Innovation Frontline | Milestones Achieved Rapidly: Clinical Enrollment Launched for ALA & MN Indications, Two Studies Accepted by EHA 2026
Fosun Kairos, a subsidiary of Fosun Pharma, has
recently notched a string of key breakthroughs in cell therapy, covering
accelerated clinical advancement and growing international academic
recognition, marking the continuous rapid progress of the Company’s innovative
pipeline.
In terms of clinical development, FKC289, our autologous dual-target BCMA/CD19
CAR-T candidate, has secured multiple significant milestones. On April 22, the
national investigator meeting for its Phase I/II trial in relapsed/refractory
primary light chain amyloidosis (R/R ALA) was successfully convened.
Participants discussed trial protocols and detailed implementation plans,
reaching consensus on multi-center collaborative research. Shortly after, the
national investigator meeting and study initiation ceremony for FKC289
targeting relapsed/refractory membranous nephropathy (R/R MN) were held on
April 29, signifying its rapid foray into the field of autoimmune diseases.
Patient enrollment for the above trials is now well underway.
Academically, two latest research works have been accepted for presentation at
the 31st European Hematology Association Annual Congress (EHA 2026). One
centers on the ctDNA-guided strategy for early second Axi-cel infusion,
exploring precise intervention approaches for relapsed/refractory large B-cell
lymphoma. The other focuses on evaluating the safety and efficacy of FKC289,
our autologous dual-target BCMA/CD19 CAR-T therapy, in patients with
relapsed/refractory primary light chain amyloidosis (R/R ALA).
EHA 2026 will be grandly held in Stockholm, Sweden from June 11 to 14, 2026
(local time). As one of the most influential academic conferences in global
hematology, the EHA Annual Congress serves not only as a premier platform for
presenting cutting-edge research outcomes, but also as a key hub for driving
advances in diagnosis and management and promoting international collaboration.
The acceptance of the two studies demonstrates Fosun Kairos’ sustained
commitment to exploring innovative mechanisms and advancing clinical
translation, and will enable our research achievements to gain wider exposure
and recognition on the global academic stage.
Details of Accepted Studies
Axi-cel (CD19 CAR-T)
CD19 CAR-T therapy has substantially improved treatment outcomes for patients
with relapsed or refractory large B-cell lymphoma (R/R LBCL). Nevertheless,
patients who fail to achieve deep remission after the first infusion still face
high relapse risks. Previous clinical data indicates that second-line CAR-T
infusion administered after disease relapse or progression yields limited
salvage efficacy. This study aims to evaluate the efficacy, safety and cellular
kinetic characteristics of early second CD19 CAR-T infusion as consolidation
therapy in R/R LBCL patients who obtain partial response rather than deep
remission after initial infusion.
Abstract Title: A Prospective, Single-Arm Clinical Study of ctDNA-Guided Early
Second Infusion of Axi-Cel in Relapsed/Refractory Large B-Cell Lymphoma
Presentation Type: Oral Presentation
Abstract ID: EHA-5136
Presentation Date: June 11-14, 2026

FKC289 (BCMA/CD19 CAR-T)
There remains a huge unmet clinical need in the treatment of
relapsed/refractory primary light chain amyloidosis (R/R ALA). As an autologous
dual-target CAR-T therapy targeting both BCMA and CD19, FKC289 can profoundly
deplete pathogenic plasma cells and/or B cells by binding to their surface
antigens. It inhibits the production of monoclonal immunoglobulin light chains
and misfolded amyloid proteins, so as to alleviate tissue and organ damage.
This investigator-initiated first-in-human Phase I trial (IIT,
ChiCTR2500100410) is designed to assess the safety and preliminary efficacy of
dual BCMA/CD19-targeted CAR-T FKC289 in patients with R/R ALA.

The simultaneous progress of multiple accepted studies and clinical trials
further validates Fosun Kairos’ systematic capabilities spanning fundamental
research and clinical application in the CAR-T sector.
Moving forward, Fosun Kairos will continue to focus on unmet clinical needs,
accelerate the development of innovative therapies and improvement of their
accessibility, and advance more breakthrough outcomes to benefit patients.
