Vycellix Inc. has successfully completed preclinical development for its universal cell engineering platform (VY-UC) and will now seek clinical trial clearance in Sweden to begin a phase I study of VNK-101, an allogeneic natural killer (NK) cell therapy engineered with VY-UC for relapsed or refractory multiple myeloma.
Fibrobiologics Inc. has received public and private Human Research Ethics Committee (HREC) approvals in Australia for a phase I/II trial evaluating CYWC-628 for the treatment of refractory diabetic foot ulcers.
Antengene Corp. Ltd. has outlined progress in its early-stage pipeline. The company has leveraged its Antengager T-cell engager (TCE) platform for the discovery of multiple investigational programs.
T-knife Therapeutics Inc. has filed a clinical trial application (CTA) to initiate a phase I trial of TK-6302, a PRAME-targeted T-cell receptor (TCR) T-cell therapy in solid tumors. Pending CTA approval, the ATLAS trial is planned to begin next year.
Captain T Cell GmbH has successfully closed an equity financing round to support its T-cell receptor (TCR) T-cell therapies for solid tumors. The company’s autologous lead program, CTC-127, is a best-in-class TCR T-cell therapy targeting MAGE-A4-positive solid tumors and is expected to enter clinical trials in early 2027.
Brainxell Inc. has reported preclinical data demonstrating efficacy of BXT-110, an autologous induced pluripotent stem cell (iPSC)-derived neuronal therapy for Parkinson’s disease.
Researchers at the University of California, Los Angeles (UCLA), have developed a new type of allogeneic immune cell therapy that demonstrated potent antitumor activity against triple-negative breast cancer (TNBC) in preclinical studies.
In a recent publication in iScience, researchers from Peking University First Hospital investigated the therapeutic potential of SLC7A11 CAR T therapy for solid tumors, particularly colorectal and pancreatic cancers.
Durable reprogramming of human T cells may now be possible thanks to a new technique based on the CRISPRoff and CRISPRon methodology. Researchers from the Arc Institute, Gladstone Institutes, and the University of California San Francisco (UCSF) have stably silenced or activated genes in this type of immune cell without cutting or altering its DNA, making T cells more resistant, active, and effective against tumors.
