ACHIEVE at higher dose level
- 5 Patients received second dose
- 2 Patients received third dose
EDINBURGH, Scotland, Sept. 3,
2024 /PRNewswire/ -- TC BioPharm (Holdings) PLC ("TC
BioPharm" or the "Company") (NASDAQ: TCBP) a clinical stage
biotechnology company developing platform allogeneic gamma-delta T
cell therapies for cancer and other indications, today announces
dosing of 5 new patients in the ACHIEVE Phase 2b trial ongoing in the UK.
Currently, the trial has successfully dosed 6 patients with
their first of 4 possible doses at the higher dose level. Each 5mL
dose contains up to 230 million gamma delta T cells, and a patient
is expected to receive up to an approximate 1 billion gamma delta T
cells over four doses. Five patients have received their second
dose, with 2 of these patients having also received their third
dose. This correlates with TCBP's step-wise approach to
process improvements, as implemented in Q4 2023, and further steps
taken to amend the trial protocol in the first quarter of
2024. New patients will continue to be identified, screened,
and enrolled into the study.
"TCBP is excited to announce our rapid progression in the
ACHIEVE Phase 2b trial with very
strong enrolment in the second part of the trial using the higher
dose," stated, Bryan Kobel, CEO of
TC BioPharm. "TCB008 is potentially a game-changing
monotherapy for blood cancers, and the strong recruitment and
patient retention rates are testament to clinician/physician
interest in TCB008 as a monotherapy in leukemia. We're proud of the
milestones accomplished to date, having rapidly dosed 6 patients
with an additional 10 patients lined up. It is encouraging to see
re-dosing of several patients, which we believe reflects positively
on the steps the organization took in 2023 and early 2024. TCBP
remains poised to execute on our clinical trial plans in 2024 and
into 2025, including ACHIEVE and ACHIEVE2, as well as our expanded
manufacturing capabilities to enhance our operational capabilities
and our economic efficiencies."
The ACHIEVE UK clinical trial is an open-label, phase II study
designed to evaluate the efficacy and effectiveness of TCB008 in
patients with AML or MDS/AML, with either refractory or relapsed
disease.
