DDW Editor Reece Armstrong speaks to Fred Aslan, MD, President and Chief Executive Officer of Artiva Biotherapeutics, about how to scale-up access to cell and gene therapies for patients suffering from autoimmune diseases. The rise of cell therapies in the past decade has led to meaningful clinical responses across both haematological diseases like blood cancer,…
Natural killer cells continuously patrol the human body, swiftly eliminating viruses and cancer cells, like sharks in prey-laden waters. Several biotech companies are harnessing the power of these innate immune crusaders in oncology and autoimmune diseases, potentially positioning them as a strong competitor to CAR-T cell therapies. “The advantage of NK cells over a T-cell approach…
Christopher Horan, Chief Technical Operations Officer, Artiva Biotherapeutics joins Cell & Gene: The Podcast Host, Erin Harris, to discuss the advantages natural killer (NK) cells have offer over T cells in terms of safety and efficacy for autoimmune disease. They take a deep dive into the key factors that make NK cells promising for ‘off-the-shelf’…
Fred Aslan from Artiva Biotherapeutics in Conversation with PharmaShots discusses: Immune reset in oncology has been observed with approved autologous CAR-T products. A study published in Nature demonstrated B-cell reconstitution and immune reset in systemic lupus erythematosus (SLE) patients treated with a CD19 autologous CAR-T, showcasing promising potential in autoimmune diseases Artiva’s AlloNK, an allogeneic,…
Chris Horan, Artiva’s Chief Technical Operations Officer, talks with BioProcess Insider about why decreased risk and inexpensive manufacturing might give allogeneic natural killer (NK) cell therapies the edge over chimeric antigen receptors (CAR)-T therapies. Read the article here.
Fred Aslan describes what the funds will enable Artiva to do in the clinic, and why he believes the company’s non-modified NK cell approach is the best platform for using a cell therapy for autoimmune conditions. Watch the interview here.
[excerpt] The early successors in cell therapy have mostly been CAR-T therapies, with the T standing for T cells. But T cells aren’t the only option for cell therapy. Promising work is being done with natural killer, or NK cells, a different kind of immune system cell that could work even better in some ways….
Chris Horan, chief technical operations officer, Artiva Biotherapeutics discusses with Cell & Gene natural killer (NK) cell therapies and Artiva’s experiences and strategies with its candidate, AlloNK. He answers the following questions: Why do NK cell therapies hold promise in treating autoimmune disease? What is the biggest technical/scientific challenge of developing NK-based therapies, and what…
Fred Aslan describes how Artiva is harnessing the ability of NK cells to act as a modulator of antibody dependent cellular cytotoxicity as a therapeutic property of its cell therapies. Watch the interview here.
Artiva Therapeutics is looking to dose the first patient in a Phase I/II trial assessing its cell therapy AlloNK in lupus nephritis (LN). CEO Fred Aslan told the Clinical Trials Arena that the company is currently enrolling patients on the trial with hopes to dose the first patient within H1 2024. Read the full article here.
