“We appreciate the recognition of our pioneering work developing precision T cell therapies targeting clonal neoantigens, which we believe for the first time allows the targeting of all cancer cells of an individual while sparing healthy tissue,” said
Achilles Therapeutics was chosen as the winner by an independent panel in recognition of innovation demonstrated by the Company’s work with clonal neoantigens to treat solid tumors, including the Company’s AI-powered PELEUS™ bioinformatics platform and proprietary VELOS™ manufacturing process, and the potential that the Company’s innovative therapies have to benefit cancer patients.
"Each year we have celebrated innovation with this PING Innovation Award and what a worthy winner in Achilles. They have the potential to make such a difference in the treatment of cancer,” added Paul Gershlick, Chair of PING and Partner and Head of Pharmaceuticals and Life Sciences at VWV. “What a fantastic and uplifting way to end a
About Achilles Therapeutics
Achilles is a clinical-stage biopharmaceutical company developing precision T cell therapies targeting clonal neoantigens: protein markers unique to the individual that are expressed on the surface of every cancer cell. The Company has two ongoing Phase I/IIa trials, the CHIRON trial in patients with advanced non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) and the THETIS trial in patients with recurrent or metastatic melanoma. Achilles uses DNA sequencing data from each patient, together with its proprietary AI-Powered PELEUS™ bioinformatics platform, to identify clonal neoantigens specific to that patient, and then develop precision T cell-based product candidates specifically targeting those clonal neoantigens.
