Unum Therapeutics receives patent for ACTR platform from USPTO


Unum Therapeutics announced that the United States Patent and Trademark Office, or USPTO, has issued U.S. patent 10,144,770. The patent covers design and use of the chimeric antibody-coupled T-cell receptor, or ACTR, platform technology that enables an engineered immune cell to be targeted via an antibody to attack certain cell types, including cancer cells. An ACTR-expressing T cell offers a number of potential advantages over alternative cell therapy approaches and clinical proof-of-concept for the ACTR technology has been demonstrated in two independent clinical trials sponsored by Unum Therapeutics. ACTR therapeutic programs targeting non-Hodgkin lymphoma, multiple myeloma, and HER2+ advanced cancers are currently in early stages of clinical testing.
