First Patient Dosed in Clinical Development Program for KSQ-001EX
“TIL have emerged as a powerful new treatment modality, and we believe both of our eTIL® programs, KSQ-001EX and KSQ-004EX, have the potential to significantly advance the field by improving the potency of TIL therapy for the treatment of a variety of solid tumor types. In preclinical studies, KSQ-001EX demonstrated enhanced anti-tumor activity, polyclonality, persistence, and memory formation in multiple solid tumor models compared to unmodified TIL. We also saw robust anti-tumor activity in models insensitive to PD-1 inhibition,” said Qasim Rizvi, Chief Executive Officer of KSQ. “We look forward to evaluating KSQ-001EX in patients with difficult-to-treat solid tumors, including melanoma, head and neck squamous cell carcinoma, and non-small cell lung cancer.”
