“We are excited to build on the early success and promising activity and safety of our ongoing clinical program of allogeneic CAR-T in AML (NCT05949125) by now advancing into B Cell Lymphoma with what we believe to be the most scientifically compelling allogeneic technology in the industry,” said Andrew Schiermeier, AvenCell’s President & CEO. “To date, attempts at solving the key scalability and cost issues of autologous CAR-T therapy by engineering cells from unrelated donors have fallen short. Nevertheless, the obvious benefits of such an approach, including consistency and potency of an actual drug product – something in vivo approaches cannot provide – remain as compelling as ever. AvenCell remains focused on ensuring that any patient who can benefit from CAR-T therapy can receive it, through the massive scaling of supply and dramatic reductions in cost of goods, with a product that is as good or better than best-in-class autologous CAR-Ts.”
