Item 7.01 Regulation FD Disclosure.

On November 3, 2025, Cullinan Therapeutics, Inc. (the "Company") issued a press release announcing that the Company is presenting new clinical data from its Phase 1 study of CLN-049 in patients with relapsed/refractory ("r/r") acute myeloid leukemia ("AML") and myelodysplastic syndrome ("MDS") at the 67th American Society of Hematology Annual Meeting and Exposition (the "ASH Annual Meeting") in December. A copy of the press release is furnished as Exhibit 99.1 to this Current Report on Form 8-K and is incorporated herein by reference.

 

The information in this report furnished pursuant to Item 7.01, including Exhibit 99.1 attached hereto, shall not be deemed "filed" for the purposes of Section 18 of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the "Exchange Act"), or otherwise subject to the liabilities of that section. It may only be incorporated by reference in another filing under the Exchange Act or the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, if such subsequent filing specifically references the information furnished pursuant to Item 7.01 of this report.

Item 8.01 Other Events.

On November 3, 2025, the Company announced new clinical data from its Phase 1 study of CLN-049 in patients with r/r AML and MDS. The Company will present the data at the ASH Annual Meeting in December.

 

Efficacy Results

 

As of the June 2025 data cutoff, 40 patients (34 AML patients and six MDS patients) were enrolled without regard to FLT3 cell surface expression across seven cohorts (target dose range 1.5-12 μg/kg), and 29 patients with AML were efficacy evaluable (≥1 response assessment). Patients with AML had received a median of two prior therapies (range: 1-8).

 

For AML, response was assessed using ELN 2022 criteria. Efficacy endpoints include complete response ("CR") rate, composite complete response ("CRc") rate and overall response rate ("ORR").

 

CLN-049 achieved promising anti-leukemic activity in this heavily pretreated AML population:

Anti-leukemic activity was observed at target doses ≥6 μg/kg (n=23, all AML), with a CRc rate of 30%, and ORR of 57%.
At the highest target dose studied thus far of 12 μg/kg (n=13), CRc rate was 31% and ORR was 69%.
In 9/23 patients achieving bone marrow blasts <5%, 33% (n=3) patients were MRD negative by flow cytometry; relapse was not observed in MRD-negative patients, and one patient has remained on study for >6 months.
Responses were observed in patients with AML regardless of baseline genetic risk. Notably, among five patients with TP53-mutated AML treated at 12 μg/kg, four responses (2 CRh, 2 MLFS) were observed.

Dose escalation continues in this ongoing Phase 1 study.

 

Safety Results

As of the June 2025 data cutoff, the data indicate a manageable safety profile in a broad population of patients with r/r AML and MDS (n=40):

The most common treatment-emergent adverse events ("TEAEs") included cytokine release syndrome ("CRS") (40%), infusion-related reaction (35%), and febrile neutropenia, pneumonia, stomatitis, white blood cell count decrease (17.5% each).
All CRS events were limited to Grade 1 or 2; the majority occurred after a step-up dose ("SUD") or target dose 1. One case of Grade 1 ICANS was reported in association with Grade 2 CRS after a 6 μg/kg SUD. Neither CRS nor ICANS led to treatment discontinuation.
Grade ≥3 TEAEs occurring in >10% of patients included febrile neutropenia, white blood cell count decrease (17.5% each), and pneumonia (12.5%).
