SAN DIEGO–(BUSINESS WIRE)–Cytonus Therapeutics Inc., a biotechnology company developing new
platforms for delivering biologics, announced today that it will be
presenting preclinical data for its Cargocyte™ technology platform at
the American Association for Cancer Research (AACR) annual meeting March
29 – April 3, at the Georgia World Congress Center in Atlanta.
Cargocytes are engineered allogenic cell lines that can carry a variety
of payloads like small molecule compounds, gene editing therapies,
therapeutic RNAs, and powerful biologics such as immune modulating
cytokines, antibodies and oncolytic viruses.
“Cytonus Therapeutics will be presenting preclinical data from our
growing oncology pipeline that supports the versatility of our
Cargocytes as a groundbreaking allogeneic, off-the-shelf, immune-therapy
platform,” said Remo Moomiaie-Qajar, M.D., president and CEO of Cytonus.
“Our preclinical results in our Triple Negative Breast Cancer model
experiments are impressive and exciting. We are able to demonstrate that
40 percent of our animals being treated with our Cargocyte associated
IL-12 are showing no sign of disease more than 260 days post treatment
where as our control animals are dying typically 25 to 30 days into the
experiments. These experiments are still ongoing and our mice are doing
well. We have replicated these studies multiple times and have found the
pattern to exist.”
