CAMBRIDGE, Mass.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Magenta Therapeutics (Nasdaq: MGTA), a clinical-stage biotechnology company developing novel medicines to bring the curative power of stem cell transplants to more patients, today announced positive preliminary results from its Phase 2 clinical trial of MGTA-145 plus plerixafor in patients with multiple myeloma, which were accepted for presentation at the European Hematology Association (EHA) Congress, to be held virtually June 9-17, 2021. Magenta also provided initial direction regarding the acute myeloid leukemia (AML) and myelodysplastic syndromes (MDS) patients it expects to evaluate in its planned clinical trial with MGTA-117.
Multiple Myeloma Phase 2 Clinical Trial
The investigator-initiated, 25-patient Phase 2 open-label clinical trial, ongoing at Stanford University School of Medicine, is designed to evaluate the ability of MGTA-145, in combination with plerixafor, to mobilize and collect stem cells for autologous stem cell transplant in patients with multiple myeloma.
Preliminary results:
This study has broad and clinically representative inclusion criteria and is enrolling patients that represent the general transplant eligible population of patients with multiple myeloma, some of whom may have additional risk factors that may impact stem cell collection. Risk factors can include myeloma-directed therapies that are known to impact stem cell collection, previous malignancy treated with chemotherapy and/or radiation and other co-morbid conditions. Mobilization agents may be less effective in patients with multiple risk factors.
These preliminary results are encouraging, given the expected mobilization challenges present in the multiple myeloma patient population, said Jason Gardner, D.Phil., President and Chief Executive Officer, Magenta Therapeutics. A patients ability to mobilize is highly contingent on a variety of risk factors, which is particularly relevant for blood cancer patients. These initial results provide insight into MGTA-145 plus plerixafors ability to improve the approach to mobilization and collection, and its potential to be a first-line mobilization drug in this and other disease areas.
Based on this initial data set, MGTA-145 combined with plerixafor has shown promising results for rapid stem cell mobilization in patients with multiple myeloma, said John Davis Jr., M.D., M.P.H., M.S., Head of Research & Development and Chief Medical Officer, Magenta Therapeutics.
This study is being conducted at Stanford University School of Medicine and is led by Surbhi Sidana, M.D., Assistant Professor of Medicine in the Division of Blood and Marrow Transplantation and Cellular Therapy at Stanford Medicine.
EHA Poster Presentation (June 11, 2021)Title: Phase 2 Study of MGTA-145 + Plerixafor for Rapid and Reliable Hematopoietic Stem Cell (HSC) Mobilization for Autologous Stem Cell Transplant in Multiple MyelomaAuthor: Surbhi Sidana, M.D., Assistant Professor of Medicine in the Division of Blood and Marrow Transplantation and Cellular Therapy, Stanford University School of MedicineDate/Time: E-posters to be available in the EHA Congress virtual platform Friday, June 11 at 3:00am EDT / 9:00am CEST.
This trial continues to enroll patients and Magenta expects to report additional data at the EHA Congress, as well as at the American Society of Clinical Oncology (ASCO) Annual Meeting, to be held virtually June 4-8, 2021.
Conference Call & Webcast Details
The Company will host a conference call and webcast today at 4:30pm EDT to review the preliminary results from the multiple myeloma Phase 2 clinical trial. The live webcast of the conference call may be accessed by visiting the "Events & Presentations" page in the Investors & Media section of the Magenta Therapeutics website at https://investor.magentatx.com/events-and-presentations. The live teleconference may be accessed by dialing (866) 688-5232 (domestic) or (409) 217-8328 (international) and entering conference ID: 7273937.

Planned MGTA-117 Clinical Study
Magenta is on track to file an Investigational New Drug (IND) application for MGTA-117, a potential first-in-class drug for targeted patient conditioning, in June 2021. In preparation for the filing, Magenta has finalized its proposed clinical trial study design which incorporates FDA feedback from pre-IND communications. Magenta anticipates starting the Phase 1/2 dose escalation study by evaluating the safety, pharmacokinetics and pharmacodynamics of MGTA-117 as a single agent in a relapsed/refractory AML and MDS patient population. Magenta will also monitor for anti-tumor activity in this patient subset, which is a population that is not traditionally eligible for stem cell transplant. Magenta expects to work with the FDA on an ongoing basis to transition the study to transplant-eligible patients after adequate data related to the safety, pharmacokinetics and pharmacodynamics of MGTA-117 have been collected in the relapsed/refractory AML and MDS patient population.
