Innovation Frontier | Five Latest Achievements in China's Cell Therapy Accepted by ASGCT 2026, to Be Released Soon
The 29th Annual Meeting of the American Society of Gene & Cell Therapy (ASGCT 2026), the world's largest academic conference in gene and cell therapy, will be held in Boston, USA from May 12 to 16, 2026. It provides an international platform for participants to present the latest developments in gene and cell therapy and to engage in critical discussions.
Recently, five of China's latest research achievements in cell therapy have been accepted by ASGCT 2026. At this conference, Fosun Kairos, a holding subsidiary of Fosun Pharma will showcase three innovative products with 'first in class' or 'best in class' potential—FKC118 (enhanced CD19/CD20 CAR-T), FKC289 (BCMA/CD19 CAR-T manufactured using the innovative Fosunova-T platform), and FKC876 (Axicabtagene Ciloleucel Injection, CD19 CAR-T)—in collaboration with Ruijin Hospital affiliated with Shanghai Jiao Tong University School of Medicine. This joint presentation will highlight the latest breakthrough research findings, fully demonstrating Fosun Kairos's innovative breakthroughs and R&D strength in CAR-T cell therapy.
Five Latest Research Achievements To Be Presented at ASGCT 2026
FKC118(Enhanced CD19/CD20 CAR-T)
FKC118 is an enhanced autologous dual CAR-T product targeting both CD19 and CD20. Its dual-targeted CAR structure effectively mitigates the risk of relapse due to antigen escape. The innovative and optimized enhancement elements further boost the in vivo expansion and persistence of T cells, reducing the risk of relapse caused by diminished T cell function. This product is anticipated to deliver more durable and effective clinical benefits.
Abstract Title:An enhanced dual-targeting CD19/CD20 chimeric antigen receptor T cell therapy for B-cell malignancies
Presentation Type:Poster
Abstract Number:ASGCT1169
Presentation Dates:May 11-15, 2026
Principal Investigators:Hai-Hua Gu, Rui-Na He, Wei-Wei Zhang, Ping Tan, Li-Yuan Jin
FKC289(BCMA/CD19 CAR-T manufactured using the innovative Fosunova-T platform)
This autologous dual-targeted CAR-T, manufactured by the innovative Fosunova-T platform, achieves deep and sustained remission in MM, ALA, MN and other autoimmune disorders, and it is expected to provide more efficient, safer, and standardized solutions for autoimmune diseases.
Abstract Title:Membranous Nephropathy Meets a Novel Anti-CD19 & Anti-BCMA Dual CAR-T Therapy that’s a First in Human Clinical Performance and Manufactured Using an Innovative Fosunova-T Platform
Presentation Type:Poster
Abstract Numbe:ASGCT1773
Presentation Dates:May 11-15, 2026
Principal Investigators:Wen-Shi Wang, Xi-Lin Chen, Yong Yang, Jian Zhang, Li Hou, He Xin, Li-Shen Wang, Ai-Dong Shan, Xiao-Chen Wang, Wen-Cui Chen, Jin-Zhou Guo, Xiao-Mei Wu, Xiang-Hua Huang, Zhi-Hong Liu
FKC289(Clinical Progress on MN FKC289-1)
As a BCMA&CD19 dual autologous CAR-T product, FKC289 achieves profound depletion of pathogenic plasma cells and/or B cells by simultaneously binding to BCMA and CD19 antigens. This mechanism enables treatment of plasma cell disorders and/or B cell-mediated autoimmune diseases. This pioneering study demonstrates initial efficacy and manageable safety in applying FKC289 to primary relapsed/refractory membranous nephropathy (MN), offering potential therapeutic benefits to broader patient populations.
Abstract Title:Efficacy and Safety of FKC289, a BCMACD19 dualtargeted CART therapy for refractory or relapsed PLA2R-associated Membranous Nephropathy
Presentation Type:Poster
Abstract Number:ASGCT1793
Presentation Dates:May 11-15, 2026
Principal Investigators:Xiang-Hua Huang, Wen-Cui Chen, Wei-Wei Xu, Jin-Zhou Guo, Xiao-Mei Wu, Da-Chang Chen, Wen-Hao Chen, Ai-Dong Shan, Yong Yang, Wen-Shi Wang, Zi-Song Zhou, Chris Wang, Wen Shi, Zhi-Hong Liu
Ruijin Hospital affiliated with Shanghai Jiao Tong University School of Medicine
TP53 mutation status does not impact CD19 CAR-T therapy efficacy or safety in the overall population; however, further analyses preliminarily suggest differential outcomes may arise from distinct co-stimulatory domains.
Abstract Title:Impact of TP53 mutation on CD19-Chimeric Antigen Receptor T-Cell Therapy in Large B-Cell Lymphoma
Presentation Type: Poster
Abstract Number:ASGCT1149
Presentation Dates:May 11-15, 2026
Principal Investigators:Ling-Shuang Sheng, Rong Shen, Zi-Xun Yan, Jing-Hua Zhao, Wei-Li Zhao, Li Wang
Ruijin Hospital affiliated with Shanghai Jiao Tong University School of Medicine
For patients with relapsed/refractory large B-cell lymphoma (R/R LBCL), bridging and immune maintenance therapy strategies, stratified by baseline tumor burden, can induce deeper early remission after CAR-T therapy, resulting in sustained disease control.
Abstract Title:Tumor Burden-Adapted Bridging Therapy Improves CD19 CAR-T Outcomes in Relapsed or Refractory Large B-cell Lymphoma: A Phase II, Single-Center Prospective Study
Presentation Type:Poster
Abstract Number:ASGCT720
