CURE will be able to commercialize a blood cancer immune therapy using CAR T Cell Therapy within 2 years and it is our ultimate goal to treat solid tumors with CAR T Cell Therapy. I believe that a successful outcome from this collaboration could bring CURE an opportunity to present epoch-marking anticancer therapy for solid tumors to life-threatening patients. This might be one of our most powerful pipeline products to give the significant returns to our loyal shareholders who have been supporting us for many years."
