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)

Frequently asked questions about KITE-753

What is KITE-753 used for?

KITE-753 is an investigational small molecule being studied for the treatment of relapsed or refractory large B-cell lymphoma. It is currently in Phase 3 clinical development for this indication, specifically in patients who have not responded to or have relapsed after first-line therapy.

Who makes KITE-753?

KITE-753 is being developed by Gilead Sciences, Inc., a biopharmaceutical company traded on the NASDAQ under the ticker symbol GILD. The company is conducting a Phase 3 clinical trial to evaluate the drug's efficacy in patients with relapsed or refractory large B-cell lymphoma.

What phase is KITE-753 in?

KITE-753 is currently in Phase 3 clinical development. It is an investigational drug, meaning it has not yet been approved by regulatory authorities. The ongoing Phase 3 trial is actively recruiting participants to evaluate its efficacy compared to an existing treatment for relapsed or refractory large B-cell lymphoma.

What clinical trials is KITE-753 in?

KITE-753 is being studied in a single Phase 3 clinical trial with the identifier NCT07479797. This randomized, controlled trial is comparing KITE-753 against axicabtagene ciloleucel in participants with relapsed or refractory large B-cell lymphoma after first-line therapy. The trial is recruiting 550 participants across the United States, Australia, and Canada.

Is KITE-753 the same as axicabtagene ciloleucel?

No, KITE-753 is not the same as axicabtagene ciloleucel. KITE-753 is a small molecule, while axicabtagene ciloleucel is a CAR T-cell therapy. The two are being compared directly in a Phase 3 clinical trial to evaluate which is more effective in treating relapsed or refractory large B-cell lymphoma after first-line therapy.
