FDA grants accelerated approval to afamitresgene autoleucel, an engineered cell therapy, for synovial sarcoma

Regulatory status: FDA ApprovedEvidence stage: Emerging Clinical
Cancer type
Sarcoma
Population
Adults (later reportedly expanded to include patients age 12 and older) with unresectable or metastatic synovial sarcoma who have received prior chemotherapy, are positive for HLA-A*02:01P, -A*02:02P, -A*02:03P, or -A*02:06P, and whose tumor is confirmed MAGE-A4-positive by an FDA-approved or cleared companion diagnostic — a genetically restricted population; only a minority of synovial sarcoma patients meet both the HLA and MAGE-A4 requirements. Efficacy reported here is from the 44-patient efficacy-evaluable analysis within a 52-patient enrolled cohort (SPEARHEAD-1 Cohort 1).
