IND Applications approved by the U.S. FDA and China CDE for the First EpCAM CAR-T Targeted at Advanced Solid Tumors
Dr. Crystal Sun, Founder, Chairman, and CEO of Immunofoco, expressed her congratulations and gratitude to the entire team. She highlighted the significance of Immunofoco’s achievement: securing dual IND approval for a second CAR-T product targeted for solid tumors in both the U.S. and China. Targeting EpCAM shows great potential for CAR-T treatment of solid tumors as it is highly expressed in primary, metastatic and circulating tumor cells. About 90% of the patients with gastrointestinal tumors exhibit EpCAM expression, which satisfies a broader clinical need. With the US/CN approval of this IND application, IMC001 is now poised to undertake further clinical trials and forge international collaborations, positioning itself as a promising new therapeutic option for patients with advanced GI tumors on a global scale.
