KSQ Therapeutics and CTMC Announce Strategic Collaboration to Accelerate the Development of Novel Engineered Tumor Infiltrating Lymphocyte (eTIL) Therapies for the Treatment of Solid Tumors
“Our eTIL programs – which edit the SOCS1 and Regnase-1 genes – have the potential to be firstand best-in-class cell therapies for cancer treatment. As our eTIL programs move through INDenabling studies, our partnership with CTMC will have us ready to manufacture KSQ-001EX and KSQ-004EX for clinical studies,” said Qasim Rizvi, Chief Executive Officer of KSQ. “We believe our eTIL programs have the potential to address the significant unmet need in the solid tumor space.”
