CERo Therapeutics Holdings, Inc. 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.
