Blackstone Life Sciences has committed $250 million towards the launch of a new autologous and allogeneic universal chimeric antigen receptor (CAR) T-cell therapy company, along with Intellia Therapeutics, Inc. and Cellex Cell Professionals GmbH.
GEMoaB has apheresed the first patient in a Phase IA study with UniCAR-T-PSMA, the lead solid tumor product candidate from its proprietary UniCAR cellular immunotherapy platform.
The dose-finding trial will evaluate the safety and activity of UniCAR-T-PSMA in up to 16 patients with advanced relapsed/refractory, PSMA-positive solid tumours.
Will combine GEMoaB's RevCAR technology platform with Intellia's genome editing technologies to discover and develop allogeneic cellular immunotherapies.
