MiNK Therapeutics to begin phase 1 trial of iNKT cell therapy for GvHD
MiNK Therapeutics will initiate a Phase 1 clinical trial for its lead therapy, agenT-797, to evaluate its potential in reducing graft-versus-host disease (GvHD) and other complications in patients with high-risk leukemias and blood cancers. The therapy is an off-the-shelf allogeneic invariant natural killer T (iNKT) cell therapy that has previously shown safety and immune-modulating activity. This trial marks the company's expansion into transplantation medicine, aiming to suppress inflammatory immune responses while preserving anti-leukemia activity.
