WCLC 2025 | Early results from EVEREST-2 of A2B694, a CAR T therapy, in solid tumors

Salman Punekar, MD, NYU Langone, New York, NY, discusses initial findings from the Phase I/II EVEREST-2 trial (NCT06051695) of A2B694, a logic-gated Tmod CAR T therapy targeting mesothelin-expressing tumors with HLA-A*02 loss of heterozygosity. Patients with advanced cancers received A2B694 following lymphodepletion. Early data show manageable safety with no dose-limiting toxicities or cytokine release syndrome, with a partial response observed in one patient with non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC). This interview took place at 2025 World Conference on Lung Cancer (WCLC) in Barcelona, Spain.

Yeah, the EVEREST-2 trial is an innovative concept. So it utilizes a CAR T cell that has a dual approach, has an activating CAR against mesothelin, has a blocking CAR against HLA. And this Everest 2 trial is a phase one dose escalation trial. And today we’re presenting some efficacy data. We’re really excited to present a KRAS STK11 mutated patient who had a PR at three months...

We’re really excited to present a KRAS STK11 mutated patient who had a PR at three months. and we’ll be presenting further data at an upcoming congress.
