By GlobalDataMeanwhile, Lyell Immunopharma is a cellular therapy company focused on mastering immune cell functionality by advancing the science of T-Cell differentiation, functionality, as well as a specificity for developing ‘curative treatments’.
T-Cell therapies are currently being used for treating many forms of blood cancers, while CAR T-Cell therapies are approved for treating acute lymphoblastic leukemia (ALL) and non-Hodgkin lymphoma (NHL).
These therapies are also approved for hundreds of additional trials related to blood cancer and other solid tumours.
Lyell chief medical officer Tina Albertson said: “Lyell is very excited to be partnered with Sarah Cannon.
“This collaboration should result in the ability to more rapidly and efficiently initiate clinical trials and thus bring Lyell’s innovative cell therapy treatments to patients more quickly once trials are authorised to commence.”
