Business : Their proprietary TCR Fusion Construct T cells (TRuC-T cells) specifically recognize and kill cancer cells by harnessing the entire T cell receptor (TCR) signaling complex, which we believe is essential for T cell therapies to be effective in patients with solid tumors. They have also designed our TRuC-T cells so that tumor cell recognition does not require human leukocyte antigens (HLA), which provides two important additional benefits. First, in contrast to current engineered T cell therapies that use the full TCR (TCR-T cells), their technology is designed so that it can be applied to all patients that express the cancer surface antigen irrespective of HLA subtype, which they believe will allow them to address a significantly larger patient population. Second, HLA is downregulated or lost in many tumors which can prevent their recognition by T cells and lead to diminished response rates and higher relapse rates. They therefore believe their approach will allow them to deliver the first HLA-independent TCR-T cell therapy for patients with solid tumors. They also believe that their product candidates have the potential to improve upon the efficacy and safety of currently approved chimeric antigen receptor T (CAR-T)cell therapies in CD19-positive B-cell hematological malignancies. This belief is based on preclinical studies comparing our product candidates to CAR-T cells that they engineered.
