Roswell Park, Generate Biomedicines Launch Exclusive Clinical Trial of ‘Armored’ CAR T Therapy for Ovarian Cancer
Roswell Park and Generate Biomedicines (NASDAQ: GENB) announced the first patient has been dosed in a phase 1 clinical trial for GB-5267, an AI-engineered CAR T-cell therapy targeting MUC16 in ovarian cancer. The trial aims to evaluate the safety and tolerability of GB-5267, which is designed to avoid pre-infusion chemotherapy and its side effects. GB-5267 targets a biomarker over-expressed in over 80% of ovarian tumors, aiming to optimize T-cell function in solid tumors.
