TCBP Partners with CareDx to Support ACHIEVE Clinical Trial Using AlloCell for Pharmacokinetic Monitoring of Allogeneic Cell Therapy
Rhea-AI Summary
TC BioPharm (NASDAQ: TCBP), a clinical-stage biotechnology company developing allogeneic gamma-delta T cell therapies, announced a partnership with CareDx (NASDAQ: CDNA) to support the ACHIEVE clinical trial. This phase II, open-label study aims to evaluate the efficacy of TCB008, an allogeneic gamma delta T cell therapy for Acute Myeloid Leukemia (AML) and Myelodysplastic Syndrome (MDS).
CareDx will use its AlloCell solution for pharmacokinetic analysis to monitor the expansion and persistence of TCB008 in patients. The data collected will help understand the duration and effect of TCB008 in reconstituting the immune system of AML patients. Alison Bracchi, EVP of Clinical Operations at TC BioPharm, highlighted the partnership as a significant milestone in developing TCB008. Marica Grskovic, PhD, CareDx Chief Strategy Officer, emphasized the collaboration's role in advancing allogeneic cell therapy for AML patients.

Data tracked by StockTitan Argus on the day of publication.
The ACHIEVE clinical trial is an adaptive, open-label, phase II study designed to evaluate the efficacy and effectiveness of TCB008, an allogeneic gamma delta T cell therapy for patients with Acute Myeloid Leukemia (AML) or Myelodysplastic Syndrome (MDS).
CareDx is a leading precision medicine company focused on discovering, developing, and commercializing healthcare solutions for transplant patients and caregivers. CareDx's AlloCell test, a sensitive solution for pharmacokinetic monitoring of allogeneic immune and stem cell therapies, will be used to evaluate the expansion and persistence of TCB008 in patients enrolled in the ACHIEVE trial.
It is expected that these expansion and persistence data will provide an understanding of the duration and effect of TCB008 Gamma Delta T-Cells in reconstituting the immune system of acute myeloid leukemia patients enrolled in the ACHIEVE trial.
"Our partnership with CareDx is a significant milestone," said Alison Bracchi, Executive Vice President of Clinical Operations at TC BioPharm. "The collaboration is pivotal to the development and optimization of TCB008 as a therapy for acute myeloid leukemia and other blood cancers."
"We are thrilled to continue to progress the science of allogeneic cell therapy for patients battling acute myeloid leukemia," said Marica Grskovic, PhD, CareDx Chief Strategy Officer. "This partnership builds upon our growth strategy to expand into hematology oncology with pharmacokinetic and monitoring assays for patients undergoing cell therapy."
