ImmPACT Bio to Present New Preclinical Data on Claudin18.2/TGF-β Bispecific CAR T-Cell Therapy IMPT-601 for Gastric Cancer at the SITC 39th Annual Meeting
IMPT-601 is designed to overcome the suppressive tumor microenvironment by enhancing CAR T- cell infiltration, overcoming T-cell exhaustion, and reducing regulatory T-cell activity
LOS ANGELES, Calif., October 23, 2024 – ImmPACT Bio USA, Inc. (“ImmPACT Bio”), a clinical-stage company developing transformative logic-gate-based chimeric antigen receptor (CAR) T-cell therapies for treating cancer and autoimmune diseases, today announced that it will present new preclinical data about the potential of IMPT-601, a Claudin18.2/transforming growth factor beta (TGF-β) bispecific CAR T-cell therapy for the treatment of gastric cancer. These data were selected for an oral presentation at the Society for Immunotherapy of Cancer (SITC) 39th Annual Meeting, to be held November 8-10, 2024 in Houston, TX.
IMPT-601 is designed to overcome the suppressive tumor microenvironment by enhancing CAR T-cell infiltration, overcoming T-cell exhaustion, and reducing regulatory T-cell numbers through dual targeting of Claudin 18.2 and TGF-β.
Details for the presentation are as follows:
