LOS ANGELES, Feb. 21, 2024 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Immix Biopharma, Inc. (Nasdaq: IMMX), a clinical-stage biopharmaceutical company trailblazing cell therapies in autoimmune disease, today announced its 12-month progress update including shareholder letter.

"The past 12 months have seen landmark achievements for Immix Biopharma, cementing our position as a leading cell therapy company in autoimmune disease. We successfully received U.S. FDA investigational new drug clearance for NXC-201. NXC-201 is the only CAR-T in AL Amyloidosis and is expanding into additional autoimmune indications, a $25 billion combined annual market segment, where limited treatments are available today. At the 65^th American Society of Hematology (ASH) annual meeting in December 2023, we presented clinical data from additional NXC-201 patients enrolled in our ongoing NEXICART-1 clinical trial, totaling 73 NXC-201 patients dosed to-date, demonstrating 100% and 95% overall response rates in relapsed/refractory AL Amyloidosis patients and relapsed/refractory multiple myeloma patients, respectively. We received U.S. FDA Orphan Drug Designation in both AL Amyloidosis and multiple myeloma, as well as EU Orphan Drug Designation for AL Amyloidosis. NXC-201 is the first and only ‘Single-Day CRS‘ CAR-T, a critical advancement for autoimmune diseases like AL Amyloidosis," said Ilya Rachman, MD PhD CEO Immix Biopharma. Gabriel Morris, CFO Immix Biopharma, added, "In the next 12 months, we plan to continue our approximately quarterly clinical data updates, presenting at premier academic forums, finalize the selection of our next autoimmune indication, and to dose U.S. patients with NXC-201. We are in an exciting position as the premier autoimmune CAR-T company with a robust clinical dataset. Top-tier U.S. clinical sites are currently being activated for NXC-201 dosing."

Immix Biopharma Annual Letter to Shareholders

Greetings and best in 2024 to you, colleagues and families from the Immix Biopharma Team. As we reflect on the last 12 months of progress, we wish to connect with you offering an update on Immix Biopharma. We express our deep appreciation for the patience of our shareholders throughout these impactful 12 months.

We are excited to share remarkable progress at Immix Biopharma. Our recent clinical trials for the groundbreaking NXC-201 CAR-T cell therapy have yielded promising results in treating relapsed/refractory AL Amyloidosis (r/r ALA) and relapsed/refractory multiple myeloma (r/r MM), for which NXC-201 has received US FDA Orphan Drug Designation (ODD) in both indications. NXC-201 has demonstrated favorable toxicity, promising clinical results and "Single-Day CRS", uniquely suited for dosing AL Amyloidosis and expanding into other autoimmune indications. These trials showcased high response rates and promising patient outcomes, solidifying our position as the premier autoimmune CAR-T company, with an unparalleled 73 patients treated to-date. A concise summary of our 2023 clinical results can be found on our "publications" section of our website under "65^th American Society of Hematology (ASH) Meeting December 2023." ASH is the global premier forum for presenting clinical results in blood diseases.

In addition, we plan to continue our success in the U.S., and in new autoimmune indications with high unmet medical need beyond r/r ALA and r/r MM. We recently received U.S. FDA IND (Investigational New Drug) approval in Q4 2023, and are initiating U.S. clinical studies. This achievement underscores our commitment to pioneering transformative therapies that redefine patient care and treatment paradigms. As a recognition of our cell therapy leadership, we were invited by the global investment community to present at the Bank of America Healthcare Trailblazers Conference in October and the JMP Securities Hematology and Oncology Summit in December.

We must credit our team's tireless efforts for their advancement of our clinical programs, and are grateful to our board of directors, scientific advisory board members, and team members who have supported Immix Biopharma along our journey to bring innovative cell therapies to deliver widely accessible cures. Patients are waiting!

We are grateful for the unwavering support of our investors, collaborators and the tireless effort of our team and look forward to providing ongoing updates during the next 12 months through investor communications, scientific symposia and medical meetings.

Best Regards,

Ilya Rachman, MD, PhD & Gabriel Morris
