AFMD also released positive initial clinical data from an investigator-sponsored study on the same day. A study at the MD Anderson Cancer Center at The University of Texas was conducted for the study. Objectives of the trials included investigating the cord blood-derived natural killer (cbNK) cells’ activity when pre-complexed with AFMD’s innate cell engager (ICE) AFM13 (CD16A/CD30).
What do the study results meant for AFMD?
This revolutionary treatment has been tested in humans for the first time and has been shown to be both safe and effective, which will be an encouraging factor for Affirmed (AFMD). Research indicates that AFMD’s treatment may help the immune system find and destroy cancer cells. By taking advantage of these approaches, AFMD will be able to optimize treatment options for a variety of hematologic and solid tumors, by leveraging the unique and differentiating features of its ICE molecules.
