It has been hypothesized that allogeneic, hypoimmune (HIP) iPSC-derived or donor-derived islet grafts could provide a new and safe therapeutic alternative for the treatment of type 1 diabetes mellitus (T1DM). Researchers from Sana Biotechnology Inc. and affiliated organizations have published preclinical data from studies further assessing this novel strategy in nonhuman primates (NHPs).
Medigene AG has selected initial clinical indications for its lead candidate, MDG-1015, specifically gastric cancer, ovarian cancer, myxoid/round cell liposarcoma and synovial sarcoma.
Acepodia Inc. has obtained FDA clearance of its IND application for ACE-2016, an allogeneic γδ2 T-cell therapy for the treatment of epidermal growth factor receptor (EGFR)-expressing malignancies in patients with solid tumors.
Amphiphile (AMP)-modification of peptide antigens and molecular adjuvants has been previously demonstrated to enhance lymphatic delivery and retention, resulting in potent expansion of cognate endogenous T-cell responses.
Bluerock Therapeutics LP, a wholly owned, independently operated subsidiary of Bayer AG, has exercised its option to exclusively license OpCT-001, an induced pluripotent stem cell (iPSC) derived cell therapy candidate for the treatment of primary photoreceptor diseases, from Fujifilm Cellular Dynamics Inc. and Opsis Therapeutics LLC.
NK Celltech Co. Ltd. has announced FDA clearance for a clinical trial of NK-010, a nongenetically modified allogeneic peripheral blood natural killer (NK) cell drug.
Tr1x Inc. announced a $75 million series A financing to advance universal allogeneic regulatory T (Treg) and chimeric antigen receptor (CAR)-Treg cell therapies into the clinic to treat autoimmune and inflammatory diseases.
Factor Bioscience Inc. has been awarded a grant by the U.S. Department of Defense to develop next-generation cell therapy candidates using Factor's patented mRNA, cell-reprogramming, and gene-editing technologies.
Iaso Biotherapeutics Co. Ltd. has established new collaborations with Umoja Biopharma Inc. for the development and commercialization of novel ex vivo and in vivo cell and gene therapies. These collaborations seek to advance off-the-shelf cell and gene therapies with applications in oncology and immunology.
