Meta 10 Technology
Leman Biotech's Metabolic Reprogramming Technology (Meta 10) is an innovative approach to combatting T-cell exhaustion. Preclinical studies shown its ability to activate the oxidative phosphorylation metabolism in terminally exhausted T cells, restoring their proliferative potential and cytotoxic activity. Promising preclinical results include tumor clearance in various mouse models and induction of stem-like immune memory cells. Leman Biotech has launched investigator initiated clinical trial for metabolically armed CD19 CAR-T therapy (Meta10-19 CAR-T) for patients with relapsed/refractory diffuse large B-cell lymphoma (r/r DLBCL) and acute B-lymphoblastic leukemia (r/r B-ALL) in early 2023. All patients treated with Meta 10-19 CAR-T have shown complete responses at a low dose, with minimal side effects. These findings underscore Meta 10's immense clinical potential.
