    Treatment effects sustained through long-term follow-up of beyond 10 years in the earliest treated patients (n=2); 81% of participants have >5 years of follow-up

    bluebird bio, Inc. (NASDAQ:BLUE) today announced updated data from patients with beta-thalassemia who require regular blood transfusions treated with betibeglogene autotemcel (beti-cel, approved commercially as ZYNTEGLO™) in clinical studies. The data was presented today at the 66th American Society of Hematology (ASH) Annual Meeting and Exposition.

    "Updated follow-up data of up to 10 years showed that patients treated with beti-cel in clinical trials experienced durable transfusion independence and normal or near-normal hemoglobin, regardless of genotype and age, and a continued favorable safety profile", said Richard Colvin, M.D., Ph.D., chief medical officer, bluebird bio. "We are deeply grateful for the ongoing commitment of our investigators, patients, and study participants. Our collective efforts are not only advancing the field of gene therapy but also providing new hope and possibilities for individuals with severe genetic diseases."

    "Data at ASH demonstrate the durability of beti-cel through 10 years of long-term follow-up, giving additional confidence in that the transformational outcomes observed in parent studies are sustained over time," said Alexis Thompson, MD, MPH, Chief of the Division of Hematology at Children's Hospital of Philadelphia, which is a Qualified Treatment Center for ZYNTEGLO. "These long-term data demonstrate beti-cel's continued positive impact on iron management outcomes over time, which can help inform treatment decisions by clinicians who are now using this therapy in the real-world setting."

    Betibeglogene Autotemcel (beti-cel) Gene Addition Therapy results in durable Hemoglobin A (HbA) Production with up to 10 Years of Follow-Up in Participants with Transfusion-Dependent β-Thalassemia (Poster #2194)

    Long-term outcomes with beti-cel in adult and pediatric patients with TDT were presented in a poster session. The data focused on 63 adult and pediatric study participants who had received beti-cel in a Phase 1/2 or Phase 3 study. Two participants had 10 years of follow-up, and 51 (81.0%) participants had 5 or more years of follow-up. Additionally, iron status was assessed in study participants who achieved TI and discontinued chelation therapy. Results showed that majority of participants treated with beti-cel achieved TI. All participants achieved platelet and neutrophil engraftment. Specific findings showed:

    • Of 63 patients, 52 (90.2% in Phase 3 studies and 68.2% in Phase 1/2 studies) achieved TI. All except one patient maintained TI through last follow-up. The median weighted average hemoglobin during TI was 10.2 mg/dL for Phase 1/2 studies and 11.2 mg/dL for Phase 3 studies. Achievement and maintenance of TI and median weighted average hemoglobin were similar across ages and genotypes.
    • Study participants treated with beti-cel who achieved and maintained TI demonstrated effective restoration of iron homeostasis over time and reduced iron management burden. Among participants who achieved TI, improvements in serum ferritin and liver iron concentration were sustained through month 60. 28/37 (75.7%) study participants who achieved TI in Phase 3 studies are no longer undergoing iron chelation therapy.
    • Both adult and pediatric health-related quality of life scores (HRQoL) remained above the normative population mean up to 60 months. All 26 participants who achieved TI and completed a questionnaire reported an overall benefit with beti-cel.
    • The safety profile was consistent with known side effects of hematopoietic stem cell collection and the busulfan conditioning regimen. None of the study participants had a fatal event. No beti-cel–related serious adverse events were reported more than 2 years after infusion through last follow-up. No malignancies, insertional oncogenesis or vector-derived replication-competent lentivirus were reported in any study participants.

    Beti-cel was approved by the FDA in August 2022 and is commercially available in the United States as ZYNTEGLO.

    About ZYNTEGLO® (betibeglogene autotemcel) or beti-cel

    ZYNTEGLO is a first-in-class, one-time ex-vivo LVV gene therapy approved for the treatment of beta-thalassemia in adult and pediatric patients who require regular red blood cell transfusions. ZYNTEGLO works by adding functional copies of a modified form of the beta-globin gene (βA-T87Q-globin gene) into a patient's own hematopoietic (blood) stem and progenitor cells to enable the production of a modified functional adult hemoglobin (HbAT87Q). Once a patient has the βA-T87Q-globin gene, they have the potential to increase ZYNTEGLO-derived adult hemoglobin (HbAT87Q) and total hemoglobin to normal or near normal levels that can eliminate the need for regular red blood cell (RBC) transfusions.

    Indication

    ZYNTEGLO is indicated for the treatment of adult and pediatric patients with beta-thalassemia who require regular red blood cell (RBC) transfusions.

    Important Safety Information

    Delayed Platelet Engraftment

    Delayed platelet engraftment has been observed with ZYNTEGLO treatment. Bleeding risk is increased prior to platelet engraftment and may continue after engraftment in patients with prolonged thrombocytopenia; 15% of patients had ≥ Grade 3 decreased platelets on or after Day 100.

    Patients should be made aware of the risk of bleeding until platelet recovery has been achieved. Monitor patients for thrombocytopenia and bleeding according to standard guidelines. Conduct frequent platelet counts until platelet engraftment and platelet recovery are achieved. Perform blood cell count determination and other appropriate testing whenever clinical symptoms suggestive of bleeding arise.

    Risk of Neutrophil Engraftment Failure

    There is a potential risk of neutrophil engraftment failure after treatment with ZYNTEGLO. Neutrophil engraftment failure is defined as failure to achieve three consecutive absolute neutrophil counts (ANC) ≥ 500 cells/microliter obtained on different days by Day 43 after infusion of ZYNTEGLO. Monitor neutrophil counts until engraftment has been achieved. If neutrophil engraftment failure occurs in a patient treated with ZYNTEGLO, provide rescue treatment with the back-up collection of CD34+ cells.

    Risk of Insertional Oncogenesis

    There is a potential risk of LVV mediated insertional oncogenesis after treatment with ZYNTEGLO.

    Patients treated with ZYNTEGLO may develop hematologic malignancies and should be monitored lifelong. Monitor for hematologic malignancies with a complete blood count (with differential) at Month 6 and Month 12 and then at least annually for at least 15 years after treatment with ZYNTEGLO, and integration site analysis at Months 6, 12, and as warranted.

    In the event that a malignancy occurs, contact bluebird bio at 1 833-999-6378 for reporting and to obtain instructions on collection of samples for testing.

    Hypersensitivity Reactions

    Allergic reactions may occur with the infusion of ZYNTEGLO. The dimethyl sulfoxide (DMSO) in ZYNTEGLO may cause hypersensitivity reactions, including anaphylaxis.

    Anti-retroviral and Hydroxyurea Use

    Patients should not take prophylactic HIV anti-retroviral medications or hydroxyurea for at least one month prior to mobilization, or for the expected duration for elimination of the medications, and until all cycles of apheresis are completed. If a patient requires anti-retrovirals for HIV prophylaxis, then confirm a negative test for HIV before beginning mobilization and apheresis of CD34+ cells.

    Interference with Serology Testing

    Patients who have received ZYNTEGLO are likely to test positive by polymerase chain reaction (PCR) assays for HIV due to integrated BB305 LVV proviral DNA, resulting in a false-positive test for HIV. Therefore, patients who have received ZYNTEGLO should not be screened for HIV infection using a PCR‑based assay.

    Adverse Reactions

    The most common non-laboratory adverse reactions (≥20%) were mucositis, febrile neutropenia, vomiting, pyrexia, alopecia, epistaxis, abdominal pain, musculoskeletal pain, cough, headache, diarrhea, rash, constipation, nausea, decreased appetite, pigmentation disorder, and pruritus. The most common Grade 3 or 4 laboratory abnormalities (>50%) include neutropenia, thrombocytopenia, leukopenia, anemia, and lymphopenia.

    Drug Interactions

    Drug-drug interactions between iron chelators and the myeloablative conditioning agent must be considered. Iron chelators should be discontinued at least 7 days prior to initiation of conditioning. The prescribing information for the iron chelator(s) and the myeloablative conditioning agent should be consulted for the recommendations regarding co-administration with CYP3A substrates.

    Some iron chelators are myelosuppressive. After ZYNTEGLO infusion, avoid use of these iron chelators for 6 months. If iron chelation is needed, consider administration of non-myelosuppressive iron chelators. Phlebotomy can be used in lieu of iron chelation, when appropriate.

    Pregnancy/Lactation

    Advise patients of the risks associated with conditioning agents, including on pregnancy and fertility. ZYNTEGLO should not be administered to women who are pregnant, and pregnancy after ZYNTEGLO infusion should be discussed with the treating physician.

    ZYNTEGLO is not recommended for women who are breastfeeding, and breastfeeding after ZYNTEGLO infusion should be discussed with the treating physician.

    Females and Males of Reproductive Potential

    A negative serum pregnancy test must be confirmed prior to the start of mobilization and re-confirmed prior to conditioning procedures and before ZYNTEGLO administration.

    Women of childbearing potential and men capable of fathering a child should use an effective method of contraception (intra uterine device or combination of hormonal and barrier contraception) from start of mobilization through at least 6 months after administration of ZYNTEGLO.

    Advise patients of the option to cryopreserve semen or ova before treatment if appropriate.

    Please see full Prescribing Information for ZYNTEGLO.
