Study Endpoints

Primary Endpoints

Proportion of Participants in Complete Response (CR) at Month 6
Month 6

Participants who would be in CR at Month 6 postinfusion of KITE-753 or axi-cel and prior to subsequent anti-lymphoma therapy. This will be assessed by the Lugano Classification by the blinded central assessment.

Event-free survival (EFS)
Up to 36 months

EFS is defined as the time from randomization to the earliest occurrence of the following EFS events: a) Death due to any cause, b) Disease progression/relapse per blinded central assessment, and c) Initiation of any non-protocol specified subsequent anti-lymphoma therapy for the treatment of residual disease (including stable disease and partial response as per International Working Group (IWG) Lugano Response Criteria for Malignant Lymphoma).

Secondary Endpoints

Objective Response Rate (ORR)
Up to 36 months
Progression-Free Survival (PFS)
Up to 36 months
Duration of Response (DOR)
Up to 36 months

Frequently asked questions about KITE-753

What is KITE-753 used for?

KITE-753 is being developed for the treatment of relapsed or refractory large B-cell lymphoma, an aggressive blood cancer, in patients who have already received first-line therapy. It is an investigational therapy and has not been approved for commercial use.

What does KITE-753 target?

KITE-753 targets CD19, a protein found on the surface of B cells, including the malignant B cells that drive large B-cell lymphoma. By binding CD19, the therapy is designed to act on those cancerous B cells. It is a small molecule directed at this CD19 target.

Who is developing KITE-753?

KITE-753 is being developed by Gilead Sciences, Inc., which trades on the Nasdaq under the ticker GILD. Gilead is the sponsor advancing the program for relapsed or refractory large B-cell lymphoma.

What phase is KITE-753 in?

KITE-753 is in Phase 3 clinical development. It is an investigational therapy and has not been approved by the FDA. The Phase 3 program is evaluating it in patients with relapsed or refractory large B-cell lymphoma after first-line therapy.

What clinical trials is KITE-753 in?

KITE-753 is being studied in the Phase 3 trial NCT07479797, titled a study evaluating the efficacy of KITE-753 versus axicabtagene ciloleucel in participants with relapsed or refractory large B-cell lymphoma after first-line therapy. The trial is currently recruiting and plans to enroll 550 participants across the United States, Australia, Belgium, Canada, France, Germany, Japan, Spain, and the United Kingdom.
