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."
