SOUTH SAN FRANCISCO, Calif.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Arsenal Biosciences, Inc. (ArsenalBio), a clinical stage programmable cell therapy company engineering advanced CAR T-cell therapies for solid tumors, today announced that it will present preclinical data on its integrated circuit T cell therapies, AB-1015 and AB-2100, in an oral abstract session and three posters at the American Society of Gene and Cell Therapy (ASGCT) annual meeting in Los Angeles, Calif., May 16-20, 2023.
ArsenalBio Announces Presentation of Six Abstracts at AACR Annual Meeting Highlighting Programmable Cell Therapy Progress
Thermo Fisher Scientific, and Arsenal Biosciences, Inc., a clinical-stage cell therapy company engineering advanced chimeric antigen receptor (CAR)-T cell therapies for solid tumors, have updated their strategic collaboration to further the development of manufacturing processes for new cancer treatments.
SOUTH SAN FRANCISCO, Calif.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Arsenal Biosciences, Inc. (ArsenalBio), a privately held, clinical stage, programmable cell therapy company engineering advanced CAR T cell therapies for solid tumors, today announced that the first patient has been dosed with AB-1015 in a Phase 1, first-in-human clinical trial for patients with ovarian cancer that is resistant to platinum-based regimens. AB-1015 is ArsenalBio’s first internally discovered T cell medicine to enter clinical development and uses synthetic DNA programming to overcome tumor defenses, increase potency, and target ovarian cancer cells without harming normal tissues.
San Francisco-based ArsenalBio’s designer T cells program is attracting the attention of some big players.
SOUTH SAN FRANCISCO, Calif.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Arsenal Biosciences, Inc. (ArsenalBio), a privately held programmable cell therapy company engineering advanced CAR T therapies for solid tumors, today announced a multi-year collaboration with Genentech, a member of the Roche Group. The companies will deploy ArsenalBio’s proprietary technology for high-throughput screening and engineering of T cells, to identify critical success circuits in T cell-based therapies. This discovery process employs the convergence of automation, large-scale genome engineering with high-content profiling, and cutting-edge machine learning and artificial intelligence algorithms to aid and advance the design, building, and testing of next-generation cell therapies for cancer. Arsenal will receive $70 million in upfront payments along with research, development, and commercial milestones.
If ArsenalBio does it right, its first CAR-T candidate — a potential treatment for ovarian cancer — will be in the clinic later this year.
Arsenal Bio is jumping headfirst into the cell therapy arena, and its latest fundraising haul, backed in part by Bristol Myers Squibb, is making a significant splash.
SOUTH SAN FRANCISCO, Calif.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Arsenal Biosciences, Inc., a privately held programmable cell therapy company engineering advanced CAR T therapies for solid tumors, today announced that the company’s Chief Executive Officer, Ken Drazan, MD, will present in person at the 2022 Jefferies Healthcare Conference on Thursday, June 9 at 4:00 p.m. Eastern time.
Is it a once-in-a-century bet? Bristol Myers Squibb will throw in as much as $3 billion for Century Therapeutics' cell therapies and is doling out at least $70 million for ArsenalBio's.
