Genxi Bio will announce the latest research results of BCMA/CD19 dual-target CAR-T cell therapy GC012F based on FasTCAR platform in the treatment of relapsed/refractory multiple myeloma at ASCO Annual

Suzhou, China, Palo Alto, California, USA May 20, 2021/PRNewswire/-Genxi Biotechnology Group (NASDAQ: GRCL;; Genxi Bio, a global clinical biopharmaceutical company dedicated to developing efficient and economical cell therapy for cancer treatment, announced today that it will publish the latest clinical research results of a multi-center, first-time human trial on GC012F in the treatment of relapsed/refractory multiple myeloma during the annual meeting of American Society of Clinical Oncology (ASCO) in 2021 and the conference of European Hematology Association (EHA) in 2021.

GC012F is a BCMA/CD19 dual-target autologous CAR-T cell therapy developed based on the patented technology platform of Genxi Bio-FasTCAR, which has the advantage of "production can be completed the next day". At present, the candidate product is being evaluated in a phase I clinical trial initiated by researchers.

  • By January 12, 2021, 19 patients with multiple myeloma were enrolled in the three dose groups of this study, of which the highest dose level was 3×10.fiveCells/kg body weight, all the above patients meet the criteria of recurrence/refractory after multiple rounds of treatment. Subsequent patients (after the release of data at the ASH annual meeting in 2020) received the highest dose level of treatment.
  • The early objective remission rate (ORR) was as high as 94.7%(18/19), and all the responses showed that excellent partial remission (VGPR) and even complete remission (SCR) were obtained. The data of all dose groups showed a rapid, in-depth and lasting therapeutic effect.
  • All patients (n=9) who received treatment in the highest dose group achieved negative minimal residual lesions-complete remission (MRD- sCR) in a strict sense.
  • Of the 19 patients, 18 (94.7%) belonged to the high-risk patients defined in mSMART 3.0 guidelines, and the median number of previous treatment lines was 5.
  • 94.7%(18/19) patients have been exposed to PI, IMiD and at least the third treatment scheme, including anti-CD38 targeted therapy.
  • The safety of GC012F is consistent with the previous observation results, and the main symptom is low-grade cytokine release syndrome (CRS)(84% patients are grade 1/2; 11% (n=2) patients were grade 3), and there was no grade 4 or 5 CRS;. No immune effector cell-related neurotoxicity (ICANS) was observed in 19 patients. Adverse events (TEAEs) occurred during treatment were mainly manifested as decrease of blood cell count and increase of AST. All TEAEs were relieved after standard treatment.
  • The study will continue to evaluate the effectiveness and safety of GC012F in the treatment of patients.

"I am glad to see the mutual evidence between the follow-up of the initial patients and the treatment effect of the subsequent patients, which not only confirms the research results announced at the annual meeting of ASH last year, but also further clarifies the excellent safety and effectiveness of GC012F dual-targeted autologous CAR-T cell therapy, including for high-risk patients."Chief Medical Officer of Genxi BiologydoctorIt said: "High-risk patients are usually extremely difficult to treat, but all patients in the highest dose group in this study have reached the MRD negative sCR state and maintained a deep response for six months or even longer after receiving GC012F infusion. The above exciting research data bring brand-new hope to high-risk patients (including those who do not respond to the standard treatment plan). Next, we plan to promote this research on a global scale, including promoting it as a more preferred treatment option. I look forward to sharing more developments with you in the near future. "

GC012FClinical research initiated by researchers (IIT) Co-principal researcher, Professor Du Fu of shanghai changzheng hospital."Multiple myeloma (MM) is a malignant blood tumor that is extremely difficult to treat. There are about 750,000 patients with multiple myeloma worldwide.[1]There are about 160,000 new patients every year.[2]And it is on the rise year by year. Among them, high-risk patients account for 20%-30%.[3]The prognosis is usually poor, accompanied by higher risk of early recurrence, shorter progression-free survival and overall survival. This time, we are pleased to see that the BCMA/CD19 dual-target autologous CAR-T cell therapy GC012F of Genxi Bio has shown excellent effectiveness and safety for the long-term follow-up results of patients with relapsed/refractory multiple myeloma. And thanks to the advantages of FasTCAR platform, the waiting time of clinical treatment has been significantly shortened, and the hope of life has been ignited for more patients. "

GC012FClinical research initiated by researchers (IIT) Co-principal researcher, Professor Fu Weijun of shanghai changzheng hospital.Said: "I am very happy to see that after we announced the first human trial data of GC012F in the form of oral report at the ASH meeting last year, this research has made positive progress again, and the previous results have been further verified; This also allows us to see the good application prospects of Ganxi Bio-FasTCAR platform and Dual CAR technology. With the deepening of research, the clinical benefits of this innovative BCMA/CD19 dual-targeted autologous CAR-T cell therapy for patients with multiple myeloma, especially high-risk patients, are constantly emerging. It is expected that this research will continue to achieve more results and strive to meet the urgent treatment needs of patients with recurrent/refractory multiple myeloma as soon as possible. "

About multiple myeloma

Multiple myeloma (MM) is the third most common malignant hematological tumor in the United States. Its tumor cells originated from bone marrow plasma cells, an immune cell responsible for secreting anti-infective antibodies. About 160,000 patients worldwide are diagnosed with multiple myeloma every year; In 2020, the United States is expected to have more than 32,000 confirmed patients. In recent years, although many progress has been made in the treatment of multiple myeloma, the clinical treatment effect is still unsatisfactory. International Myeloma Working Group (IMWG) and the consensus guidelines of Mayo ST Rating for Myeloma and Risk-Adapted Therapy (MSMART) classify patients with specific cytogenetic abnormalities or other abnormalities as high-risk patients, and this group accounts for 20-30% of all patients with multiple myeloma. High-risk patients with high risk of early recurrence, progression-free survival and short overall survival are considered as the most difficult patients with multiple myeloma, and usually have poor prognosis.

aboutGC012F

GC012F is a candidate product for dual-target autologous CAR-T therapy based on FasTCAR platform. At present, the candidate product is evaluating its safety and effectiveness in the treatment of multiple myeloma in a multi-center and phase I clinical trial initiated by researchers, covering many research centers in China. GC012F brings rapid, in-depth and lasting therapeutic effects to patients with multiple myeloma by simultaneously targeting the malignant plasma cell site expressing BCMA and the early progenitor cell site expressing CD19.

Prospect of volleyball in Hangzhou Asian Games: China men’s and women’s volleyball teams don’t do "multiple choice" in the face of "devil’s schedule"

Xinhua News Agency, Hangzhou, September 18th (Reporter Lu Xingji): The men’s and women’s volleyball competitions of the upcoming Asian Games in Hangzhou are closely related to the Olympic qualifiers. Some Asian teams who will take part in these two events at the same time have made choices and trade-offs, but the host team, China, is obviously prepared to answer these two "big questions" at the same time.
On September 17th, China players took a group photo after the game. On the same day, China beat Mexico 3-0 in Group A of the Women’s Volleyball Qualifier for the Paris Olympic Games in Ningbo, Zhejiang Province. Xinhua News Agency reporter Zhang Tao photo
The Asian Games in Hangzhou will open on September 23rd, and the men’s volleyball competition will take the lead from September 19th to September 26th. One of the reasons for this arrangement is that the men’s volleyball qualifying tournament for the Paris Olympic Games will start on September 30th. After the Asian Games, China, Iranian and Japanese teams will participate in this event immediately.
As for women’s volleyball team, China, Japanese, Korean and Thai teams are currently participating in the Olympic Qualifying Tournament, and the competition in Group A where China is located will not end until September 24th. From September 30th, the Asian Games will start again, and the connection is not tight.
Due to the rhythm of the adjustment of competitive state, many Asian teams have reservations about the lineup of the Asian Games. Take the Japanese women’s volleyball team as an example, there are five players in the Asian Games lineup who are also on the Olympic qualifying list, but they are mainly second-tier players and have not undertaken heavy competition tasks at present. However, this Japanese women’s volleyball team participating in the Asian Games has many players who have been playing in the international arena for many years, such as Haruki Shimamura and Youjia Muhei. Their experience and competitive level have certain strength, and they are likely to be China’s main rivals for the championship.
In terms of men’s volleyball, similar to women’s volleyball, the Japanese men’s volleyball team did not send the main lineup to participate in the Hangzhou Asian Games, but started a group of players who were in the second line and experienced in international competitions, such as Xishan Daxiang and Gaoli Jiantai. Even so, this Japanese men’s volleyball team is quite competitive among Asian teams.
However, the Iranian men’s volleyball team, which won the titles of the Incheon Asian Games in 2014 and the Jakarta Asian Games in 2018, is the main force this time, aiming to win three consecutive Asian Games titles in one fell swoop.
According to the list of men’s and women’s volleyball teams participating in the Asian Games released by the China Volleyball Association, there is little difference between China’s Asian Games staffing and the lineup participating in the Olympic qualifiers. It can be said that China, as the host, is ready for continuous operations.
In women’s volleyball, China sent four main players: Li Yingying, Wang Yun Peng, Zhong Hui and Wu Mengjie. Three deputy attackers: Yuan Xinyue, Wang Yuanyuan and Gao Yi. Two responders: Gong Xiangyu and Zheng Yixin. Two setters: Diao Linyu and Ding Xia. A free man: Wang Mengjie.

The above lineup is the essence of China Women’s Volleyball Team at present. Compared with the Olympic qualifiers, only one assistant attacker and one free man are reduced. At present, the main players in all positions in this lineup are first-class or even super-class in Asia. For the use of this lineup, head coach Cai Bin is also more handy. In this year’s World Women’s Volleyball League, he led the team to win the runner-up.
At the Asian Games, the China team is likely to have a new point of view in the main attack position. Will Cai Bin use the newcomer Wu Mengjie more in the case of continuous fighting? How will she use the opportunity of this contest to prove herself? Will be a big suspense.
At the Asian Games, China’s elite women’s volleyball team did its best, and the strength of its main rival’s lineup was slightly weak. From the momentum, China team will definitely strive for the championship. But at present, the only and biggest uncertainty is how the players can recover their physical strength and adjust their state in the short gap between the Olympic qualifiers and the Asian Games. This also tests the wisdom of head coach Cai Bin.

"Now is not the time to talk about the Asian Games. At present, all our attention is focused on the Olympic qualifiers, and we must play well one venue at a time." This is Cai Bin’s response to how to adjust the team’s state to cope with the Asian Games.
In men’s volleyball, China sent Zhang Jingyin, Yu Yuantai, Wang Bin, Dai Qingyao, Li Yongzhen, Peng Shikun, Wang Dongchen, Jiang Chuan, Zhang Guanhua, Yu Yaochen, Wang Hebin and Qu Zongshuai. This is also the essence of China Men’s Volleyball Team at present.
On July 9th, China players celebrated the score in the game. On the same day, China lost to the Canadian team 1-3 in the 2023 World Men’s Volleyball League in Pasay, Philippines. Xinhua News Agency (photo by Umali)
China is in the same group as Kyrgyzstan and Kazakstan in the group stage. According to the current strength of China men’s volleyball team and the lineup of other teams, China team is expected to face a certain impact after entering the knockout stage, and must go all out to stand on the stage of semi-finals and even finals.
The Asian Games is only the beginning of China men’s volleyball team’s high-intensity challenge in the near future. How will this team adjust its status and go to Xi ‘an for the men’s volleyball qualifying round of the Paris Olympic Games without stopping? Let’s wait and see!

The World Championship is divided into two stages. In the first stage, the domestic men’s team, the international men’s team, the domestic women’s team and the international women’s team were defeated, resulting in the top 32 men’s teams and the top 16 women’s teams.
The competition in the domestic men’s team is fierce. Zheng Yubo, who aims to win three consecutive World Championships, john young, the champion in 2017, Chu Bingjie, Zhang Jianpeng, Dai Yong, Yu Haitao and other famous players have lost in succession, but they all narrowly missed the top 32. Shi Hanqing, winner of the 2016 tournament, Zheng Xiaohuai, winner of this year’s International Open, Kong Dejing, winner of the International Classic, and Zhang Taiyi, runner-up of the International Grand Prix, were eliminated in poor condition.

Recently exploded! Young people in Hangzhou love to get together here at night! Doctor’s urgent reminder

  Do you think the nightlife of young people may be

  Disco dancing and KTV all night …

  But in fact, the nightlife of contemporary young people is the favorite.

  It’s the Health Bureau!

  Recently in Hangzhou

  Young people have "grasped" a new way to relax.

  Go to the hospital massage department for massage.

  It became something they were keen on punching in.

Recently exploded! Young people in Hangzhou love to get together here at night! Doctor's urgent reminder

  Walk into Zhejiang Traditional Chinese Medicine Hospital and Hangzhou Traditional Chinese Medicine Hospital together.

  Look at the young people having a "party" in the massage clinic

  What kind of experience is it!

  Young people get together and massage ke

  Talking too much is all about "pain, pain"

  Around 18 o’clock, the massage clinic of Zhejiang Provincial Hospital of Traditional Chinese Medicine was almost full, many of them were young faces, and there were young people who had just left work outside. Dr. Ning Xitao said that during the peak period, doctors in departments have to receive more than 30 patients in one night clinic.

Recently exploded! Young people in Hangzhou love to get together here at night! Doctor's urgent reminder

  At this time, the massage doctors in Hangzhou Chinese Medicine Hospital are also busy. "The people who come at night are basically young people." Just after that, Dr. Qiu Zhengjun hung up the traction for the patient and called the next one to lie on the massage bed.

  Why are there so many young people? Many reasons are "pain".

  Ms. Wang, who is doing massage, is 25 years old. Her unit is near the hospital and she will come as soon as she gets off work. Recently, her shoulder and neck hurts badly. She comes to Dr. Qiu for massage and physical therapy every week: "I feel light after pushing for half an hour." She and her colleagues who are engaged in the financial industry are also "frequent visitors" to the Tuina Department. Sometimes they will make an appointment to "open a party" during their lunch break. "Just think of it as a group building."

  The biggest affirmation is the trust of peers. Doctors from the maternity hospital next door to Zhejiang Provincial Hospital of Traditional Chinese Medicine also came to massage during dinner. After a massage for more than ten minutes, he exhaled a "cool"! "There are still several lumbar problems in our department." With that, he put on his shoes and went back to work at night.

  After the "90s", Ms. Huang is a white-collar worker in the company and an "old patient" in the massage department. She comes from work almost every other day, and she also notices that more and more young people come here. "Everyone is here for treatment, not simply for relaxation."

  Doctor’s reminder: treat it rationally

  Massage is not recommended if you have nothing to do.

  The young office workers who come to receive massage treatment at night have a lot of bad cervical vertebrae, and their age is basically between 20 and 40 years old, which shows an obvious trend of rejuvenation.

Recently exploded! Young people in Hangzhou love to get together here at night! Doctor's urgent reminder

  Dr. Qiu from the Municipal Hospital of Traditional Chinese Medicine explained: "Nowadays, young people are facing mobile phones and computers every day. With incorrect posture and no time to exercise, cervical and lumbar problems are getting younger and younger." He said that massage only helps to relieve the pain, and it is important to rely on young people to move themselves.

  Dr. Ning from Provincial Hospital of Traditional Chinese Medicine said that many young people only know that hospitals can also do massage after watching the sharing on social platforms.

  He said: "Three points depend on the rule, seven points depend on the support, mainly relying on their own to get rid of bad habits, and it is not recommended that young people come to massage when they have nothing to do."

  It is worth mentioning that both Zhejiang Provincial Hospital of Traditional Chinese Medicine and Hangzhou Hospital of Traditional Chinese Medicine have massage clinics for children. At night, the clinic is full of children and parents. Different from adult massage which specializes in cervical vertebra and lumbar vertebra, children’s common medical problems can be solved in children’s massage clinic.
