“This collaboration combines the unique capability of PELEUS to select targets with the highest immunogenic potential expressed by all tumour cells, together with the proven, world-class STARR vaccine platform. With this combination we aim to deliver more potent and durable responses that could positively impact the outcomes for patients,” said Dr Iraj Ali, CEO of Achilles Therapeutics. “While we advance our TIL-based, clonal neoantigen reactive T cells (cNeT) programs in the ongoing CHIRON and THETIS Phase 2 trials, this collaboration allows us to leverage our neoantigen expertise in a new modality that could benefit a different group of earlier-stage patients.”
