Marker Therapeutics Awarded $2.6 Million FDA Orphan Products Development Grant to Advance MT-601 in Pancreatic Cancer
“We are honored to be among the six recipients selected for funding through the FDA’s highly competitive Orphan Products Clinical Trials grants program,” said Juan Vera, MD, President and Chief Executive Officer of Marker Therapeutics. “This award represents meaningful independent recognition and external validation of the scientific rationale underlying our MAR-T platform and its potential application in pancreatic cancer. Our technology is designed to recognize multiple tumor-associated antigens, offering a differentiated approach to addressing tumor heterogeneity and antigen escape, while maintaining the favorable safety profile observed in more than 200 patients treated across our clinical programs in hematologic malignancies and solid tumors. The additional non-dilutive funding from the FDA will further support our efforts to advance MT-601 in an area of significant unmet medical need.”
