The Proceeds from the financing will advance Obsidian’s lead-engineered tumor-infiltrating lymphocyte (TIL) program, OBX-115, in its ongoing trials for patients with melanoma and non-small cell lung cancer.
OBX-115 is a cell and gene therapy drug candidate, which is being evaluated in combination with for the treatment of patients with advanced or metastatic melanoma.
The observed in vitro and in vivo persistence of cytoTIL15 TILs, in the absence of IL2, to superior in vivo anti-tumor efficacy in PDX models supports the potential for increased efficacy of cytoTIL15 therapy over conventional TIL therapy in solid tumor malignancies.
The abstract for the poster describes how Obsidian’s cytoTIL15 product demonstrates enhanced in vitro potency and phenotype and in vivo persistence in the absence of IL-2, paving the way for more durable efficacy and improved safety in patients with solid tumor malignancies.
This multi-year strategic research collaboration leverages Obsidian’s proprietary cytoDRiVE® platform to discover controllable genetic therapies to treat serious diseases.
