Estrella Immunopharma, Inc. (NASDAQ: ESLA) ("Estrella" or the "Company"), a clinical-stage biopharmaceutical company developing CD19 and CD22-targeted ARTEMIS® T-cell therapies to treat cancer and autoimmune diseases, today announced that the first patient has been successfully dosed in the dose-expansion phase of its ongoing STARLIGHT-1 Phase I/II clinical trial evaluating EB103, a CD19-redirected ARTEMIS® T-cell therapy, in patients with relapsed/refractory (R/R) B-cell non-Hodgkin’s lymphoma (NHL).

Estrella’s dosing of the first patient in the dose-expansion cohort follows encouraging efficacy data from the dose-escalation cohort. At the 6-month assessment of evaluable Phase I patients with no CNS involvement, all patients who achieved complete response (CR) remained in CR.
