The Company has generated pre-clinical proof of concept data that demonstrates the therapeutic potential of its lead CAR-T candidate for a range of solid tumors including colorectal, pancreatic, mesothelioma, ovarian and breast cancer
In addition, the target acquisition is also developing a novel, allogeneic CAR-T for the treatment of autoimmune diseases.
