Acepodia picked up $109 million to bankroll its pipeline of cell therapies for various cancers, bringing aboard an early Zoom investor in the process.
Acepodia, a clinical-stage biotechnology company developing first-in-class cell therapies with its unique Antibody-Cell Conjugation (ACC) platform technology to address gaps in cancer care, today reported new interim data from an ongoing Phase 1 dose escalation study demonstrating feasibility with ACE1702, the company’s most advanced investigational antibody effector cell therapy (ACE), in development for patients with advanced HER2-positive tumors. Initial results from this first-in-human study show that repeat dosing of ACE1702 was safe and well-tolerated across the first four dose levels, comprising 9 billion cells per cycle at dose level four (DL4). No clinical signs of dose limiting toxicity (DLT), such as cytokine release syndrome (CRS), immune effector cell-associated neurotoxicity syndrome (ICANS) or graft versus host disease (GvHD) have been reported so far.
Acepodia, a clinical-stage biotechnology company developing first-in-class cell therapies with its unique Antibody-Cell Conjugation (ACC) platform technology to address gaps in cancer care, today announced that it will present new interim data from an ongoing Phase 1 study (NCT04319757) evaluating ACE1702, the company’s most advanced therapeutic candidate, in patients with advanced HER2 tumors, as an on demand e-Poster at the European Society of Medical Oncology (ESMO) 2021 Annual Congress being held virtually September 16-21, 2021.
SAN MATEO, Calif., June 07, 2021 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Acepodia, a biotechnology company developing next generation solid tumor and hematologic cancer cell therapies, today announced that an article describing the efficacy profile of ACE1702, Acepodia’s novel, off-the-shelf natural killer (NK) cell therapy against HER2-expressing solid tumors, was published in the journal Cancers. The article, titled “A Novel off-the-Shelf Trastuzumab-Armed NK Cell Therapy (ACE1702) Using Antibody-Cell-Conjugation Technology,” is available on the Acepodia corporate website at Acepodia.com/newsroom/publications.
SAN MATEO, Calif., May 19, 2021 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Acepodia, a biotechnology company developing next generation solid tumor and hematologic cancer cell therapies, today presented new preclinical data showing that the company’s CD20-targeting, natural killer (NK)-like gamma-delta T cell therapy, ACE1831, which is being developed for hematological cancers, demonstrated prolonged survival in vivo. Through Acepodia’s unique antibody-cell conjugation (ACC) platform, which links tumor-targeting antibodies to a variety of effector cells, ACE1831 is comprised of NK-like gamma-delta T cells armed with an anti-CD20 antibody, enabling it to target cancer cells and overcome tumor defenses to deliver a potent, cancer-killing cellular payload.
