The safety profile of GC012F was consistent with previous findings with mostly low grade of cytokine release syndrome (CRS) (Grade 0-2 (93%)). No Grade 4 or 5 CRS, or any Grade immune effector cell-associated neurotoxicity syndrome (ICANS) were observed. Patients continue to be monitored for safety and efficacy including best overall response and duration of response.
Gracell will also present as an oral abstract presentation the updated results from this IIT evaluating GC012F for the treatment of RRMM patients at the

About FasTCAR
CAR-T cells manufactured on Gracell's proprietary FasTCAR platform appear younger, less exhausted and show enhanced proliferation, persistence, bone marrow migration and tumor cell clearance activities as demonstrated in preclinical studies. With next-day manufacturing, FasTCAR is able to significantly improve cell production efficiency which may result in meaningful cost savings, and, together with fast turnaround time, enables enhanced accessibility of cell therapies for cancer patients.
