Item 8.01

Other Events.

On June 14, 2024, the Company issued the Press Release reporting positive initial clinical data from each of the first two patients dosed with CABA-201 in the Phase 1/2 RESET-Myositis and RESET-SLE trials. These data were presented today at 8:15 a.m. CEST (2:15 a.m. ET) at a EULAR European Congress of Rheumatology 2024 Industry Symposia session titled “Immune Reset: The Potential of CAR T Cell Therapy to Transform the Treatment of Patients with Autoimmune Disease” in Vienna, Austria.

Cabaletta designed CABA-201, a 4-1BB-containing fully human CD19-CAR T cell investigational therapy, to deeply and transiently deplete CD19-positive B cells following a one-time infusion that may enable a reset of the immune system with the potential for durable remission without chronic therapy in patients with autoimmune diseases. Cabaletta is advancing four Phase 1/2 RESET trials evaluating CABA-201 within a total of ten cohorts with six patients in each cohort. All cohorts are evaluating the same single, weight-based dose of 1 x 106 cells/kg, following a preconditioning regimen of fludarabine and cyclophosphamide consistent with the dosing regimen used in the academic experience, without a dose escalation requirement.

As of May 28, 2024, the data cut-off date, one patient treated in the immune-mediated necrotizing myopathy (IMNM) cohort in the RESET-Myositis trial had completed three months of follow-up and one patient enrolled in the systemic lupus erythematosus (SLE) non-renal cohort in the RESET-SLE trial had completed one month of follow-up. The patient with IMNM is a 33-year-old male with a two-year history of disease, positive for anti-SRP antibody and who had prior disease-specific therapy that included IVIg, rituximab, methotrexate and glucocorticoids. The patient with SLE is a 26-year-old male with a six-year history of disease, positive for anti-dsDNA antibody and who had prior disease specific therapy that included cyclophosphamide, voclosporin, belimumab, tacrolimus, mycophenolate mofetil, hydroxychloroquine and glucocorticoids. Both patients were administered a one-time infusion of CABA-201 at 1 x 106 cells/kg, following a preconditioning regimen of fludarabine and cyclophosphamide. The primary endpoint of each trial is safety and tolerability within 28 days of infusion. Secondary endpoints include translational assessments and clinical outcomes.


Initial Clinical Data Summary

Safety and Tolerability

 

 

   

CABA-201 was administered during a four-day hospital stay, as currently required by the protocol, and was generally well-tolerated with no serious adverse events reported for either patient through the follow-up period.

 

   

No evidence of cytokine release syndrome (CRS) or immune effector cell-associated neurotoxicity syndrome (ICANS) of any grade was observed for either patient through the follow-up period. Tocilizumab was not administered for either patient.

 

   

No infections were observed for either patient through the follow-up period.

 

   

All chronic maintenance therapy or concomitant medications were discontinued for both patients through the follow-up period, other than a planned prednisone taper for the SLE patient.

Clinical and Translational Profile

 

   

Complete B cell depletion was observed within 15 days post-infusion with CABA-201 in both patients. Both patients had early, transient leukopenia, as expected with the preconditioning regimen.

 

   

CAR T cell expansion associated with CABA-201 reached its peak magnitude at day 15 post-infusion in both patients and the magnitude of expansion was consistent with the academic experience with a similar 4-1BB CD19-CAR T construct.

 

   

At week 12 of follow-up for the IMNM patient, the data show a decline in creatinine kinase from 617 at infusion to 308 and a total improvement score (TIS) of 30, which is consistent with the clinically meaningful improvement seen in the academic experience of a similar 4-1BB CD19-CAR T construct that also recently reported data from an IMNM patient.

 

   

At week 4 of follow-up for the SLE patient, the data demonstrated an improvement in the SLEDAI-2K (systemic lupus erythematosus disease activity index) score from 26 at baseline to 10.

 

   

B cell repopulation was observed in the IMNM patient at week 8 with immature, naïve B cell phenotypes as demonstrated by flow cytometry, suggesting potential immune system reset with confirmatory analyses ongoing.

About the RESET-Myositis Trial

The RESET-Myositis trial is a Phase 1/2 open-label study of CABA-201 in subjects with active idiopathic inflammatory myopathy (IIM, or myositis), including the subtypes of dermatomyositis (DM), anti-synthetase syndrome (ASyS), immune-mediated necrotizing myopathy (IMNM) and juvenile myositis (JM), each evaluated in individual cohorts. Subjects will receive a one-time infusion of CABA-201 at a dose of 1 x 106 cells/kg, following a preconditioning regimen of fludarabine and cyclophosphamide. Key inclusion criteria for the DM, ASyS and IMNM cohorts include patients between ages 18 to 75 (inclusive), evidence of active disease and disease activity despite prior or current treatment with standard of care treatments. Key exclusion criteria for the DM, ASyS and IMNM cohorts include cancer-associated myositis, significant lung or cardiac impairment, treatment with a B cell depleting agent within the prior approximately six months or treatment with a biologic agent within the prior approximately three months.

About the RESET-SLE Trial

The RESET-SLE trial is a Phase 1/2 open-label study of CABA-201 in subjects with systemic lupus erythematosus (SLE) and lupus nephritis (LN), each evaluated in individual cohorts. Subjects will receive a one-time infusion of CABA-201 at a dose of 1 x 106 cells/kg, following a preconditioning regimen of fludarabine and cyclophosphamide. Key inclusion criteria include patients between ages 18 to 65 (inclusive), evidence of active disease and disease activity despite prior or current treatment with standard of care treatments. Key exclusion criteria include treatment with a B cell depleting agent within the prior approximately six months or treatment with a biologic agent within the prior approximately three months.

Current & Investigational Treatments for Patients with Autoimmune Diseases


Slide 8

Broad immunosuppression and chronic administration often required to achieve partial, transient responses Current therapies for autoimmunity do not achieve drug-free remission (Hematopoietic stem cell transplant has been shown to be curative in systemic sclerosis but has increased mortality in the first year6) There is a need for durable, effective and safe therapies that reestablish immune tolerance to eliminate the need for long-term therapy5,6 Khoo T, et al. Nat Rev Rheumatol. 2023;19(11):695-712. Octapharma. Accessed June 10, 2024. Hoover PJ, Costenbader KH. Kidney Int. 2016;90(3):487-92. High Unmet Clinical Need in SLE & Myositis Potential for life-threatening complications ~40% of patients with SLE develop LN3,4 ~25% risk of death or ESRD within 10y Incomplete responses despite chronic therapy High mortality due to lung & cardiac involvement1 Only FDA & EMA-approved therapy is IVIg in DM2 Many patients remain refractory to standard of care therapies – particularly high unmet need in IMNM1 Lupus Current Therapies in Autoimmunity Broad immunosuppression Modest & inconsistent clinical responses Chronic therapy requirements Hahn BH, et al. Arthritis Care Res (Hoboken). 2012; 64(6): 797–808. Rosenblum MD, et al. Sci Transl Med. 2012;4(125):125sr1. Swart J, et al. Nat Rev Rheumatol. 2017;13:244-256. Myositis


Slide 9

Potential for treatment paradigm to evolve in autoimmunity CAR T therapy has the potential to provide drug-free, durable & reliable responses Promising clinical responses reported in 15 patients with an academic 4-1BB CD19-CAR T1-3 100% Clinical responses in SLE, myositis, SSc off immunosuppressive therapies 2+ years SLE drug-free remission with single infusion of CD19-CAR T3 Within 7 months Repopulation of naïve B cells post-infusion <7% Rate of CRS more severe than fever (1/15) Rate of ICANS (1/15) What are the clinical outcomes with autologous 4-1BB CD19-CAR T cell therapy? CRS – Cytokine release syndrome; ICANS – Immune effector cell-associated neurotoxicity syndrome Müller, Fabian, et al. "CD19 CAR T-Cell Therapy in Autoimmune Disease—A Case Series with Follow-up." New England Journal of Medicine 390.8 (2024): 687-700. The construct utilized in these studies has a similar design to CABA-201, sharing the 4-1BB costimulatory domain, but is a different construct. It has been publicly reported that one idiopathic inflammatory myopathy subject in this academic study had a reoccurrence of disease following ~18 months of clinical remission.​ How is CAR T cell therapy designed to reset the immune system? A ‘living drug’ potentially enabling complete B cell depletion in the blood, tissues, lymph nodes & secondary lymphoid organs While autologous CD19-CAR T has potential to deliver drug-free, durable & reliable responses, multiple other therapeutic modalities may find a role within the future treatment paradigm

PHILADELPHIA, June 14, 2024 – Cabaletta Bio, Inc. (Nasdaq: CABA), a clinical-stage biotechnology company focused on developing and launching the first curative targeted cell therapies designed specifically for patients with autoimmune diseases, today reported positive initial clinical data from each of the first two patients dosed with CABA-201 in the Phase 1/2 RESET-Myositis and RESET-SLE trials. These data will be presented today at 8:15 a.m. CEST (2:15 a.m. ET) at a EULAR European Congress of Rheumatology 2024 Industry Symposia session titled “Immune Reset: The Potential of CAR T Cell Therapy to Transform the Treatment of Patients with Autoimmune Disease” in Vienna, Austria. Slides from the presentation can be found on the company’s website here.

“We are encouraged by the initial safety, clinical and translational data from the RESET-Myositis and RESET-SLE trials which we believe provide important early validation regarding the potential of the selected clinical dose of CABA-201 to enable an immune system reset for patients with autoimmune diseases. By demonstrating a potentially well-tolerated safety profile along with initial clinical and translational data consistent with the academic experience of a similar 4-1BB CD19-CAR T construct, we believe CABA-201 may be uniquely positioned to fulfill unmet patient needs across a broad range of autoimmune diseases,” said David J. Chang, M.D., Chief Medical Officer of Cabaletta. “With the RESET-SSc and RESET-MG trials recently opening for enrollment, an additional cohort evaluating patients with juvenile myositis incorporated into the RESET-Myositis trial and the momentum provided by the promising early clinical data, we are looking forward to accelerating clinical trial enrollment in the RESET clinical program. We continue to expect to report initial clinical data from the Phase 1/2 RESET-SSc and RESET-MG trials as well as additional data from the RESET-Myositis and RESET-SLE trials in the second half of this year.”


Cabaletta designed CABA-201, a 4-1BB-containing fully human CD19-CAR T cell investigational therapy, to deeply and transiently deplete CD19-positive B cells following a one-time infusion that may enable a reset of the immune system with the potential for durable remission without chronic therapy in patients with autoimmune diseases. Cabaletta is advancing four Phase 1/2 RESET trials evaluating CABA-201 within a total of ten cohorts with six patients in each cohort. All cohorts are evaluating the same single, weight-based dose of 1 x 106 cells/kg, following a preconditioning regimen of fludarabine and cyclophosphamide consistent with the dosing regimen used in the academic experience, without a dose escalation requirement.

As of May 28, 2024, the data cut-off date, one patient treated in the immune-mediated necrotizing myopathy (IMNM) cohort in the RESET-Myositis trial had completed three months of follow-up and one patient enrolled in the systemic lupus erythematosus (SLE) non-renal cohort in the RESET-SLE trial had completed one month of follow-up. The patient with IMNM is a 33-year-old male with a two-year history of disease, positive for anti-SRP antibody and who had prior disease-specific therapy that included IVIg, rituximab, methotrexate and glucocorticoids. The patient with SLE is a 26-year-old male with a six-year history of disease, positive for anti-dsDNA antibody and who had prior disease specific therapy that included cyclophosphamide, voclosporin, belimumab, tacrolimus, mycophenolate mofetil, hydroxychloroquine and glucocorticoids. Both patients were administered a one-time infusion of CABA-201 at 1 x 106 cells/kg, following a preconditioning regimen of fludarabine and cyclophosphamide. The primary endpoint of each trial is safety and tolerability within 28 days of infusion. Secondary endpoints include translational assessments and clinical outcomes.

Initial Clinical Data Summary

Safety and Tolerability

 

   

CABA-201 was administered during a four-day hospital stay, as currently required by the protocol, and was generally well-tolerated with no serious adverse events reported for either patient through the follow-up period.

 

   

No evidence of cytokine release syndrome (CRS) or immune effector cell-associated neurotoxicity syndrome (ICANS) of any grade was observed for either patient through the follow-up period. Tocilizumab was not administered for either patient.

 

   

No infections were observed for either patient through the follow-up period.

 

   

All chronic maintenance therapy or concomitant medications were discontinued for both patients through the follow-up period, other than a planned prednisone taper for the SLE patient.

Clinical and Translational Profile

 

   

Complete B cell depletion was observed within 15 days post-infusion with CABA-201 in both patients. Both patients had early, transient leukopenia, as expected with the preconditioning regimen.

 

   

CAR T cell expansion associated with CABA-201 reached its peak magnitude at day 15 post-infusion in both patients and the magnitude of expansion was consistent with the academic experience with a similar 4-1BB CD19-CAR T construct.


   

At week 12 of follow-up for the IMNM patient, the data show a decline in creatinine kinase from 617 at infusion to 308 and a total improvement score (TIS) of 30, which is consistent with the clinically meaningful improvement seen in the academic experience of a similar 4-1BB CD19-CAR T construct that also recently reported data from an IMNM patient.

 

   

At week 4 of follow-up for the SLE patient, the data demonstrated an improvement in the SLEDAI-2K (systemic lupus erythematosus disease activity index) score from 26 at baseline to 10.

 

   

B cell repopulation was observed in the IMNM patient at week 8 with immature naïve B cell phenotypes as demonstrated by flow cytometry, suggesting potential immune system reset with confirmatory analyses ongoing.

About the RESET-Myositis Trial

The RESET-Myositis trial is a Phase 1/2 open-label study of CABA-201 in subjects with active idiopathic inflammatory myopathy (IIM, or myositis), including the subtypes of dermatomyositis (DM), anti-synthetase syndrome (ASyS), immune-mediated necrotizing myopathy (IMNM) and juvenile myositis (JM), each evaluated in individual cohorts. Subjects will receive a one-time infusion of CABA-201 at a dose of 1 x 106 cells/kg, following a preconditioning regimen of fludarabine and cyclophosphamide. Key inclusion criteria for the DM, ASyS and IMNM cohorts include patients between ages 18 to 75 (inclusive), evidence of active disease and disease activity despite prior or current treatment with standard of care treatments. Key exclusion criteria for the DM, ASyS and IMNM cohorts include cancer-associated myositis, significant lung or cardiac impairment, treatment with a B cell depleting agent within the prior approximately six months or treatment with a biologic agent within the prior approximately three months.

About the RESET-SLE Trial

The RESET-SLE trial is a Phase 1/2 open-label study of CABA-201 in subjects with systemic lupus erythematosus (SLE) and lupus nephritis (LN), each evaluated in individual cohorts. Subjects will receive a one-time infusion of CABA-201 at a dose of 1 x 106 cells/kg, following a preconditioning regimen of fludarabine and cyclophosphamide. Key inclusion criteria include patients between ages 18 to 65 (inclusive), evidence of active disease and disease activity despite prior or current treatment with standard of care treatments. Key exclusion criteria include treatment with a B cell depleting agent within the prior approximately six months or treatment with a biologic agent within the prior approximately three months.

About CABA-201

CABA-201 is designed to deeply and transiently deplete CD19-positive cells following a one-time infusion, which may enable an “immune system reset” with the potential for durable remission without chronic therapy in patients with autoimmune diseases. Cabaletta is evaluating CABA-201 in multiple autoimmune conditions within five disease-specific company sponsored INDs including myositis (idiopathic inflammatory myopathy, or IIM), systemic lupus erythematosus (SLE), systemic sclerosis (SSc), generalized myasthenia gravis (gMG) and pemphigus vulgaris (PV; a sub-study to evaluate CABA-201 without preconditioning).


About Cabaletta Bio

Resetting the Immune System of Patients With Autoimmune Disease


Slide 16

B Cells Play a Central Role in the Pathogenesis of Autoimmune Diseases B cells contribute to autoimmunity through a variety of mechanisms1,2 Autoantibody production Antigen presentation T cell co-stimulation Production of proinflammatory cytokines While circulating B cells are sensitive to depletion, tissue-resident B cells easily escape depletion2 BCR, B cell receptor; MHC, major histocompatibility complex. 1.

Current Therapies for B Cell Driven Autoimmune Disease Rarely Achieve Drug-Free Remission 1. Schett G, et a. Ann Rheum Dis. 2024. PMID: 38777374. 2. Bucci, L. et al. Nat Med. 2024; PMID 38671240. Current challenges Despite good peripheral B cell depletion, bispecific and antibody-based B cell targeting therapies rarely induce stable drug-free remission in autoimmune disease Shallow B cell depletion that does not tackle resident autoimmune B cell clones may be the reason for this limitation Goals of newer therapies Deeper B cell depletion with a ‘living drug’ to allow targeting resident autoimmune B cell clones, enabling potential immune tolerance such that long-term drug therapy is not needed Reversibility of B cell depletion enabling a good safety profile B cells Autoreactive B cells CD19+ plasmablasts CD19- plasma cells CAR T cell mediated B cell depletion Monoclonal antibody Mediated B cell depletion
