Author: Benzinga Newsdesk | February 21, 2024 10:39am

Immix Biopharma, Inc. (NASDAQ:IMMX), a clinical-stage biopharmaceutical company trailblazing cell therapies in autoimmune disease, today announced its 12-month progress update including shareholder letter.

 

"The past 12 months have seen landmark achievements for Immix Biopharma, cementing our position as a leading cell therapy company in autoimmune disease. We successfully received U.S. FDA investigational new drug clearance for NXC-201. NXC-201 is the only CAR-T in AL Amyloidosis and is expanding into additional autoimmune indications, a $25 billion combined annual market segment, where limited treatments are available today. At the 65th American Society of Hematology (ASH) annual meeting in December 2023, we presented clinical data from additional NXC-201 patients enrolled in our ongoing NEXICART-1 clinical trial, totaling 73 NXC-201 patients dosed to-date, demonstrating 100% and 95% overall response rates in relapsed/refractory AL Amyloidosis patients and relapsed/refractory multiple myeloma patients, respectively. We received U.S. FDA Orphan Drug Designation in both AL Amyloidosis and multiple myeloma, as well as EU Orphan Drug Designation for AL Amyloidosis. NXC-201 is the first and only ‘Single-Day CRS‘ CAR-T, a critical advancement for autoimmune diseases like AL Amyloidosis," said Ilya Rachman, MD PhD CEO Immix Biopharma. Gabriel Morris, CFO Immix Biopharma, added, "In the next 12 months, we plan to continue our approximately quarterly clinical data updates, presenting at premier academic forums, finalize the selection of our next autoimmune indication, and to dose U.S. patients with NXC-201. We are in an exciting position as the premier autoimmune CAR-T company with a robust clinical dataset. Top-tier U.S. clinical sites are currently being activated for NXC-201 dosing."
