GvHD is a severe and potentially life-threatening complication that can arise after an allogeneic haematopoietic stem cell transplantation and affects about 50 % of recipients.

Key Points: 
  • GvHD is a severe and potentially life-threatening complication that can arise after an allogeneic haematopoietic stem cell transplantation and affects about 50 % of recipients.
  • GvHD occurs when the stem cell donor’s T cells attack the patient’s tissues, leading to a range of symptoms that can affect the skin, gastrointestinal tract, and liver.
  • Prof. Dr. Andrea Tüttenberg, CEO of ActiTrexx, said: “GvHD can lead to life-long symptoms for the patient and is a major cause for the high mortality rate of blood stem cell transplantation.
  • Ten patients who have recently received a blood stem cell transplantation as treatment for leukemia will receive a single treatment with Actileucel.

NEW YORK, April 09, 2024 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- IN8bio, Inc. (Nasdaq: INAB) a clinical-stage biopharmaceutical company developing innovative gamma-delta T cell therapies, today announced new preclinical data from its non-signaling gamma-delta T cell based Chimeric Antigen Receptor-T cell (nsCAR) platform, known as INB-300, that demonstrated improved selectivity to target leukemia cells while preserving healthy ones. The data support the potential for nsCAR to have a wider therapeutic window and to be used to prevent on-target off-tumor killing of healthy tissue that may express the CAR-T target. The data was presented in a poster session at the American Association for Cancer Research (AACR) Annual Meeting 2024 on April 9, 2024.

Key Points: 
  • The data was presented in a poster session at the American Association for Cancer Research (AACR) Annual Meeting 2024 on April 9, 2024.
  • IN8bio's nsCAR platform is based on the natural ability of gamma-delta T cells to distinguish between healthy and malignant tissue.
  • Approved CAR-T therapies have shown remarkable efficacy against B cell malignancies, offering hope to patients with limited treatment options.
  • “These results can potentially improve INB-300, as we advance towards IND enabling studies of our next-generation gamma-delta T cell therapies to treat cancers.”
