HOUSTON, May 26, 2022 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Alaunos Therapeutics, Inc. (“Alaunos” or the “Company”) (Nasdaq: TCRT), a clinical-stage oncology-focused cell therapy company today announced a Trials in Progress poster presentation at the 2022 American Society of Clinical Oncology Annual Meeting being held in Chicago, IL June 3-7, 2022.
The Trials in Progress poster presentation will summarize the adaptive trial design, dosing regimen, and follow up strategy for Alaunos’ ongoing TCR-T Library Phase 1/2 trial. The open label, dose escalation trial is being conducted at The University of Texas MD Anderson Cancer Center and is currently enrolling patients with non-small cell lung, colorectal, endometrial, pancreatic, ovarian, and bile duct cancers that have a matching human leukocyte antigen (HLA) and hotspot mutation pairing in Alaunos’ TCR-T library. In May 2022, the Company announced that it had dosed the first patient in the trial.
“We are honored to be selected by the ASCO Scientific Program Committee to present our adaptive design for our ongoing TCR-T Library Phase 1/2 trial,” stated Kevin S. Boyle, Sr. “Leveraging our proprietary non-viral Sleeping Beauty technology and our growing TCR-T library, we are a leader in the field of TCR-T cell therapies targeting solid tumors. Our approach attacking shared hotspot mutations that drive cancer has the potential to kill tumors. With the first patient successfully dosed we look forward to sharing an initial look at data later this year as we continue to enroll additional patients into our study.”
Details of the poster presentation are as follows:
Poster Presentation: First in-human phase 1/2 study of autologous T cells engineered using the Sleeping Beauty System transposon/transposase to express T-cell receptors (TCRs) reactive against cancer-specific mutations in patients with advanced solid tumors.
