Kiromic BioPharma, Inc. announced the execution of a clinical trial agreement with Beverly Hills Cancer Center (BHCC) to conduct its Deltacel-01 Phase 1 Study. Pursuant to the agreement, BHCC, one of Southern California's esteemed private cancer centers, is anticipated to serve as the inaugural clinical site for the evaluation of Deltacel?? (KB-GDT-01), Kiromic's allogeneic, off-the-shelf, Gamma Delta T-cell (GDT) therapy, in patients with non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC).

The collaboration between Kiromic BioPharma and BHCC underscores the shared commitment between the two organizations to advance the fight against cancer through innovative therapeutic approaches. BHCC is a private, comprehensive facility which includes a radiation oncology center, an infusion center, a full-service diagnostic imaging center (featuring MRI, CT, PET/CT), and a diagnostic laboratory, and has a distinguished history of conducting clinical trials across multiple cancer types. NSCLC is the most prevalent type of lung cancer, representing about 80% to 85% of lung cancer cases.

Lung cancer is by far the leading cause of cancer death in the U.S., accounting for about 1 in 5 of all cancer deaths.
