EMA Approves Clinical Trial Application (CTA) for AVC-201 for the Treatment of R/R AML and other CD123 Hematological Malignancies
“We are excited to build on the early success and promising activity and safety of our ongoing switchable autologous clinical program in AML (AVC-101) by now including what we believe is the most scientifically-compelling allogeneic technology in the industry,” said Andrew Schiermeier, AvenCell’s President & CEO. “With the application of both platform technologies, we are the first company in this space to completely separate the manufacture of cells from the ultimate patients and cancer indications they will be targeted to. This modular approach allows for unparalleled future flexibility and reduction in cycle times, massive scaling of supply, and meaningful reductions in cost of goods, all of which will dramatically advance the field of cell therapy for patients.”
