Madison – Cellectar Biosciences, Inc. (Nasdaq:CLRB) (the “company”), an oncology-focused, clinical stage biotechnology company, today provides a data update on the first two cohorts of the company’s Phase I clinical study of CLR 131 in patients with relapsed or refractory multiple myeloma.
The clinical benefit rate for this study is 80 percent despite patients receiving an average of four prior treatments, including stem cell transplant and triple drug combinations. The patients in Cohort 1 received a single 12.5 mCi/m2 dose and patients in Cohort 2 received a single 18.75 mCi/m2 dose. At this time, Cohort 1 and Cohort 2 patients have demonstrated post treatment median survival of 11.9 months and 4.9 months, respectively. The median survival for all evaluable patients in both cohorts continues to increase and will be followed to determine overall survival benefit. Currently, the median overall survival (mOS) for each cohort is not yet evaluable. All evaluable patients in the clinical study experienced progression free survival (PFS). In Cohort 1, patients averaged 88.5 days of PFS. While patients in Cohort 2 have already achieved an average PFS of 127 days, the average PFS in Cohort 2 continues to increase as one of the four patients is still experiencing PFS. It is important to note that overall survival of 11.9 months and PFS of 127 days in this heavily pretreated patient population is better than or equivalent to that reported by several recently approved multiple myeloma drugs.
