Welcome to our dedicated page for Genenta Science S.p.A. American Depositary Shares news (Ticker: GNTA), a resource for investors and traders seeking the latest updates and insights on Genenta Science S.p.A. American Depositary Shares stock.
Genenta Science S.p.A. (symbol: GNTA) is a cutting-edge biotechnology company specializing in the development of hematopoietic stem cell gene therapies for the treatment of solid tumors and various types of cancer. The company leverages an innovative gene transfer strategy into autologous hematopoietic stem/progenitor cells (HSPCs) to target interferon-α expression specifically to tumor-infiltrating monocytes/macrophages. Utilizing a genetically modified, HIV-derived lentiviral vector, Genenta delivers the therapeutic gene into HSPCs, enabling these cells to selectively express interferon within the tumor microenvironment, thereby minimizing systemic toxicity.
One of Genenta's flagship products, Temferon, is designed to treat glioblastoma multiforme, a highly aggressive brain tumor. Another key product focuses on TIE2-expressing monocytes (TEMs), which are engineered to attack solid tumors using an innovative combination of transcriptional and microRNA-mediated control mechanisms.
In recent developments, Genenta Science has expanded its research to include refractory advanced genitourinary malignancies, such as renal cell cancer, as a second indication. The company's latest news highlights preliminary data from its ongoing Phase 1/2 clinical trials, demonstrating promising results in the dose-ranging stage.
With its headquarters in Milan, Italy, and extensive clinical operations in New York, Genenta Science is at the forefront of immuno-oncology, aiming to harness the body's own immune system to combat cancer effectively and safely. The company remains committed to advancing its pipeline and achieving breakthroughs in cancer treatment.
