I. From "No Man's Land" to Global Leader: A 15-Year Expedition of a Chinese CAR-T Company
When PersonGen was registered in Suzhou Industrial Park in 2010, CAR-T therapy was virtually non-existent in China. While most peers focused on B-cell malignancies - an internationally validated path - PersonGen chose a much more arduous road: fully committing its R&D resources to CD7-targeted CAR-T, tackling relapsed or refractory T-lymphoblastic leukemia/lymphoma (R/R T-ALL/LBL), a disease that still lacks effective treatments. The technical difficulty of the CD7 target has deterred most global teams. PersonGen innovatively adopted a non-gene-editing strategy by co-transducing a CD7-CAR lentivirus and a CD7-blocking lentivirus, trapping the CD7 protein in the endoplasmic reticulum and Golgi apparatus of T cells, thereby generating CD7-CAR-T cells that do not express CD7 on the cell surface, and established a new quality control system accordingly. Clinical data from this pipeline strongly validate its value. As the world's first CD7-targeted autologous CAR-T product approved for clinical trials, PA3-17 injection has demonstrated breakthrough "dual-efficacy" potential in Phase I registration trials: an objective response rate (ORR) of 85% and a minimal residual disease (MRD)-negative complete remission rate of 95%. Given that traditional chemotherapy yields a 5-year survival rate of less than 20% for such patients and a long-term survival rate below 10% after relapse, this achievement has opened a new path for patients in a therapeutic desert.
