“At AACR, we presented data highlighting the potential of our hypoimmune platform to “hide” allogeneic CAR T cells from immune recognition, improving CAR T cell persistence and anti-tumor effect.

Key Points: 
  • “At AACR, we presented data highlighting the potential of our hypoimmune platform to “hide” allogeneic CAR T cells from immune recognition, improving CAR T cell persistence and anti-tumor effect.
  • Other data highlighted the progress and potential of SG299, the first drug candidate from our fusogen platform, in generating CD19-directed CAR T cells with in vivo delivery.
  • The study results showed that HIP CD19-directed CAR T cells were functionally immune evasive in allogeneic humanized mouse models.
  • When given systemically, IL-7 supported the expansion of in vivo fusosome-generated CAR T cells and increased anti-tumor efficacy compared to fusosome only.
