Cell Source, Inc. announced that it is planning to commence a Phase I/II clinical trial with a cell therapy treatment that aspires to significantly reduce the need for immune suppression treatment for both donor-matched and "mismatched" bone marrow transplant patients. This treatment could potentially lead to a substantial increase in patient survival rates.
Cell Source, Inc. is a cell therapy company focused on immunotherapy. The Company is primarily focused on the development of immune system management technology (Veto Cell technology). Its lead prospective product is its Veto Cell immune system management technology. Its Veto Cell technology is an immune tolerance biotechnology that enables the selective blocking of immune responses. Its Veto Cell technology is in pre-clinical phase, and its data shows that it provides results in allogeneic (donor-derived) hematopoietic stem cell transplantation (HSCT) by allowing for haploidentical stem cell transplants under a mild conditioning regimen. Its product pipeline includes chimeric antigen receptor (CAR) T-cell therapies, which include VETO CAR-T (with or without HSCT) for B-cell malignancies, Veto Cell kidney transplants, VETO CAR-T for solid tumors, Veto Cell liver transplants, and Veto HSCT for non-malignant disorders. The Company's wholly owned subsidiary is Cell Source Limited (CSL).
