In adult patients with R/R B-cell precursor ALL
TECARTUS® provided deep and durable responses in ZUMA-31,2
Primary analysis: 65% overall complete remission rate (CR + CRi) and 52% CR rate with TECARTUS at a median study follow-up of 12.3 months1,3
Pinch to zoom
- TECARTUS provided high OCR rates, including patients who were R/R following prior treatment with blinatumomab (OCR rate=56%; n=14/25) or inotuzumab ozogamicin (OCR rate=67%; n=8/12), patients who previously relapsed following allo-SCT (OCR rate=70%; n=16/23), and patients who had primary refractory disease (OCR rate=72%; n=13/18)2
Leukapheresis to CR in <3 months2
- Median time from leukapheresis to CR: 2.7 months (range: 1.77, 4.04 months)
97% of patients who achieved CR/CRi (n=34/35) were MRD-negative2
- MRD-negativity rate (10−4 sensitivity) was a secondary endpoint of the ZUMA-3 trial.4 The MRD assay used in this trial has not been analytically validated in accordance with the FDA guidance “Hematologic Malignancies: Regulatory Considerations for Use of Minimal Residual Disease in Development of Drug and Biological Products for Treatment Guidance for Industry” issued in 2020. These data are not included in the TECARTUS USPI and should be carefully interpreted as further validation of the assay is needed5

3-year analysis (median follow-up: 38.7 months): TECARTUS provided a median DOR of 18.6 months2,3
- DOR was a secondary endpoint of the ZUMA-3 phase 2, single-arm, open-label study1,4
- DOR data are descriptive and should be carefully interpreted in light of the single-arm study design. DOR data from the 3-year analysis are not included in the USPI
- 3-year follow-up analysis was conducted in the 54 efficacy-evaluable patients treated with TECARTUS in the ZUMA-3 study2,3

Primary analysis1
- In the primary analysis (median study follow-up: 12.3 months), mDOR was 13.6 months in both efficacy-evaluable patients (n=54; 95% CI: 9.4, NE) and in all leukapheresed patients (n=71; 95% CI: 8.7, NE)
- Median DOR was not reached in patients with a CR (95% CI: 9.6, NE) in efficacy-evaluable patients (n=54) and was 13.6 months (95% CI: 9.4, NE) in all leukapheresed patients (n=71)
- Median DOR was 8.7 months in patients with a CRi (95% CI: 1.0, NE) in both efficacy-evaluable patients (n=54) and all leukapheresed patients (n=71)
*In this analysis, patients were censored for the following reasons: allo-SCT, ongoing remission, started a new anti-cancer therapy, lost to follow-up, and withdrawal of consent.2
3-year analysis: patients achieved 20.8 months mDOR without censoring for subsequent allo-SCT2

- DOR was a secondary endpoint of the ZUMA-3 phase 2, single-arm, open-label study1,4
- DOR data are descriptive and should be carefully interpreted in light of the single-arm study design
- The study was not designed to assess efficacy of subsequent allo-SCT or to make comparisons between TECARTUS and allo-SCT as no head-to-head trial has been conducted
- 74% of patients (n=26/35) did not receive allo-SCT following treatment with TECARTUS2
