Adaptimmune Enhances Its Pipeline of Wholly Owned Cell Therapies for Cancer with Transfer of PRAME and NY-ESO Target Programs from GSK
“MAGE-A4, NY-ESO and PRAME are amongst the best-characterized and validated TCR T-cell targets in the solid tumor field. With full ownership of these affinity enhanced SPEAR T-cells against each of these targets, we will be able to bring the benefits of cell therapy to an even larger number of people with cancer,” said Adrian Rawcliffe, Adaptimmune’s Chief Executive Officer. “While we remain focused on the delivery of our flagship MAGE-A4 program, we are even better positioned with this portfolio to lead the field of engineered T-cells for the treatment of cancer well into the future.”

“In the first reported data from the clinical combinations of our PRMT5 inhibitor vopimetostat and RAS(ON) inhibitors, we saw extremely encouraging early results, with 92% of patients with PDAC in the vopimetostat plus daraxonrasib arm achieving an objective response, supporting the preclinical data showing synergistic activity of PRMT5 + RAS
“Non-small cell lung cancer is the most prevalent lung disease with more than 8,000 patients in the U.S. diagnosed each year with KRAS G12D-mutations. Receiving Fast Track designation for VS-7375 reinforces both the significant unmet need and the potential of VS-7375 to improve outcomes for patients with KRAS G12D-mutated lung
“KRAS has notoriously been considered an undruggable target and patients with KRAS-driven cancers continue to face limited treatment options with survival measured in months, not years,” said John Reed, M.D., Ph.D., Executive Vice President, Innovative Medicine, Research & Development, Johnson & Johnson. “We believe the proprietary Firelink™ platform will overcome
