Frequently asked questions about CART-EGFR-IL13Ra2 cells

What is CART-EGFR-IL13Ra2 cells used for?

CART-EGFR-IL13Ra2 cells is an investigational cell therapy being developed for the treatment of glioblastoma (GBM). It is currently in Phase 1 clinical development and is not yet approved by regulatory authorities. The therapy is being studied in patients with newly diagnosed GBM following initial radiotherapy.

What does CART-EGFR-IL13Ra2 cells target?

CART-EGFR-IL13Ra2 cells is a chimeric antigen receptor T-cell therapy designed to target two antigens commonly expressed on glioblastoma cells: EGFR and IL13Ra2. By engineering T cells to recognize these targets, the therapy aims to direct the immune system against the tumor.

Who is developing CART-EGFR-IL13Ra2 cells?

CART-EGFR-IL13Ra2 cells is being developed by Gilead Sciences, Inc. (NASDAQ: GILD). The company is conducting a Phase 1 clinical trial of this investigational therapy in patients with glioblastoma.

What phase is CART-EGFR-IL13Ra2 cells in?

CART-EGFR-IL13Ra2 cells is in Phase 1 clinical development. It is an investigational therapy and has not been approved by the FDA or any other regulatory agency. The ongoing Phase 1 trial is currently recruiting participants in the United States.

What clinical trials is CART-EGFR-IL13Ra2 cells in?

CART-EGFR-IL13Ra2 cells is being evaluated in a single Phase 1 clinical trial, NCT06973096, titled 'CART-EGFR-IL13Ra2 in Newly Diagnosed GBM Following Initial Radiotherapy.' The trial is recruiting patients with glioblastoma in the United States and has a target enrollment of 9 participants.
