Chimeric Therapeutics (CHM) has manufactured its phase one plasmids for its clinical trial.
CHM 2101 research grade plasmids have been manufactured, which the company said it considered a critical first step in the development of CDH17 CAR T.
CHM 2101 is a third generation CDH17 CAR T which is currently in preclinical development for treatment of neuroendocrine tumours, colorectal, pancreatic and gastric cancer.
Following a collaboration with the University of Pennsylvania, all research grade helper and transfer plasmids for the CDH17 CAR T have been completed and released.
