Industry: Health Care

First Day Return: +49.4%

We are a leading late clinical-stage cell therapy company developing highly innovative allogeneic T cell therapies to treat and prevent devastating viral diseases. Our innovative and proprietary virus-specific T cell, or VST, therapy platform allows us to generate off-the-shelf VSTs designed to restore immunity in patients with T cell deficiencies who are at risk from the life-threatening consequences of viral diseases. There is an urgent medical need for therapies to treat a large number of patients suffering from viral diseases who currently have limited or no treatment options. To date, we have generated five innovative, allogeneic, off-the-shelf VST therapy candidates targeting 12 different devastating viruses, the most advanced of which has successfully completed a proof-of-concept trial across five viruses and is entering initial pivotal trials for the treatment of virus-associated hemorrhagic cystitis in the fourth quarter of 2020. Our lead product candidate, Viralym-M, is a multi-VST therapy targeting five viruses. We are initially focusing the development of Viralym-M in immunocompromised allogeneic hematopoietic stem cell transplant (HSCT) and solid organ transplant patients who are at high risk for life-threatening viral infections from the five viruses targeted by Viralym-M. In our Phase 2 proof-of-concept trial in 58 allogeneic HSCT patients with one or more treatment-refractory infections who were treated with Viralym-M, 93% achieved a clinical response.
