Poseida Therapeutics Announces Nomination of New CAR-T Development Candidate Under Collaboration with Roche
“The nomination of a new development candidate builds on our collaboration with Roche and highlights the unique potential of our proprietary non-viral genetic engineering toolkit to create differentiated, TSCM-rich allogeneic CAR-T therapies targeting one or more antigens,” said Kristin Yarema, Ph.D., president and chief executive officer of Poseida Therapeutics. “Multiple myeloma is a common and incurable blood cancer with significant room for potent, safe and accessible novel agents to expand use across lines of therapy and sites of care. With compelling preclinical data supporting the target combination of this dual CAR-T, we look forward to advancing this program towards the clinic as a part of the collaboration. We also look forward to providing updates on our CAR-T programs and earlier-stage pipeline at Poseida’s upcoming Cell Therapy R&D Day.”
