"We are very pleased to see favorable initial safety and tolerability data from the first patient treated in our Deltacel-01 study," said Dr. Afshin Eli Gabayan, Medical Oncologist, Medical Director, and Principal Investigator at Beverly Hills Cancer Center. “Seeing no adverse events reported 23 days after Deltacel infusion provides early validation that this novel cell therapy is well tolerated when combined with low dose radiation for lung cancer patients. We look forward to further evaluating optimal dose level, efficacy, and long-term safety outcomes as additional patients are enrolled and treated. If this promising initial data is replicated in more patients, Deltacel could become a new alternative treatment option for NSCLC patients.”
