Legend Biotech to Demonstrate Progress in Advancing Treatment Options for Patients with Multiple Myeloma at ASCO and EHA Annual Meetings
On May 16, 2023, Legend Biotech Corporation (“Legend Biotech” or the “Company”) issued a press release announcing that new and updated data from the CARTITUDE Clinical Development Program evaluating ciltacabtagene autoleucel (cilta-cel) will be presented at the 2023 American Society of Clinical Oncology (ASCO) Annual Meeting and the European Hematology Association’s (EHA) 2023 Hybrid Congress, which is attached to this Form 6-K as Exhibit 99.1.
Five-year follow-up data from Legend-2 (NCT03090659), an investigator-initiated trial that has been assessing a similar CAR construct since 2015, will also be presented at the meetings.
This report on Form 6-K, including Exhibit 99.1, is hereby incorporated by reference in the registration statements of Legend Biotech on Form F-3 (Nos. 333-257609 and 333-257625) and Form S-8 (No. 333-239478), to the extent not superseded by documents or reports subsequently filed.
Cautionary Note Regarding Forward-Looking Statements
Statements in this report on Form 6-K about future expectations, plans and prospects, as well as any other statements regarding matters that are not historical facts, constitute “forward-looking statements” within the meaning of The Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995. These statements include, but are not limited to, statements relating to CARVYKTI® (ciltacabtagene autoleucel) and expected results of clinical trials involving CARVYKTI®. The words “anticipate,” “believe,” “continue,” “could,” “estimate,” “expect,” “intend,” “may,” “plan,” “potential,” “predict,” “project,” “should,” “target,” “will,” “would” and similar expressions are intended to identify forward-looking statements, although not all forward-looking statements contain these identifying words. Actual results may differ materially from those indicated by such forward-looking statements as a result of various important factors. Legend Biotech’s expectations could be affected by, among other things, uncertainties involved in the development of new pharmaceutical products; unexpected clinical trial results, including as a result of additional analysis of existing clinical data or unexpected new clinical data; unexpected regulatory actions or delays, including requests for additional safety and/or efficacy data or analysis of data, or government regulation generally; unexpected delays as a result of actions undertaken, or failures to act, by our third party partners; uncertainties arising from challenges to Legend Biotech’s patent or other proprietary intellectual property protection, including the uncertainties involved in the U.S. litigation process; competition in general; government, industry, and general product pricing and other political pressures; the duration and severity of the COVID-19 pandemic and governmental and regulatory measures implemented in response to the evolving situation; as well as the other factors discussed in the “Risk Factors” section of Legend Biotech’s Annual Report on Form 20-F filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission on March 30, 2023. Should one or more of these risks or uncertainties materialize, or should underlying assumptions prove incorrect, actual results may vary materially from those described in this report on Form 6-K as anticipated, believed, estimated or expected. Any forward-looking statements contained in this report on Form 6-K speak only as of the date of this report on Form 6-K. Legend Biotech specifically disclaims any obligation to update any forward-looking statement, whether as a result of new information, future events or otherwise.
