Uza-cel

Overview

Overview

Uzatresgene autoleucel [uza-cel; formerly ADP-A2M4CD8] T-cell therapy is our first "next-generation" therapy and is directed to MAGE-A4, a member of the MAGE family of cancer-testis antigens expressed in a number of solid tumor types. What differentiates this therapy from our ADP-A2M4 T-cells is that these cells also express the CD8α co-receptor alongside the engineered TCR that targets MAGE-A4. Preclinical data indicate that co-expression of CD8α may broaden the immune response against solid tumors and increase anti-tumor activity by leveraging CD4+ cells into CD8+ killer or cytotoxic T‑cells while retaining their CD4+ helper function.

Cancer indications in the SURPASS Trial

Ovarian

Ovarian

Ovarian cancer begins in the ovaries, which are made up of three main kinds of cells. Each type of cell can develop into a different type of tumor.
