CD83 CAR T-cells are something we developed in the lab a few years ago. It is a novel target for immunotherapy. We just opened a first-in-human phase one trial for patients with acute myeloid leukemia that have CD83 positive disease. But we looked to see what other cancers might express it and it turns out B-cell malignancies also express high levels of CD83. And so we are developing this CAR for patients that have been treated with the CD19 CAR T-cell technology, but have relapsed...
CD83 CAR T-cells are something we developed in the lab a few years ago. It is a novel target for immunotherapy. We just opened a first-in-human phase one trial for patients with acute myeloid leukemia that have CD83 positive disease. But we looked to see what other cancers might express it and it turns out B-cell malignancies also express high levels of CD83. And so we are developing this CAR for patients that have been treated with the CD19 CAR T-cell technology, but have relapsed. And so we did some preclinical studies to show that patients that are in vitro and in vivo, when you treat with a CD19 CAR and that CD19 antigen is lost, you can use a CD83 CAR T cell and it works completely fine. So based on this information, we’re going to be developing a clinical trial to open at Roswell Park in a year or two.
