CERo Therapeutics Holdings, Inc., (NASDAQ:CERO) ("CERo") an
innovative immunotherapy company seeking to advance the next
generation of engineered T cell therapeutics that employ phagocytic
mechanisms today announced the publication in Clinical Cancer
Research, a journal of the American Association for Cancer
Research, a paper titled “Therapeutic Targeting of TIM-4-L With
Engineered T Cells for Acute Myeloid Leukemia.” The paper details
preclinical studies by CERo analyzing its lead clinical candidate
CER-1236 in targeting Acute Myelogenous Leukemia (AML) tumor cells
from human patients, and the candidate’s killing effects on these
tumor cells. The results in the paper found that the target for
CER-1236 is found in the large majority (83%) of leukemic cells
extracted from the bone marrow from patients, and that more
importantly CER-1236 effectively eliminated leukemic cells in the
company’s experiments. Finally, the target for CER-1236 was found
by CERo to be highly expressed and detectable across common AML
genetic classification subtypes, including patient samples with
adverse risk mutations in TP53, ASXL1 and RUNX1.
“This new publication provides support for our plans to test
CER-1236 in AML patients in our planned Phase I clinical trial, and
moreover extends the scientific data we have produced showing the
target for CER-1236 is present on tumor cells from diverse cancers,
including ovarian, non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC), and B cell
malignancies,” said Daniel Corey M.D, Ph.D, CERo’s Founder and
Chief Technology Officer.
“We’re very pleased with this publication in Clinical Cancer
Research supporting our near term plans to advance CER-1236 into
the clinic. As we have previously reported, CERo plans to file an
Investigational New Drug (IND) application in the first half of
2024, and is targeting initial treatment of AML patients as well as
B Cell lymphoma patients before the end of the year,” said Brian G
Atwood, CERo’s Chairman and Chief Executive Officer.
About CERo Therapeutics, Inc.
CERo is an innovative immunotherapy company advancing the
development of next generation engineered T cell therapeutics for
the treatment of cancer. Its proprietary approach to T cell
engineering, which enables it to integrate certain desirable
characteristics of both innate and adaptive immunity into a single
therapeutic construct, is designed to engage the body’s full immune
repertoire to achieve optimized cancer therapy. This novel cellular
immunotherapy platform is expected to redirect patient-derived T
cells to eliminate tumors by building in engulfment pathways that
employ phagocytic mechanisms to destroy cancer cells, creating what
CERo refers to as Chimeric Engulfment Receptor T cells ("CER-T").
CERo believes the differentiated activity of CER-T cells will
afford them greater therapeutic application than currently approved
chimeric antigen receptor ("CAR-T") cell therapy, as the use of
CER-T may potentially span both hematological malignancies and
solid tumors. CERo anticipates initiating clinical trials for its
lead product candidate, CER-1236, in 2024 for hematological
malignancies.
