REDWOOD CITY, Calif.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Aug. 7, 2025-- Arcellx, Inc. (NASDAQ: ACLX), a biotechnology company reimagining cell therapy through the development of innovative immunotherapies for patients with cancer and other incurable diseases, today reported business highlights and financial results for the second quarter ended June 30, 2025.

“The data presented for all 117 patients enrolled in the registrational iMMagine-1 study continue to demonstrate anito-cel’s potential to be a life-changing therapy for multiple myeloma patients,” said Rami Elghandour, Arcellx’s Chairman and Chief Executive Officer. “Along with our partners at Kite, we are planning to execute our anticipated 2026 commercial launch with the goal of ensuring access to as many patients as could benefit as rapidly as possible. To that end, we expect to launch in over 160 authorized treatment centers in the United States within the first year on the market and to have an adequate supply to meet physician expectations. We’re committed to delivering on the potential of anito-cel by ensuring best-in-class support and operational execution alongside our partners at Kite, who are the leaders in cell therapy. We are grateful for the patients, caregivers, and physicians who participated in our multiple myeloma anito-cel program, providing us an opportunity to advance this therapy to more patients in need. We look forward to sharing longer-term data from the iMMagine-1 study later this year. Additionally, it’s exciting to have engaged with the Food and Drug Administration and have our IND cleared earlier than expected for our next AML clinical program targeting CD33 and CD123 utilizing our ARC-SparX platform.”

Recent Business Progress

Presented positive preliminary data for the Phase 2 pivotal iMMagine-1 study of anito-cel in patients with relapsed or refractory multiple myeloma (RRMM) at EHA2025. The Phase 2 iMMagine-1 data were from a May 1, 2025 data cutoff date, including all 117 patients with a median follow-up of 12.6 months and a minimum follow-up of four months after treatment with anito-cel. All patients received a single infusion of anito-cel (target dose of 115×10⁶ CAR+ viable T cells). 100 of 117 patients (85%) were triple refractory, and 47 of 117 patients (40%) were penta refractory. Patients received a median of three prior lines of therapy, with 60 of 117 patients (51%) having received three prior lines.

Overall response rate (ORR) was 97% (114/117) with a complete response/stringent complete response (CR/sCR) rate of 68% (79/117) and a very good partial response or higher (>VGPR) rate of 85% (100/117), per International Myeloma Working Group (IMWG) criteria as investigator-assessed. Of those evaluable for minimal residual disease (MRD) testing at the time of this data cut, 93.3% (70/75) achieved MRD negativity at a minimum of 10^-5 sensitivity. Six-month, 12-month, and 18-month progression-free survival (PFS) rates were 92%, 79% and 66%, respectively, and six-month, 12-month, and 18-month overall survival (OS) rates were 97%, 95%, and 90% respectively. Median PFS and median OS have not been reached.

No delayed or non-immune effector cell-associated neurotoxicity syndrome (ICANS) neurotoxicities, including no Parkinsonism, no cranial nerve palsies, and no Guillain-Barré syndrome, and no immune-mediated enterocolitiswere observed with anito-cel. No additional treatment- or therapy-related deaths or Grade ≥3 cytokine release syndrome (CRS) or ICANS events occurred since the previous data presentation in December 2024.

Received clearance from the Food and Drug Administration for the clearance of an Investigational New Drug application for ACLX-004 targeting CD33 and CD123 utilizing the Company’s ARC-SparX platform.

Collaboration revenue was $7.6 million and $27.4 million for the quarters ended June 30, 2025 and 2024, respectively, a decrease of $19.8 million. This decrease was primarily driven by completion of dosing and manufacturing of anito-cel in the iMMagine-1 trial in the fourth quarter of 2024.

R&D expenses:

Research and development expenses were $37.6 million and $41.0 million for the quarters ended June 30, 2025 and 2024, respectively, a decrease of $3.4 million.

General and administrative expenses were $28.7 million and $21.4 million for the quarters ended June 30, 2025 and 2024, respectively, an increase of $7.3 million.
