Stem Cell Therapy developers I Peace and iCamuno Biotherapeutics Start Natural Killer Cell Trial for Ovarian Cancer
Excerpt from the Press Release:
PALO ALTO, Calif., Aug. 22, 2024 /PRNewswire/ — I Peace, a pioneering CDMO in induced pluripotent stem (iPS) cells, and iCamuno Biotherapeutics, a biotech company developing iPS cell-based therapies, today announced a significant milestone with the dosing of the first patient in a clinical trial using iPS cell-derived natural killer (iNK) cells for ovarian cancer immunotherapy. iCamuno will lead the trial, which will test the safety and efficacy of NK cells made from I Peace’s cGMP-compliant iPS cells using iCamuno’s NK cell differentiation technology.
Natural killer (NK) cells are a critical component of the anti-cancer immune system, with natural abilities to recognize and destroy tumor cells. This trial leverages iCamuno’s abilities to create cGMP-grade iPS cell-derived NK cells with improved consistency and effector function. The initial phase will focus on ovarian cancer, with potential expansion to a broader range of diseases.
“We are thrilled to reach this moment,” said Koji Tanabe, CEO and founder at I Peace. “Dosing the first patient in this trial using our iPS cell line is a significant milestone in our goal to develop innovative immunotherapies for cancer.”
