Title: Protecting Patients by Removing Need for Lymphodepletion to Better Preserve Immune Function
Conference Track: Clinical Track
Date and Time: Wednesday, June 12, 2024, 12:00 pm ET
Dr. Song’s presentation will detail the Company’s novel allogeneic blood-derived NK cell therapy ("SNK02") commercial manufacturing and cryopreservation process, as well provide an update on their initial Phase 1 results using SNK02 to treat patients with advanced refractory solid tumors. Furthermore, Dr. Song will explore the potential benefits of eliminating pre-treatment lymphodepletion in patients undergoing SNK02 therapy, aiming to safeguard immune function and aid in recovery. Avoiding lymphodepletion before administering cancer treatment can provide many benefits including reduced toxicity, preservation of immune function, and potentially enhancing treatment efficacy. The presentation will also include a discussion on an unexpected discovery from the SNK02 Phase 1 trial, hinting at its possible applicability as a treatment for patients beyond cancer.
A copy of the presentation will be available on the Scientific Publications page of the Company’s website at View Source once the presentation has concluded. Previously disclosed Phase 1 data on the positive effects of SNK02 on advanced solid tumors, which may not be included in this conference presentation, can also be found on the Scientific Publications page.
