Korean cell therapy developer ViGenCell said on Tuesday it has begun the country's first treatment under a new advanced regenerative medicine framework, using its VT-EBV-N therapy at a Seoul hospital. (Korea Biomedical Review) - "The two-year program at Yeouido St. Mary's Hospital will enroll 15 patients in complete remission from Epstein-Barr virus (EBV)-positive extranodal NK/T-cell lymphoma (ENKTL) who are at high risk of relapse. ViGenCell will manufacture and supply the therapy."

Phase II VT-EBV-201 trial: VT-EBV-N for EBV-positive ENKTL (Lymphoma Hub) - "The 2-year DFS rate was 95.0% with VT-EBV-N (95% confidence interval [CI], 69.5–99.3) vs 77.6% with PBMC control (95% CI, 54.2–90.0), and the 4-year DFS rate was 95.0% with VT-EBV-N (95% CI, 69.5–99.3) vs 56.3% with PMBCs (95% CI, 31.0–75.4) (hazard ratio [HR], 0.13; 95% CI, 0.02–1.02; p = 0.021). The overall survival (OS) rates were 100% with VT-EBV-N at 2- and 4-years vs 88.0% (95% CI, 67.3–96.0) and 83.8% (95% CI, 62.4–93.6) with PBMCs, respectively (p = 0.0205)."

ViGenCell stumbles on survival data as Korea's NK-T cell therapy hopes dim (Chosun Biz) - "According to the final phase 2 results for the immune-oncology cell therapy 'VT-EBV-N,' disclosed on the 24th, the primary endpoint of 2-year disease-free survival (DFS) was 95% in the treatment arm, an improvement over the control group (77.58%). No deaths occurred in the treatment arm during the trial, while multiple deaths were reported in the control group. However, the secondary endpoint of OS did not achieve statistical significance. While the mortality rate in the control group was 16% and there were no deaths in the treatment arm, the trial failed to prove a statistically meaningful difference."
