"Preclinical data continues to demonstrate exquisite T cell specificity and profound CAR T cell activity with low dose levels of our in vivo Gene Placement System (iGPS)," said Kevin Friedman, Ph.D., Chief Executive Officer and Founder of Kelonia. "Combining this platform with our proprietary, fully-human, and highly active BCMA CAR candidate creates a medicine with the potential to transform the treatment of multiple myeloma. With KLN-1010 poised to be the first in vivo CAR-T cell therapy for multiple myeloma, we aim to provide a potentially life-changing solution for patients that need it most. We’re excited to share our latest data at these upcoming conferences, as we continue to advance toward the clinic."
