TScan Therapeutics to Present Updated Data from the Ongoing ALLOHA Phase 1 Heme Trial During Oral Session at the 66th American Society of Hematology Annual Meeting and Exposition
To date, event-free survival strongly favors the treatment arm (HR=0.30; p=0.04), and treatment-arm patients trend towards lower probability of relapse (HR=0.28; p=0.14)
No dose-limiting toxicities observed and infusions of TSC-100 and TSC-101 were well-tolerated across all three dose levels

WALTHAM, Mass., Dec. 09, 2024 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- TScan Therapeutics, Inc. (Nasdaq: TCRX), a clinical-stage biotechnology company focused on the development of T cell receptor (TCR)-engineered T cell (TCR-T) therapies for the treatment of patients with cancer, today announced that updated results from the ongoing ALLOHA Phase 1 trial of TSC-100 and TSC-101 will be presented during an oral session at the 66th American Society of Hematology (ASH) Annual Meeting and Exposition. TSC-100 and TSC-101 are designed to treat residual disease and prevent relapse in patients with acute myeloid leukemia (AML), acute lymphoblastic leukemia (ALL), and myelodysplastic syndrome (MDS) undergoing allogeneic hematopoietic cell transplantation (HCT) with reduced intensity conditioning.
“Disease relapse is the leading cause of death in patients undergoing transplant following reduced intensity conditioning and represents a significant unmet medical need,” said Chrystal U. Louis, M.D., Chief Medical Officer. “As the majority of patients enrolled in both the treatment and control arms were considered at very high risk for relapse, we are highly encouraged by the preliminary ALLOHA study results, which suggest that TSC-100 and TSC-101 have the potential to eliminate residual disease and prevent relapse in patients with AML, ALL, or MDS post-HCT.”
“We are very excited by these data and, based on these results, we intend to launch a pivotal trial in the second half of 2025,” said Gavin MacBeath, Ph.D., Chief Executive Officer. “Following recent feedback from the FDA, we believe we have a clear development path and will share our plans at our KOL event tomorrow morning.”
In the ongoing ALLOHA Phase 1 trial (NCT05473910), patients receive either TSC-100 or TSC-101 post-HCT, whereas control-arm patients receive HCT alone as per standard of care. To date, 38 patients have been enrolled in the trial and undergone HCT, with 26 in the treatment arm and 12 in the control arm. The key endpoints in the trial are safety and efficacy, with exploratory endpoints including donor chimerism and minimal residual disease (MRD) status.
