- No patients had prior CAR T therapy; recovery pattern consistent with CAR T experience in autoimmune disease.
- Preliminary PK data from 2 patients with DLBCL show similar NKX019 exposure after Flu/Cy vs Cy alone lymphodepletion.
- B-cell recovery confirmed by single-cell RNA profiling, showing naïve and intermediate B cell transcriptome profiles.
- Company highlights potential of NKX019 for autoimmune diseases such as lupus nephritis.
