ElevateBio’s HighPassBio Presents on Novel T Cell Receptor Cell Therapy for Leukemia Relapse at 62nd Annual ASH Meeting – Business Wire

CAMBRIDGE, Mass.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--HighPassBio, an ElevateBio portfolio company dedicated to advancing novel targeted T cell immunotherapies, today discussed the ongoing Phase 1 trial of the companys lead product candidate, an engineered T cell receptor (TCR) T cell therapy targeting HA-1 expressing cancer cells in an oral presentation at the 62nd American Society of Hematology (ASH) Annual Meeting. The Phase 1 clinical trial, which is being conducted by researchers at Fred Hutchinson Cancer Research Center, is designed to assess the feasibility, safety, and efficacy of this novel cell therapy in the treatment of leukemia following hematopoietic stem cell transplant (HSCT). The prognosis for leukemia patients whove relapsed or who have residual disease following allogeneic hematopoietic stem cell transplantation is often poor, but we believe that by targeting the minor H antigen, HA-1, through a novel T cell immunotherapy, we can potentially treat and prevent subsequent relapse, said Elizabeth Krakow, M.D., MSc., Assistant Professor, Clinical Research Division, Fred Hutchinson Cancer Research Center, principal investigator of the study, and presenting author
