Research abstract
ABSTRACT
In this application, we propose to optimize the feasibility of Mustang Bio's propriety MB-106 and its impact on B-
cell Non-Hodgkin's Lymphoma (NHL) and Chronic Lymphatic Lymphoma (CLL) patients and determine an
optimal dosage for patients with relapsed or refractory CD20+ B-cell NHL or CLL.
While the current courses of molecular targeted therapies have resulted in prolonged remissions, to date there
is no curative therapeutic for NHL and CLL cancers. Therefore, an innovative approach is needed for an
individualized and specific therapy that can persist past remission dates. CAR T cell therapy such as proposed
here, is a cellular immunotherapy that uses adoptive T-cells expressing a chimeric antigen receptor specific to
targeting tumor-associated B- cell antigens. The methodology proposed is highly individualized, as each product
is manufactured individually for each patient.
In this Direct to Phase 2 clinical trial, MB-106 will be tested for efficacy, safety, and determine the optimal dosage
for patients. Proposed is an open-label interventional, non-randomized adoptive T-cell immunotherapy study to
broaden the understanding the impact of MB-106 in blood, bone marrow, and other sites of disease measured
by cytokine levels post infusion. At the conclusion of this project, the recommended dosage of MB-106 for
patients will be determined and will be used as the basis for treatment in future clinical trials and ultimate clinical
use.
