Active Immunotherapy with Mitumprotimut-T Following Rituximab Induction in Patients with Follicular B-cell Lymphoma: Progression-Free Survival at 4-year Follow-Up Mitumprotimut-T is a patient-specific and B-cell tumor-specific idiotype (Id) protein chemically conjugated to keyhole limpet hemocyanin (KLH), a potent non-specific immunogenic protein Mitumprotimut-T induces a cellular and humoral immune response to the Id protein expressed by the patient’s own tumor, leading to active immunization against the tumor while sparing normal B-cells Background Omer K et al. Abstract #2567. Presented December 9, 2007, at the 49th ASH Annual Meeting in Atlanta, Georgia.

Active Immunotherapy with Mitumprotimut-T Following Rituximab Induction in Patients with Follicular B-cell Lymphoma: Progression-Free Survival at 4-year Follow-Up Mitumprotimut-T is co-administered with GM-CSF to further enhance immune anti-Id immune responses The Id protein is produced by proprietary recombinant technology; ~8 weeks from biopsy to final product Background Omer K et al. Abstract #2567. Presented December 9, 2007, at the 49th ASH Annual Meeting in Atlanta, Georgia.

Active Immunotherapy with Mitumprotimut-T Following Rituximab Induction in Patients with Follicular B-cell Lymphoma: Progression-Free Survival at 4-year Follow-Up Treatment Regimen Rituximab: 375 mg/m2 weekly infusion x 4 weeks.

Active Immunotherapy with Mitumprotimut-T Following Rituximab Induction in Patients with Follicular B-cell Lymphoma: Progression-Free Survival at 4-year Follow-Up The progression-free survival (PFS) KM curves appear to be biphasic, with a substantial proportion of patients remaining free of progression beyond 4 years: – 26% of all patients – 40% of treatment-naïve patients – 45% of treatment-naïve patients who responded to rituximab Summary Omer K et al. Abstract #2567. Presented December 9, 2007, at the 49th ASH Annual Meeting in Atlanta, Georgia.

Active Immunotherapy with Mitumprotimut-T Following Rituximab Induction in Patients with Follicular B-cell Lymphoma: Progression-Free Survival at 4-year Follow-Up In treatment-naïve patients, the overall 3-year PFS rate with rituximab followed by mitumprotimut-T + GM-CSF is 44% vs. 21% with rituximab alone (Witzig et al), and the 3-year continued response rate is 51% with rituximab followed by mitumprotimut-T + GM-CSF vs. 20% with rituximab alone (Ghielmini et al) Patients who achieved an objective response (CR or PR) following rituximab and then received mitumprotimut-T + GM-CSF had longer PFS than patients with stable disease after rituximab Summary Omer K et al. Abstract #2567. Presented December 9, 2007, at the 49th ASH Annual Meeting in Atlanta, Georgia.

Active Immunotherapy with Mitumprotimut-T Following Rituximab Induction in Patients with Follicular B-cell Lymphoma: Progression-Free Survival at 4-year Follow-Up The progression-free survival and duration of response in this study suggest a better clinical outcome when mitumprotimut-T + GM-CSF is given following cytoreductive therapy with rituximab than would be expected with single-agent rituximab treatment Conclusions Omer K et al. Abstract #2567. Presented December 9, 2007, at the 49th ASH Annual Meeting in Atlanta, Georgia.
21
Active Immunotherapy with Mitumprotimut-T Following Rituximab Induction in Patients with Follicular B-cell Lymphoma: Progression-Free Survival at 4-year Follow-Up This hypothesis is being tested in an ongoing Phase 3 registration trial in which subjects with follicular lymphoma randomized to receive mitumprotimut-T or placebo, both with GM-CSF, following cytoreduction with rituximab achieved a best objective response rate of 70% (CR = 47%, PR = 23%) in a blinded interim analysis (Freedman et al, Blood 2006; 108: #2756) Analysis of time to progression, the study primary efficacy endpoint, is expected in July 2008 Conclusions Omer K et al. Abstract #2567. Presented December 9, 2007, at the 49th ASH Annual Meeting in Atlanta, Georgia.
