PHILADELPHIA, Dec. 09, 2023 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Century Therapeutics (NASDAQ: IPSC), an innovative biotechnology company developing induced pluripotent stem cell (iPSC)-derived cell therapies in immuno-oncology and autoimmune and inflammatory disease, today announced the presentation of initial clinical data from a single-patient case study which Century believes support the potential for a multi-dosing strategy for CAR iNK enabled by Allo-Evasion™ edits at the 65th American Society of Hematology (ASH) Annual Meeting and Exposition, being held December 9-12 in San Diego. The poster, titled, “Multiple Doses of CNTY-101, an iPSC-Derived Allogeneic CD19 Targeting CAR-NK Product, are Safe and Result in Tumor Microenvironment Changes Associated with Response: A Case Study”, is available on the Scientific Resources page of the Company’s website.

Key Points: 
  • “We are thrilled that the initial clinical evidence for CNTY-101 provides support for the potential for Allo-Evasion™ to enable a multi-dosing regimen without the need for continued lymphodepletion.
  • Cycles one and two included three days of lymphodepletion (LD), whereas cycles three through seven were given with no LD.
  • Importantly, tumor microenvironment initial analyses demonstrated a vigorous increase in T cells within 8 days of the 1st CNTY-101 cell infusion.
