AbbVie terminated agreement with Caribou Biosciences regarding development of next-generation, off-the-shelf CAR-T cell therapies
“AbbVie exercised its right to terminate the Agreement for convenience, and this decision was based on AbbVie’s strategic focus and was unrelated to Caribou’s performance under the Agreement or the data generated to date. Caribou was conducting certain preclinical research, development, and manufacturing activities for two AbbVie programs, each program comprising one or more collaboration allogeneic CAR-T products directed toward the single cancer target or target combination, using the Company’s Cas12a chRDNA genome-editing and CAR-T cell therapy technologies. AbbVie has elected not to advance the two programs.”
