Hangzhou, November 29, 2024 – The First Affiliated Hospital of Zhejiang University School of Medicine recently held the clinical launch meeting for an expansion of the investigator-initiated clinical trial (IIT) to include relapsed or refractory indolent B-cell non-Hodgkin lymphoma (r/r B-iNHL) as a new indication for Leman Biotech's metabolically armed CD19 CAR-T therapy, Meta10-19 therapy. The clinical protocol focuses on preparing allogeneic CAR-T cells using fully matched or partially matched donor lymphocytes, aiming to provide more patients with timely and high-quality CAR-T therapy.

Hangzhou, November 28, 2024 - the First Affiliated Hospital of Zhejiang University School of Medicine successfully held the clinical launch meeting to include moderate to severe active systemic lupus erythematosus (SLE) into the investigator-initiated clinical trial (IIT) for the metabolically armed CD19 CAR-T cells (Meta10-19 Injection).

Leman Biotech Co., Ltd. (hereinafter referred to as "Leman Biotech"), a clinical-stage biotechnology company committed to the research, development, production, and commercialization of innovative metabolic immunotherapies, has recently made significant progress in its investigator-initiated trial (IIT) of metabolically armored CD19 CAR-T cell therapy (Meta10-19 infusion). In this IIT study, several patients who had lost mobility or experienced paralysis due to advanced cancer achieved complete response (CR) and successfully regained their ability to walk.

For many years, immunotherapies such as CAR-T cell therapy and immune checkpoint inhibitors have primarily focused on activating type-1 immunity to eliminate cancer cells. In contrast, type-2 immunity, typically known for responding to parasitic infections, has traditionally been viewed as antagonistic to type-1 immunity and, consequently, as a promoter of tumor progression.
