NanoCell Therapeutics Announces Animal Proof of Concept Data Demonstrating Non-viral DNA Delivery for In Vivo CAR-T Cell Generation

  • Proof-of-concept for in vivo CAR-T generation using non-viral vectors delivering stably integrating DNA
  • Durable CAR expression and tumor control in human PBMC engrafted mouse model of B-cell leukemia

WAYNE and UTRECHT – Nov. 8, 2024 — NanoCell Therapeutics, Inc. (“NanoCell”), a company developing a non-viral, DNA-based in vivo gene therapy platform, today announced animal proof of concept  data from its lead program utilizing targeted lipid nanoparticle (tLNP) technology for in vivo CAR-T cell generation.

“The studies demonstrated successful targeting and stable CAR expression in a human PBMC engrafted mouse model evaluating the company’s tLNP technology. These findings were initially shared at the 31st Annual Congress of the European Society of Gene & Cell Therapy (ESGCT) in Rome last month. Additional data are being presented at the SITC 39th Annual Meeting in Houston (Abstract #284)]”

These preclinical data demonstrate the potential of our cell-directed, lipid-enabled delivery platform,” said Maurits Geerlings, CEO of NanoCell. “As we progress from platform validation, we are advancing our lead clinical construct, a dual-CAR CD19/CD22 targeting B cell malignancies and autoimmune diseases.”

“Our proof of concept studies demonstrate that our cell-directed, lipid-enabled delivery system can achieve stable CAR expression in T cells in vivo,” said Dr. Jacek Lubelski, Chief Technology Officer of NanoCell. “These results prove the mechanism of action for our non-viral vector technology approach.”
