Stem-Derived IL13Ra2 Chimeric Antigen Receptor T cells for Patients with Melanoma and Advanced Solid Tumors

Therapeutic Candidate or Device Adult Stem-Like T cells engineered with chimeric antigen receptor (CAR) to target cancers expressing IL13Ra2, including melanoma. Indication Advanced cancers that express IL13Ra2, including melanoma. Therapeutic Mechanism When administered to a patient, the engineered T cells will circulate through the blood and tissues to 􀁹nd, recognize and kill tumor cells that […]

A Phase 2b, Randomized, Assessor-Masked Clinical Trial to Assess the Safety and Efficacy of the CPCB-RPE1 Implant in Subjects with Geographic Atrophy

Therapeutic Candidate or Device A patch comprised of a layer of stem cell-derived retinal pigmented epithelial (RPE) cells on a supporting matrix that is implanted under the retina Indication Geographic atrophy, the late-stage form of age-related macular degeneration Therapeutic Mechanism The healthy RPE cells on the implant replace dying RPE cells in the eye that […]

Evaluation of Safety and Feasibility of Cytomegalovirus-Specific, Anti-HIV Chimeric Antigen Receptor (CMV/HIV-CAR) T Cells in People with HIV

Therapeutic Candidate or Device Cytomegalovirus (CMV)-specific T cells that express a chimeric antigen receptor (CAR) which targets and eliminates HIV-infected cells Indication Management of human immunodeficiency virus (HIV)/acquired immunodeficiency syndrome (AIDS) Therapeutic Mechanism Persons with HIV (PWH) lose immunity because of decreased T lymphocyte function. We propose to treat them with CAR T cells which […]

Phase 2b Clinical Study of KPI-012 Topical Ophthalmic Human Mesenchymal Stem Cell Secretome for the Treatment of Persistent Corneal Epithelial Defect

Therapeutic Candidate or Device KPI-012 is a human bone marrow mesenchymal stem cell secretome formulated as a topical ophthalmic therapeutic Indication Treatment of persistent corneal epithelial defect, a cornea defect refractory to conventional treatments that can lead to blindness Therapeutic Mechanism KPI-012 is intended to restore normal corneal wound healing, providing a curative solution to […]

A Phase I Open Label Study to Evaluate the Safety and Tolerability of ISP-001 in Patients with Mucopolysaccharidosis Type 1

Therapeutic Candidate or Device B cells will be isolated from patients suffering MPSI. These will be transformed with a normal copy of the gene and re-introduced into the patient Indication Mucopolysaccharidosis I (MPSI) is a rare disease that affects predominantly children. Untreated, these patients typically die by the age of 10. Therapeutic Mechanism The therapeutic […]

Autologous ARTEMIS® T Cells to Treat Refractory/Relapsed Pediatric Liver Cancer

Therapeutic Candidate or Device ET140203 T cells: engineered T-cell therapy whereby autologous T cells are modified to specifically target and kill AFP+/ HLA-A2+ cancer cells. Indication Pediatric subjects aged ≥ 1 year to ≤ 21 years who are AFP-positive/HLA-A2-positive and have relapsed/refractory (r/r) HB, HCN-NOS, or HCC.
