Celyad (Euronext Brussels and Paris, and Nasdaq: CYAD), a clinical-stage biopharmaceutical company focused on the development of CAR-T cell-based therapies, today announced that Professor Dr. Eric Van Cutsem from Universitair Ziekenhuis Leuven (UZ Leuven) will present data from the NKG2D-based autologous and allogeneic CAR-T candidates, CYAD-01 and CYAD-101, respectively, at the upcoming European Society for Medical Oncology (ESMO) 21st World Congress on Gastrointestinal Cancer (WCGIC) to be held on July 3-6, 2019, in Barcelona, Spain. Following the oral and poster presentations at WCGIC, Celyad’s management team will host a conference call to discuss the initial clinical results from the SHRINK and alloSHRINK trials.
Filippo Petti, CEO of Celyad noted “We are honored to have Professor Dr. Van Cutsem present preliminary data from our SHRINK and alloSHRINK trials, including an initial glimpse of data from the industry’s first off-the-shelf investigational non-gene edited CAR-T candidate, CYAD-101. The comparable trial designs investigating similar NKG2D-based CAR-T therapies should provide for a unique comparison of an autologous and allogeneic engineered cell therapy approach for the treatment of metastatic colorectal cancer.”
