Lyell Immunopharma Inc. said the U.S. Food and Drug Administration cleared an investigational new drug application to begin a Phase 1 clinical trial for LYL132 in solid tumors.

The company is developing the therapy with GlaxoSmithKline. LYL132 is an investigational T-cell receptor therapy for patients with solid tumors expressing New York esophageal squamous cell carcinoma 1.

Lyell will manufacture LYL132, and GlaxoSmithKline will conduct the Phase 1 trial.
