BioNTech SE (Nasdaq: BNTX, "BioNTech" or "the Company"), a next generation immunotherapy company pioneering novel therapies for cancer and infectious diseases, today announced that new clinical data from the first-in-human Phase 1/2 trial evaluating the Company's novel CAR-T cell therapy candidate, BNT211, will be presented in an oral presentation. The presentation is scheduled for the late-breaking abstract poster session at the 36(th) Annual Meeting of the Society for Immunotherapy of Cancer (SITC), being held both in person and virtually from November 10 - 14, 2021.
"Our goal is to leverage our understanding of immunology and tumor biology together with our advanced technologies to provide cancer patients with novel treatments," said Özlem Türeci, M.D., Co-Founder and Chief Medical Officer at BioNTech. "Claudin-6 is a new target that we believe is well-suited for CAR-T therapy and presents a differentiated avenue for the treatment of solid tumors. We appreciate the opportunity to present initial data from our first-in-human study of the CAR-T product candidate to leading immuno-oncology experts in this prestigious late-breaking forum, which further underline the potential of our technology."
BNT211 is an autologous CAR-T cell therapy targeting the oncofetal antigen Claudin 6 (CLDN6) and the first CAR-T product candidate in the Company's clinical development. BNT211 is currently being investigated as a monotherapy and in combination with a CLDN6-encoding mRNA-based vaccine (CARVac) in a first-in-human Phase 1/2 clinical trial
