A Phase I Study of Multiple doses of NSC-Based Oncolytic Virotherapy Administered Intracerebrally to Patients with Recurrent High-Grade Gliomas
Therapeutic Candidate or Device Neural stem cells that are genetically engineered to express a cancer-killing virus that specifically targets brain tumor cells Indication Recurrent brain tumors in adults: high grade gliomas (HGG), such as glioblastoma (GBM) Therapeutic Mechanism The neural stem cells will act as carriers to deliver a cancer-killing virus to brain tumors (at […]
PHASE 1, OPEN LABEL, DOSE-ESCALATION STUDY OF CRX100 IN PATIENTS WITH ADVANCED SOLID TUMORS
Therapeutic Candidate or Device Immune cells loaded with a cancer-killing virus that targets cancer tissue, not healthy tissue. Indication Advanced, refractory solid tumors: CRC, HCC, Osteosarcoma, NNN Breast, Ovarian, Gastric Therapeutic Mechanism The proposed therapy pairs activated immune cells with an adapted oncolytic virus that selectively infects and kills malignant cells. The result of this […]
Phase 1 Clinical Trial of Autologous GD2 Chimeric Antigen Receptor T Cells for Diffuse Intrinsic Pontine Gliomas and Spinal Diffuse Midline Glioma
Therapeutic Candidate or Device Autologous T cells genetically engineered to express a Chimeric Antigen Receptor targeting GD2 (GD2-CART) Indication Brain tumors in children and young adults: Diffuse Intrinsic Pontine Gliomas (DIPG) and Spinal Diffuse Midline Glioma (DMG) Therapeutic Mechanism Progenitor GD2-CART cells will recognize DIPG/DMG cancer cells expressing GD2, become activated, divide, and kill the […]
Phase 1/1b study of T-allo10 infusion after HLA-partially matched abdepleted-HSCT in children and young adults with hematologic malignancies.
Therapeutic Candidate or Device An immunotherapy cell product, T-allo10, that is enriched for specialized immune cells called type I regulatory T (Tr1) cells Indication Children and young adults with relapse/refractory acute leukemia receiving a specialized stem cell transplant, αβdepleted-HSCT Therapeutic Mechanism αβdepleted-HSCT has increased the number of patients who can safely receive transplants, however this […]
Phase I Study of IL13Rα2-Targeting CAR T Cells After Lymphodepletion for Children with Refractory or Recurrent Malignant Brain Tumors
Therapeutic Candidate or Device Autologous chimeric antigen receptor T cells derived from naive/memory T cells and engineered to target IL13Rα2 on pediatric malignant brain tumors. Indication Recurrent/refractory malignant pediatric brain tumors that express the tumor-associated antigen IL13Rα2. Therapeutic Mechanism Naive and memory T cells are harvested from patients and reprogrammed to express chimeric antigen receptors […]
Phase 1 Clinical Development of IO-202, A First-in-Class Antibody Targeting LILRB4, for the Treatment of AML with Monocytic Differentiation and CMML
Therapeutic Candidate or Device IO-202, a first-in-class antibody targeting leukocyte immunoglobulin-like receptor B4 (LILRB4), an immune inhibitory receptor Indication Acute myeloid leukemia (AML) with monocytic differentiation and chronic myelomonocytic leukemia (CMML) Therapeutic Mechanism IO-202 is the first T-cell activator for AML. Preclinical studies showed that IO-202 can convert a “don’t kill me” to “kill me” […]
A Phase I Study of Chimeric Antigen Receptor Engineered Stem/Memory T Cells for the Treatment of HER2-Positive Brain Metastases
Therapeutic Candidate or Device Autologous naïve-stem/memory T cells engineered with a chimeric antigen receptor targeting the HER2 antigen (HER2BBζ-Tn/mem) Indication HER2-positive brain and/or leptomeningeal metastases, primarily from breast cancer Therapeutic Mechanism The proposed therapy aims to provide a safe and effective treatment option for patients with HER2-positive cancers that have metastasized to the central nervous […]
Genetic Modification of Stem Cells and T cells to Activate the Immune System to Target Solid Tumors
Therapeutic Candidate or Device Autologous Peripheral Blood Stem Cells expressing the NY-ESO-1 TCR and a suicide/reporter gene combined with T cells expressing the same TCR Indication Locally advanced (unresectable stage IIIc) or metastatic malignancies (stage IV) that are HLA A2.1 +, NY-ESO-1 +, solid tumors, including sarcomas Therapeutic Mechanism The administration of TCR transduced mature […]
AB-205-001 Phase 1b Trial and Related Activities to Support Clinical Development of AB-205
