LB2102 is an experimental CAR-T cell therapy for small cell lung cancer, made from a patient's own immune cells and aimed at the protein DLL3. Legend Biotech licensed it to Novartis in November 2023.
LB2102 is Legend Biotech's autologous CAR-T cell therapy directed at DLL3. On 13 November 2023 Legend announced an exclusive global licence giving Novartis worldwide rights to develop, manufacture and sell its DLL3 CAR-T therapies, including LB2102, with USD 100 million upfront; Novartis may make them on its T-Charge manufacturing platform, and Legend was to run the US phase 1 trial. The FDA cleared the investigational new drug application in 2022 and granted orphan drug designation in 2023. The phase 1 trial (NCT05680922), sponsored by Legend Biotech USA, started in July 2023 in extensive-stage small cell lung cancer and large cell neuroendocrine carcinoma of the lung, and the registry now lists it as active but no longer recruiting. No results are recorded here.
A patient's own T cells are collected and engineered with a chimeric antigen receptor that recognises DLL3, a protein on small cell lung cancer cells, then infused back to attack the cancer. Connects to DLL3.
