GC Cell's Promising AB-201 Cancer Treatment to Begin Phase 1 Trials Using Lunit AI Platform
YONGIN, South Korea and SYDNEY, Jan. 8, 2024 /PRNewswire/ -- GC Cell, a fully integrated cell therapy pioneer, is proud to announce the approval from both the Australian Human Research Ethics Committee (HREC) and the Korean Ministry of Food and Drug Safety (MFDS) for a Phase 1 Investigational New Drug (IND) trial for its AB-201 cancer treatment, a HER2 targeted chimeric antigen receptor-natural killer (CAR-NK) cell therapy that shows great promise. Additionally, GC Cell is excited to reveal a strategic partnership with Lunit, the medical AI leader, to enhance precision and clinical intelligence of AB-201's efficacy evaluation by applying its advanced AI technology, in addition to traditional Immunohistochemistry (IHC) based assessments. After participating in the US White House's Cancer Moonshot initiative this past October, both accomplishments represent major milestones in GC Cell's efforts to revolutionize immunotherapy-based cancer treatment while harnessing AI and digital transformation to fight cancer.
