Adaptimmune Therapeutics plc, a clinical-stage biopharmaceutical company, focuses on the provision of cancer immunotherapy products based on its T-cell receptor platform. Its platform enables to identify cancer targets; find and genetically engineer T-cell receptors (TCR); and produce TCR therapeutic candidates for administration to patients.
They have multiple trials ongoing in both solid tumours and hematologic cancer types, and in cancers where survival rates for patients can be very limited. Their T-cell therapies have already shown preliminary evidence of tumor reduction in patients and also show a promising risk/benefit profile.
The company also has a clinical trial collaboration agreement with Merck & Co., Inc. for the assessment of NY-ESO specific peptide enhanced affinity receptor T-cell therapy in combination with anti-programmed death-1 inhibitor in patients with multiple myeloma. Adaptimmune Therapeutics plc was founded in 2014 and is headquartered in Abingdon, the United Kingdom [2]
