AB-205-001 Phase 1b Trial and Related Activities to Support Clinical Development of AB-205
Therapeutic Candidate or Device AB-205 consists of genetically engineered CD31+ cells derived from Human Umbilical Vein tissue. Indication To ameliorate or accelerate recovery from toxicities related to high-dose chemo followed by HDT-ASCT for the treatment of lymphoma and other cancers. Therapeutic Mechanism E-CEL UVEC cells (the active ingredient in AB-205) work both via the secretion […]
Phase 1 Study of CD19/CD22 Chimeric Antigen Receptor (CAR) T Cells in Adults with Recurrent or Refractory B Cell Malignancies
Therapeutic Candidate or Device T cells genetically engineered to express as bispecific Chimeric Antigen Receptor (CAR) targeting CD19 and/or CD22 Indication Patients with relapsed and refractory B cell malignancies Therapeutic Mechanism T cells expressing the bispecific CAR will recognize cancer cells expressing one of both of the target antigens. Upon recognition, the T cells will […]
A phase I trial of intratumoral administration of CCL21-gene modified dendritic cell (DC) combined with intravenous pembrolizumab for advanced NSCLC
Therapeutic Candidate or Device Combination therapy with adenoviral CCL21 gene-modified DC and pembrolizumab Indication Patients with confirmed and measurable stage IV NSCLC expressing PD-L1 in less than 50% of cells who are naïve to systemic treatment for NSCLC. Therapeutic Mechanism The central rationale this approach is to utilize in situ vaccination with intratumoral injection of […]
Clinical Study of T stem cell memory (Tscm)-based CAR-T cells in Patients with Multiple Myeloma
Therapeutic Candidate or Device Genetically engineered, Centyrin-based, stem cell memory CAR-T cells (CARTyrin T cells) Indication Multiple Myeloma Therapeutic Mechanism The Centyrin-based chimeric antigen receptor (CARTyrin) cells are cells that are removed from a myeloma patient's body and genetically engineered to express a receptor that binds to BCMA that is selectively found on myeloma cells, […]
Antiviral Cellular Therapy for Enhancing T-cell Reconstitution Before or After Hematopoietic Stem Cell Transplantation (ACES)
Therapeutic Candidate or Device Partially HLA-matched virus-specific T-cell therapy targeting cytomegalovirus, Epstein-Barr virus, and adenovirus. Indication This study will treat persistent viral infections with CMV, EBV, and/or adenovirus in patients with immunodeficiency. Therapeutic Mechanism The goal of this study is to use banked virus-specific T-cell therapy in A) patients who have persistent viral infections after […]
AB-110-001 Phase 1b Trial and Related Activities to Support Clinical Development of AB-110
Therapeutic Candidate or Device AB-110 consists of cord blood derived hematopoietic stem and progenitor cells co-cultured and expanded with E-CEL UVEC cells Indication Hematologic and immune reconstitution in patients who have received myeloablation conditioning Therapeutic Mechanism Stem and progenitor cells (active ingredient) of AB-110 engraft into the bone marrow of patients, rebuilding a new blood […]
Phase I Study of Chimeric Antigen Receptor Engineered Central Memory T cells for the Treatment of Malignant Glioma
Therapeutic Candidate or Device A promising immunotherapy utilizing a patient’s memory T cells engineered to express chimeric antigen receptors for targeted tumor killing. Indication Malignant glioma (WHO III and IV), including glioblastoma (WHO IV), that express the tumor-associated antigen IL-13 receptor alpha 2 (IL13Rα2). Therapeutic Mechanism A promising immunotherapy utilizing a patient’s memory T cells […]
A Phase 1b/2a Study of the ROR1-Targeting Monoclonal Antibody, Cirmtuzumab, and the Bruton Tyrosine Kinase Inhibitor, Ibrutinib, in B-Cell Cancers
Therapeutic Candidate or Device Cirmtuzumab (UC-961) is a therapeutic monoclonal antibody that inhibits ROR1, a tumor-specific protein on the surface of many cancer stem cells Indication Cirmtuzumab will be used with the approved drug, ibrutinib, for patients with chronic lymphocytic leukemia or mantle cell lymphoma Therapeutic Mechanism ROR1 is a cell surface protein which is […]
Phase 1b Trial of Hu5F9-G4 Monotherapy or Hu5F9-G4 in Combination with Azacitidine in Patients with Acute Myeloid Leukemia and Myelodysplastic Syndrome
Therapeutic Candidate or Device Hu5F9-G4 is a drug called an antibody that is designed to mobilize the body's immune system to eliminate cancer and cancer stem cells.
