LOS ANGELES, CA, May 22, 2025 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Immix Biopharma, Inc. (“ImmixBio”, “Company”, “We” or “Us” or ”IMMX”), a clinical-stage biopharmaceutical company developing cell therapies for AL Amyloidosis and other serious diseases, today announced publication of cell therapy NXC-201 Abstract #7508, selected for oral presentation at the 2025 American Society of Clinical Oncology Annual Meeting (ASCO 2025) being held in Chicago, Illinois. The abstract summarizes positive results from the U.S. multi-site NEXICART-2 trial evaluating NXC-201 in relapsed/refractory AL Amyloidosis with a data cutoff of January 28, 2025.

On June 3, 2025 Heather Landau, MD of Memorial Sloan-Kettering Cancer Center in New York will present further updated results at ASCO oral presentation in Chicago, IL. A Key Opinion Leader (KOL) event to discuss the significance will be held Tuesday, June 3, 2025 3:00pm ET with live Q&A (register here to participate).

“We are beyond thrilled with the strength of these results. I believe these results could transform the paradigm of relapsed/refractory AL Amyloidosis treatment,” said Ilya Rachman, MD, PhD, Chief Executive Officer of Immix Biopharma. Gabriel Morris, Chief Financial Officer of Immix Biopharma, added, “Recent NXC-201 FDA RMAT designation and ASCO interim readout demonstrate our progress toward completion of NEXICART-2 enrollment and BLA submission.”

Immix’s Phase 1/2 NEXICART-2 clinical trial is a U.S. multi-site, single-arm study to evaluate the efficacy and safety of NXC-201 in patients who are refractory to, or relapse on treatment for relapsed/refractory AL Amyloidosis.

ASCO Abstract Results
Prior to NXC-201 treatment, the median lines of therapy was 4 (range: 2-9).  All patients had baseline relapsed/refractory AL Amyloidosis organ involvement.  After NXC-201 treatment, all patients normalized pathological disease markers. Complete responses (CRs) were observed in 71% (5 out of 7) of patients treated with NXC-201. The remaining 2 patients are bone marrow minimum residual disease (MRD) negative (10 -6 ), predicting future CR (Immix believes remaining two MRD negative (10 -6 ) patients could be confirmed as CRs in the coming weeks and months). Downstream clinical improvement, including cardiac and renal organ responses, were recorded after CRs. There have been no relapses recorded to-date and no safety signals identified. No neurotoxicity has been observed.  Only low-grade cytokine release syndrome has been observed, lasting less than 24 hours. The ASCO abstract contains clinical data as of January 28, 2025.

Current treatments typically result in a lower than 10% complete response (CR) rate in relapsed/refractory AL Amyloidosis according to Zanwar, et al 2024, indicating a high unmet medical need.

Updated NXC-201 results with a later data cutoff, including endpoint analysis, will be presented on June 3, 2025 by lead investigator Heather Landau, MD, of Memorial Sloan Kettering Cancer Center:

About NEXICART-2
NEXICART-2 (NCT06097832) is an ongoing single-arm multi-site U.S. Phase 1/2 clinical trial of sterically-optimized CAR-T NXC-201 in relapsed/refractory AL Amyloidosis. NEXICART-2 is expected to enroll 40 patients with preserved heart function (excluding patients with pre-existing heart failure) who have not been exposed to prior BCMA-targeted therapy. The primary endpoint of the Phase 1 portion is safety. The primary endpoint of the Phase 2 portion is efficacy.

About NXC-201
NXC-201 is a sterically-optimized BCMA-targeted chimeric antigen receptor T (CAR-T) cell therapy with a “digital filter” that filters out non-specific activation. Initial data from ex-U.S. study NEXICART-1 has demonstrated high complete response rates in relapsed/refractory AL Amyloidosis. U.S. Phase 1/2 study NEXICART-2 is ongoing. NXC-201 has been awarded Regenerative Medicine Advanced Therapy (RMAT) by the FDA, and Orphan Drug Designation (ODD) by the US FDA and in the EU by the EMA.

About AL Amyloidosis
AL amyloidosis is caused by abnormal plasma cells in the bone marrow, which produce misfolded amyloid proteins that circulate in the blood, then build-up in the heart, kidney, liver, and other organs. This build-up causes progressive and widespread organ damage, including heart and renal failure, leading to high mortality rates.

The U.S. observed prevalence of relapsed/refractory AL Amyloidosis is estimated to be growing at 12% per year according to Staron, et al Blood Cancer Journal, to approximately 33,277 patients in 2024.

The Amyloidosis market was $3.6 billion in 2017, and is expected to reach $6 billion in 2025, according to Grand View Research.
