Vor Biopharma Accelerates Telitacicept Trials for Autoimmune Diseases with $491.5 Million Reserve Vor Biopharma is shifting its core focus from oncology to late-stage autoimmune disease drug development, centering on telitacicept, a dual BAFF/APRIL inhibitor already approved in multiple indications in China and currently in Phase 3 trials for generalized myasthenia gravis and Sjögren’s disease, supported by a cash reserve of $491.5m.
The company’s pipeline and business priorities are now tied closely to telitacicept’s global clinical progress, with current studies targeting readouts into early 2029 and facing competition and regulatory hurdles in autoimmune indications such as gMG, Sjögren’s disease and IgA nephropathy.
Vor Biopharma’s stock trades at $19.75, with the share price up 69.7% year to date, reflecting a market that is already highly sensitive to updates on telitacicept and capital allocation decisions.
This pivot concentrates Vor Biopharma’s risk and potential reward in a single late-stage asset. As a result, trial outcomes, regulatory feedback and partnering terms are likely to have an outsized effect on shareholder value. Live-nyheter • Jul 08

Vor Biopharma Announces Publication of Interim Analysis of Teligan Phase 3 Trial of Telitacicept in Iga Nephropathy Vor Bio announced that results from the Phase 3 TELIGAN trial evaluating telitacicept in IgA nephropathy in China sponsored by its collaborator, RemeGen Co. Ltd., were published in The New England Journal of Medicine (NEJM). The publication reports results from a prespecified interim analysis of the ongoing Phase 3 TELIGAN trial, a multicenter, randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled trial conducted at 72 sites in China evaluating telitacicept in adults with biopsy-proven IgA nephropathy and persistent proteinuria despite optimized supportive care. The study met its primary endpoint, demonstrating a statistically significant reduction in proteinuria at week 39. Patients treated with telitacicept achieved a 58.9% reduction from baseline in 24-hour urinary protein-to-creatinine ratio (UPCR), compared with an 8.8% reduction for placebo, representing a 55.0% relative difference between groups. Estimated glomerular filtration rate (eGFR) remained stable with telitacicept, with a mean percentage change from baseline of -1.0% compared with -7.7% for placebo at week 39. A confirmed decline in eGFR of =30% occurred in 6.3% of telitacicept-treated patients compared with 27.0% of placebo-treated patients. At week 39, 61.0% of telitacicept-treated patients achieved a UPCR below 0.8 compared with 19.5% of placebo-treated patients. Reductions in proteinuria were observed consistently across prespecified patient subgroups, including baseline kidney function, proteinuria level, and use of SGLT2 inhibitors. Telitacicept treatment was associated with reductions in circulating CD19+ B cells and serum immunoglobulin levels, including a 60.6% mean reduction in serum IgA levels. Safety findings were generally consistent with previous studies of telitacicept. Most adverse events were mild to moderate in severity. Serious adverse events occurred less frequently with telitacicept than placebo (2.5% vs. 8.2%). The most common adverse events associated with telitacicept included upper respiratory tract infection, injection-site reactions, and reductions in immunoglobulin levels. Telitacicept is a novel recombinant fusion protein designed to treat autoimmune diseases through dual inhibition of BLyS (BAFF) and APRIL - two cytokines essential to B cell and plasma cell survival. This dual-target mechanism reduces autoreactive B cells and autoantibody production, key drivers of autoimmune pathology. Telitacicept is approved in China for systemic lupus erythematosus (SLE), rheumatoid arthritis (RA), and generalized myasthenia gravis (gMG). Additional regulatory filings in China are underway, including biologics license applications for primary Sjögren’s disease (SjD) and IgA nephropathy (IgAN). Vor Bio is advancing telitacicept in global Phase 3 trials in gMG and SjD to support potential regulatory approvals in the United States, Europe, and Japan. Tillkännagivande • Apr 28

Vor Bio Doses First Patient in Global Phase 3 UPSTREAM SjD Registrational Trial of Telitacicept in Primary Sjögren’s Disease Vor Bio announced the dosing of the first patient in UPSTREAM SjD, a global, randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled Phase 3 trial evaluating telitacicept in adult patients with active primary Sjögren’s disease (SjD), formerly known as Sjögren's syndrome. First and only dual BAFF/APRIL inhibitor in primary Sjögren’s disease, one of the largest autoimmune diseases without an approved therapy. In late 2025, RemeGen presented results from a Phase 3 trial conducted in China with telitacicept in the same indication that demonstrated potential best-in-disease activity, with statistically significant and clinically meaningful improvements in both ESSDAI and ESSPRI, the two key, validated EULAR measurements used to assess patient disease burden. These prior results provide important clinical support for dual BAFF/APRIL inhibition as a therapeutic strategy in this disease. UPSTREAM SjD will evaluate the efficacy and safety of telitacicept administered subcutaneously with a pre-filled syringe compared to placebo in approximately 250 adult patients with active primary SjD. The primary endpoint is the change from baseline in the EULAR Sjögren’s Syndrome Disease Activity Index (ESSDAI) score at Week 48. The trial is expected to enroll patients who meet the 2016 ACR/EULAR classification criteria for primary SjD and have active disease as defined by an ESSDAI score =5. Key secondary endpoints in the UPSTREAM SjD trial will evaluate the effect of telitacicept at Week 48 across systemic disease activity, glandular function, and patient-reported symptoms. Sjögren’s disease is a chronic autoimmune condition in which overactive B cells drive inflammation, damaging moisture-producing glands and, in many cases, other organs throughout the body. Hallmark symptoms include dry eyes and dry mouth, alongside fatigue, pain, and systemic complications affecting the skin, lungs, kidneys, and nervous system. About one-third of patients develop significant extraglandular involvement, and the disease carries an elevated lymphoma risk, often leading to substantial impairment in daily life. One of the most common rheumatic autoimmune diseases, Sjögren’s remains underdiagnosed, with roughly half of cases unrecognized and women comprising the vast majority of patients. Despite its prevalence and burden, no approved systemic disease-modifying therapies exist; current care focuses on symptom management with incomplete relief. Telitacicept is a novel, investigational recombinant fusion protein designed to treat autoimmune diseases by selectively inhibiting BLyS (BAFF) and APRIL - two cytokines essential to B cell and plasma cell survival. This dual-target mechanism reduces autoreactive B cells and autoantibody production, key drivers of autoimmune pathology. Telitacicept is approved in China for systemic lupus erythematosus (SLE), rheumatoid arthritis (RA), and generalized myasthenia gravis (gMG). Additional regulatory filings in China are underway, including biologics license applications for primary Sjögren’s disease (SjD) and IgA nephropathy (IgAN). Vor Bio is advancing global development programs across major autoimmune indications, including a global Phase 3 trial in gMG and SjD to support potential regulatory approvals in the United States, Europe, and Japan.

Vor Biopharma Inc. Achieves Primary Endpoint of Reducing Proteinuria in Stage A of A Phase 3 Clinical Study for Iga Nephropathy in China Vor Biopharma Inc. announced that the primary endpoint was achieved in Stage A of a Phase 3 clinical study in China evaluating telitacicept in adults with IgA nephropathy (IgAN). In addition, statistically significant benefits were achieved across all secondary endpoints in the study, which was conducted by RemeGen Co. Ltd. (HKEX: 9995, SHA: 688331), Vor Bio’s collaborator.
This study is a multicenter, randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled clinical trial in China that enrolled 318 adult patients with IgAN at high risk of progression who had received stable standard therapy. Patients were randomized (1:1) to telitacicept (240 mg) or placebo, subcutaneously once weekly. Primary Endpoint Achieved: In Stage A of the Phase 3 study, telitacicept achieved the primary endpoint of reducing proteinuria, demonstrating a significant reduction in 24h-UPCRvs. Placebo at 39 weeks compared to placebo (-58.9% vs. -8.8%, p<0.0001), 24h-UPCR is an objective and internally recognized regulatory marker for assessing disease activity in IgAN. Statistically Significant Benefits Across all key Secondary Endpoints: Key secondary endpoints evaluated preservation of kidney function—measured by change in estimated glomerular filtration rate (eGFR), the proportion of patients with a =30% decline in eGFR, and remission rates defined by achievement of UPCR threshold <0.8 g/g. Additional endpoints included resolution of hematuria and changes in pharmacodynamic markers such as B-cell counts and serum immunoglobulins. Treatment with telitacicept achieved statistically significant improvements across all key secondary endpoints at Week 39. Compared with placebo, telitacicept stabilized kidney function (GMR of eGFR relative to baseline, showed stabilization in the telitacicept group (-0.10) in contrast to a decline in the placebo group (-0.77)) and reduced the risk of eGFR decline = 30% (6.3% in the telitacicept group vs. 27.0% in the placebo group). 61% of patients on telitacicept vs.19.5% of patients on placebo achieved 24h-UPCR <0.8 g/g, 42.1% of patients on telitacicept vs. 7.5% of patients on placebo achieved <0.5 g/g, and 24.5% of patients on telitacicept vs. 0.6% of patients on placebo achieved <0.3 g/g, thresholds linked to low risk of disease progression.

Vor Biopharma Inc. Announces Publication of China Phase 3 Study of Telitacicept in Systemic Lupus Erythematosus in The New England Journal of Medicine Vor Biopharma Inc. announced that results from a Phase 3 study in China evaluating telitacicept in systemic lupus erythematosus (SLE) sponsored by its collaborator, RemeGen Co. Ltd., were published in The New England Journal of Medicine (NEJM). For the first time, a therapy in a Phase 3 trial is delivering more than double the clinical response seen with the current standard of care in lupus. These data present a compelling case for potentially broadening telitacicept's use as a new standard of care worldwide. Lupus has challenged researchers and clinicians for decades. By targeting both BAFF and APRIL, it was possible to achieve excellent clinical results that suggest the effective restoration of immune balance in at least some of the patients. This dual-target mechanism reduces autoreactive B cells and autoantibody production, key drivers of autoimmune pathology. In a Phase 3 clinical trial in generalized myasthenia gravis in China, telitacicept demonstrated a placebo adjusted 4.83-point improvement in MG-ADL (Myasthenia Gravis Activities of Daily Living scale) at 24 weeks, the primary endpoint of the trial. Telitacicept is approved in China for systemic lupus ery thematosus (SLE), rheumatoid arthritis (RA), and generalized myasthenia gravis (gMG). A global Phase 3 clinical trial in gMG is currently underway across the United States, Europe, South America, and Asia-Pacific to support potential approval in the United States, Europe, and Japan.

New minor risk - Market cap size The company's market capitalization is less than US$100m. Market cap: US$95.6m This is considered a minor risk. Companies with a small market capitalization are most likely businesses that have not yet released a product to market or are simply a very small company without a wide reach. Either way, risk is elevated with these companies because there is a chance the product may not come to fruition or the company's addressable market or demand may not be as large as expected. In addition, if the company's size is the main factor, it is less likely to have many investors and analysts following it and scrutinizing its performance and outlook. Currently, the following risks have been identified for the company: Major Risks Less than 1 year of cash runway based on free cash flow trend (-US$100m free cash flow). Shareholders have been substantially diluted in the past year (83% increase in shares outstanding). Revenue is less than US$1m. Minor Risks Currently unprofitable and not forecast to become profitable over next 3 years (US$131m net loss in 3 years).

Vor Bio Presents Novel Research Highlighting Opportunities and Challenges Facing Institutions Enrolling Patients in Cell and Gene Therapy Trials Vor Bio presented novel research evaluating the patient experience and barriers to enrollment and participation in cell and gene therapy (CGT) trials. The data, which was presented at the TANDEM Meetings of ASTCT and CIBMTR, demonstrated the need to improve the process and experience of patients considering and enroll in CGT trials. Despite the growing number of CGT trials, their complexity, logistical challenges including treatment duration and caregiver burden, and the significant resources they require represent important barriers that delay enrollment and limit patient access. The results reveal significant opportunities for institutions and trial sponsors to improve the patient experience, streamline the process, and enroll more patients in CGT trials. Clinical trial sponsors can address the complexity of cell and gene therapies and help patients better understand these options by providing more comprehensive educational content beyond the handouts typically shared. Additionally, as hospitals are often limited in how many CGT trials they can offer, adding a specialized CGT research team could potentially expand their capacity to offer more trials and treat more patients. This research will inform Vor Bio's communications approach for future clinical trials and how the Company can help support patients and partner institutions through the enrollment process. Vor Bio plans to continue this research to uncover additional learnings that may lead to further improvements in the patient experience and CGT clinical trial enrollment. The study coauthors include staff at NMDP (National Marrow Donor Program), MDS Foundation, Memorial Sloan Kettering Cancer Center, University Hospitals Cleveland Medical Center, Miami Cancer Institute, and Stanford Medicine. The words "aim," "anticipate," "can," "continue," "continue," "could," "design," " enable," "intend," "on-track," "ongoing," "plan," "pot potential," "target," update," "will," " would," and similar expressions are intended to identify forward-looking statements, although not all forward-looking statements contain these identifying words.

New major risk - Shareholder dilution The company's shareholders have been substantially diluted in the past year. Increase in shares outstanding: 84% This is considered a major risk. Shareholder dilution occurs when there is an increase in the number of shares on issue that is not proportionally distributed between all shareholders. Often due to the company raising equity capital or some options being converted into stock. All else being equal, if there are more shares outstanding then each existing share will be entitled to a lower proportion of the company's total earnings, thus reducing earnings per share (EPS). While dilution might not always result in lower EPS (like if the company is using the capital to fund an EPS accretive acquisition) in a lot cases it does, along with lower dividends per share and less voting power at shareholder meetings. Currently, the following risks have been identified for the company: Major Risks Share price has been highly volatile over the past 3 months (22% average weekly change). Shareholders have been substantially diluted in the past year (84% increase in shares outstanding). Revenue is less than US$1m.

Vor Bio Doses First AML Patient with VCAR33 (ALLO) Vor Bio announced it has dosed the first patient in VBP301, its Phase 1/2, multicenter, open-label, first-in-human study of VCAR33ALLO. The Company has extended its cash runway into the second half of 2025. The first patient with relapsed/refractory acute myeloid leukemia (AML) has been dosed with VCAR33ALLO in the VBP301 clinical trial, a significant milestone demonstrating that VCAR33ALLO can be successfully manufactured in Vor Bio’s in-house manufacturing facility. VCAR33ALLO is manufactured from lymphocytes collected from the patient’s original transplant donor, generating a CAR-T cell product that is exactly matched to the recipient’s engrafted blood system. By using healthy transplant donor cells as the starting material to produce VCAR33ALLO, the CAR-T cells have a more stem-like phenotype, leading to greater potential for expansion, persistence, and anti-leukemia activity compared to a product derived from a patient’s own lymphocytes. While this first patient had relapsed after a standard-of-care transplant, patients who have relapsed after a trem-cel transplant are also eligible to enroll in the VBP301 protocol and to receive VCAR33ALLO. The ability to treat relapsed trem-cel transplant patients with VCAR33ALLO may provide valuable early insights into the potential of the Company’s trem-cel + VCAR33 Treatment System, which pairs VCAR33 after trem-cel to reduce the risk of relapse or treat evidence of relapse. Initial data from VBP301 is expected in the second half of 2024. The Company has further extended its cash runway into the second half of 2025 through an internal review and prioritization process and will continue to invest in its platform and clinical programs while strategically prioritizing late-stage programs and managing employee growth to preserve cash.

Vor Bio Presents Positive Data Update on Trem-cel at HSCT² Conference Vor Bio presented updated clinical data from patients treated in VBP101, its Phase 1/2a multicenter, open-label, first-in-human study of trem-cel (VOR33) in patients with acute myeloid leukemia (AML). Guenther Koehne, MD, PhD, Deputy Director and Chief of Blood & Marrow Transplant and Hematologic Oncology at Miami Cancer Institute of Baptist Health South Florida will present these data on November 10, in an oral presentation at the ASTCT/EBMT 6thInternational Conference on Relapse After Transplant and Cellular Therapy (HSCT²) in Los Angeles, California. Primary neutrophil engraftment occurred in all seven patients treated to date with trem-cel with a median time to engraftment of 10 days, further providing evidence that CD33 is biologically dispensable. Additionally, platelet recovery occurred at a median of 15.5 days, excluding one patient with previously documented anti-platelet antibodies (immune thrombocytopenia). All three patients treated with Mylotarg experienced hematologic protection from deep cytopenias through repeat doses, suggesting that trem-cel transplants shielded patients’ healthy cells from the on-target toxicity (myelosuppression) typically seen with Mylotarg treatment. The hematological protection exhibited provides support that dose escalation of Mylotarg is warranted and highlights the potential to dose CD33-targeted CAR-T therapy without expected hematologic toxicity. Mylotarg first-dose pharmacokinetics for the three patients treated showed that the 0.5 mg/m2 dose was within the exposure range measured for the therapeutic dose of Mylotarg in relapsed/refractory AML patients, potentially due to the decreased CD33 antigen sink in trem-cel patients. In all three patients, the percentage of CD33-negative donor cells increased following Mylotarg administration, suggesting that Mylotarg treatment at the first cohort level of 0.5 mg/m2 was pharmacologically active and enriched for CD33-edited donor cells. Next steps in the VBP101 study include dose escalation of Mylotarg to 1.0 mg/m2 and providing treatment opportunities for trem-cel patients who become measurable residual disease positive or relapse, such as induction-course Mylotarg and VCAR33ALLO. As previously announced, the Pediatric Transplantation and Cellular Therapy Consortium (PTCTC) released data in an ASH abstract from its Phase 1/2 study (NCT03971799)1 of CD33CART (also known as VCAR33AUTO), which uses the same CAR-T construct as the Company’s VCAR33ALLO. The data show that 2 of 5 (40%) evaluable patients treated at the highest dose level achieved complete remission with a manageable safety profile (four out of 19 evaluable patients had cytokine release syndrome = Grade 3). This data further validates Vor Bio’s approach of using transplant donor cells as CAR-T starting material that are healthy, stem-like, and exactly matched to the patient’s immune system. AML is the most common type of acute leukemia in adults and one of the deadliest and most aggressive blood cancers, affecting 20,000 newly diagnosed patients each year in the United States. Approximately half of patients with AML who receive a hematopoietic cell transplant (HCT) suffer a relapse of their leukemia, with two-year survival rates of less than 20%, and relapse rates are higher for patients with certain adverse risk features. The fragility of engrafted hematopoietic stem cells prevents treatment following transplant, giving the cancer a chance to return. VBP101 is a Phase 1/2a, multicenter, open-label, first-in-human study of trem-cel (VOR33) in participants with AML who are undergoing human leukocyte antigen (HLA)-matched allogeneic HCT. Trem-cel is an allogeneic CRISPR/Cas9 genome-edited hematopoietic stem and progenitor cell (HSPC) therapy product, lacking the CD33 protein. It is being investigated for participants with CD33+ AML at high risk for relapse after HCT to allow post-HCT targeting of residual CD33+ acute AML cells using Mylotarg (gemtuzumab ozogamicin) without toxicity to engrafted cells. Participants undergo a myeloablative HCT with matched related or unrelated donor CD34-selected HSPCs engineered to remove CD33 expression (trem-cel drug product). Mylotarg is given after engraftment for up to four cycles. The primary endpoint is the incidence of successful engraftment, defined as the first day of 3 consecutive days of absolute neutrophil count (ANC) =500 cells/mm2 by day 28. Part 1 of this study is evaluating the safety of escalating Mylotarg dose levels to determine the maximum tolerated dose (MTD) and recommended Phase 2 dose. Part 2 will expand the number of participants to evaluate the Mylotarg recommended Phase 2 dose. Tremtelectogene empogeditemcel (trem-cel), formerly VOR33, is a genome-edited hematopoietic stem and progenitor allogeneic donor product candidate where CD33 has been deleted using genome engineering. Transplant with trem-cel is designed to replace standard of care transplants for patients suffering from AML and potentially other blood cancers. Trem-cel has the potential to enable powerful targeted therapies in the post-transplant setting including CD33-targeted CAR-T cells. Tillkännagivande • Nov 03

CD33CART Study Clinical Data Update The Pediatric Transplantation and Cellular Therapy Consortium (PTCTC) released data providing a clinical update on a Phase 1/2 study of CD33CART (NCT03971799)(1), an autologous CAR-T therapy targeting CD33 (also referred to as VCAR33(AUTO) which uses the same CAR-T construct as VCAR33(A) (LLO). Nineteen pediatric and young adult patients with relapsed/refractory AML with a median age of 16 years were infused in the Phase 1 portion of the study. Sarah K. Tasian, MD, is a co-investigator on the PTCTC-supported clinical trial and led the preclinical testing and translation of CD33CART with Terry Fry, MD, at the University of Colorado. Lastly, a trial-in-progress poster will be presented on the Company's VBP301 clinical trial, a Phase 1/2 multicenter, open- label, first-in-human trial of VCAR33(ALLO) in patients with relapsed or refractory AML after allogeneic stem cell transplantation.

New minor risk - Share price stability The company's share price has been volatile over the past 3 months. It is more volatile than 75% of American stocks, typically moving 10% a week. This is considered a minor risk. Share price volatility indicates the stock is highly sensitive to market conditions or economic conditions rather than being sensitive to its own business performance, which may also be inconsistent. It also increases the risk of potential losses in the short term as the stock tends to have larger drops in price more frequently than other stocks. Currently, the following risks have been identified for the company: Major Risks Earnings are forecast to decline by an average of 3.9% per year for the foreseeable future. Shareholders have been substantially diluted in the past year (78% increase in shares outstanding). Revenue is less than US$1m. Minor Risks Currently unprofitable and not forecast to become profitable over next 3 years (US$155m net loss in 3 years). Share price has been volatile over the past 3 months (10% average weekly change). Tillkännagivande • Jun 10
Vor Biopharma Inc. Presents Updated Clinical Data from Patients Treated in VBP101 Vor Biopharma Inc. announced VBP101, its Phase 1/2a multicenter, open-label, first-in-human study of trem-cel (formerly VOR33) in patients with acute myeloid leukemia (AML). These data were presented by Guenther Koehne, MD, PhD, Deputy Director and Chief of Blood & Marrow Transplant and Hematologic Oncology at Miami Cancer Institute of Baptist Health South Florida in a poster presentation at the European Hematology Association (EHA) 2023 Congress in Frankfurt, Germany. As previously reported, neutrophil and platelet cell counts were maintained in patient 1 who received multiple Mylotarg doses at 0.5 mg/m2, suggesting protection from Mylotarg-induced hematotoxicity. The Company also announced that the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) has cleared its Investigational New Drug (IND) application for VCAR33ALLO, a T-cell therapy derived from allogeneic healthy donors using a chimeric antigen receptor (CAR) specifically binding to CD33. Trem-cel is planned to be studied in the VBP301 clinical trial, which will focus on patients who have relapsed following allogeneic stem cell transplant where T cells harvested from the original donor are used as starting material for the drug product. VBP101 is a Phase 1/2a, multicenter, open- label, first-in-human trial of trem-cel (VOR33) in participants with AML who are undergoing human leukocyte antigen (HLA)-matched allogeneic HCT. Trem-cel is an allogeneic CRISPR/Cas9 genome-edited hematopoietic stem and progenitor cell (HSPC) therapy product, lacking the CD33 protein. Price Target Changed • Mar 24

Vor Biopharma Inc. Presents Clinical Data from VBP101 Vor Biopharma Inc. presented clinical data from VBP101, its Phase 1/2a multicenter, open-label, first-in-human study of trem-cel (previously VOR33) in patients with acute myeloid leukemia (AML). In the first patient, trem-cel maintained hematopoesis through three cycles of Mylotarg (gemtuzumab ozogamicin), which was well-tolerated at the initial dose level of 0.5 mg/m2. A second patient has successfully received a trem-cel transplant and engrafted normally. These data were presented by Miguel-Angel Perales, MD, Chief, Adult Bone Marrow Transplant Service, Memorial Sloan Kettering Cancer Center in a late-breaking poster at the 2023 Tandem Meetings (Transplantation & Cellular Therapy Meetings of ASTCT™ and CIBMTR®) in Orlando, FL. Trem-cel Safety & Durability: Patient 1 maintained neutrophil and platelet counts approximately five months (147 days) after transplantation with trem-cel. Due to detectable measurable residual disease (MRD), Patient 1 was moved to other therapies following administration of the third dose of Mylotarg, subsequently relapsed, and remains on study for long-term follow-up. Similar to Patient 1, Patient 2 successfully received a trem-cel transplant and showed robust cell recovery with neutrophil engraftment occurring at Day 11 and platelet recovery on Day 17. Trem-cel was well tolerated in both patients, with no related and no unexpected adverse events (AEs) reported. No Hematological Toxicity Observed Through Repeated Doses of Mylotarg: In Patient 1, neutrophil and platelet cell counts were maintained following three sequential Mylotarg doses at 0.5 mg/m2. This suggests potential protection from Mylotarg-related hematotoxicity. The only AE observed possibly related to Mylotarg through dose 3 was low grade nausea and vomiting, a known side-effect of Mylotarg. Mylotarg first-dose pharmacokinetics revealed 0.5 mg/m2 achieved Cmax and AUC parameters equivalent to 1-2 and 4-5 mg/m2 accordingly, potentially due to the decreased CD33 antigen sink. Evidence of Mylotarg Causing CD33-negative Donor Cell Enrichment: In Patient 1, CD33-negative donor hematopoiesis was enriched across hematopoietic cell types following Mylotarg administration. In addition, the CD33 deletion was observed in donor cells of myeloid and lymphoid origin which were both enriched following Mylotarg, suggesting that CD33 is expressed in early hematopoietic cells and that Mylotarg treatment enriches for edited donor cells. Interest in enrollment in VBP101 continues to be strong with a high level of investigator enthusiasm at all nine study sites. The company is moving forward with dose escalation of Mylotarg per the 3+3 dose escalation schema in the protocol. The Company is also on-track to submit an IND in the first half of 2023 for VCAR33ALLO, a CAR-T therapy using allogeneic healthy donor-derived cells, which it intends use in combination with trem-cel as a Treatment System.

Vor Bio Successfully Demonstrates Multiplex Editing of Hematopoietic Stem Cells for Next-generation AML Treatment Presented at EHA Vor Bio announced successful first of its kind dual editing of CD33 and CLL-1 in human hematopoietic stem cells (HSCs) demonstrating continued progress on its novel approach for the treatment of acute myeloid leukemia (AML). The data is being presented at the European Hematology Association Congress in Vienna, Austria.The pre-clinical data demonstrates that multiplex deletion by CRISPR/Cas9 of CD33 and CLL-1 from human CD34+ hematopoietic stem and progenitor cells (HSPCs) maintained cell function and persisted long-term post engraftment in vivo, with a high-level of editing, no counterselection, and minimum translocation risk when compared to unedited control cells. In addition, genetically modifying HSPCs to remove select cell surface targets does not impair their function and these dual engineered cells showed significant protection from targeted immunotherapy in vitro.AML is the most common type of acute leukemia in adults and is characterized by excessive proliferation of immature myeloid progenitor cells and their failure to properly differentiate into mature blood cells. Healthy donor HSC transplantation is the standard of care and currently around 40% of patients with AML who receive HSC transplantation suffer a relapse of their cancer, with two-year survival rates of less than 20%, highlighting the need for new therapeutic approaches for these patients.
