Welcome to our dedicated page for Achilles Therapeutics Plc news (Ticker: ACHL), a resource for investors and traders seeking the latest updates and insights on Achilles Therapeutics Plc stock.
Achilles Therapeutics plc (NASDAQ: ACHL) is a clinical-stage biopharmaceutical company dedicated to developing next-generation, AI-powered precision T-cell therapies for the treatment of solid tumors. The company's innovative approach harnesses the immune system to target and destroy cancer cells by focusing on clonal neoantigens—unique protein markers present on all cancer cells but absent from healthy tissue.
Achilles Therapeutics employs advanced DNA sequencing and its proprietary PELEUS™ bioinformatics platform to identify these clonal neoantigens. This precision allows for the development of tailored T-cell-based product candidates aimed at these specific cancer markers. The company has two ongoing Phase I/IIa clinical trials: CHIRON for advanced non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) and THETIS for recurrent or metastatic melanoma.
Recent achievements include the progress in clinical trials, with additional clinical and translational science data expected in the fourth quarter of 2023. The strong cash position of $158.5 million supports operations into mid-2025. The company continues to refine its manufacturing processes, notably the VELOS™ platform, which has significantly improved T-cell doses.
A notable collaboration with Arcturus Therapeutics aims to combine Achilles' AI-driven technology with Arcturus' self-amplifying mRNA platform to develop personalized cancer vaccines. This research highlights Achilles' commitment to leveraging cutting-edge technologies for cancer treatment.
Achilles has also received significant patents and regulatory recognitions, including a US patent for its neoantigen immunogenicity prediction and an Innovation Passport from the UK MHRA, underlining its leadership in the bioinformatics and immunotherapy sectors.
Looking ahead, Achilles plans to report more clinical data in the first quarter of 2024 and continue its focus on optimizing its T-cell therapies and expanding its technological capabilities.
