Releases Details

Gaithersburg, Maryland – March 18, 2019: MaxCyte announced today that Debra K. Bowes, Chief Business Officer, CARMA™ Cell Therapy, will present “Novel mRNA-based Autologous CAR Therapies in Oncology” at two upcoming industry conferences. The 13th Annual International Partnering Conference BIO-Europe Spring® takes place March 25–27 in Vienna, Austria. The inaugural 2019 Cell & Gene Meeting on the Mediterranean will be held April 23-25 in Barcelona, Spain.

Ms. Bowes will discuss MaxCyte’s next-generation autologous CAR (chimeric antigen receptor) therapies, highlighting how MaxCyte’s novel and proprietary CARMA platform in immuno-oncology has the ability to engineer CARs with transient persistence that may mitigate off-tumor toxicity and significantly reduce the turnaround time for delivery of autologous cell therapy to patients.

The presentation dates and times for each conference follow:

13^th Annual International Partnering Conference BIO-Europe Spring®

2019 Cell & Gene Meeting on the Mediterranean

Date:                                   Tuesday, April 23, 2019

Time:                                   2:45 p.m. CET

“Our novel CAR cell therapeutic products are engineered with the intention of reducing potential adverse events that have been evident with previous CAR technologies,” said Ms. Bowes. “This is significant, now more than ever, as we advance dosing of patients in our first clinical study with our first wholly-owned lead CAR therapeutic candidate, MCY-M11. I look forward to the opportunity to discuss our CARMA platform’s potential in a broad range of targets and cancers, including solid tumors, at the two upcoming European conferences.”

Investigators are currently evaluating the safety and effectiveness of intraperitoneal infusions of MCY-M11 in a multi-center, non-randomized, open label, dose-escalation Phase I clinical trial in individuals with ovarian cancer and peritoneal mesothelioma. More information about the study can be found at ClinicalTrials.gov.
