among heavily pre-treated patients with advanced synovial sarcoma and about a 17-month median survival. This regulatory milestone is a testament to our teams' relentless work to deliver a novel treatment option to more people diagnosed with synovial sarcoma."
This acceptance is supported by positive data from Cohort 1 of the pivotal trial SPEARHEAD-1, which met its primary endpoint for efficacy. Data from the trial were presented at the Connective Tissue Oncology Society (CTOS) 2023 Annual Meeting.
