PharmaShots: Enhancing Care with NK Cell Therapy

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, off-the-shelf, cryopreserved NK cell therapy candidate. AlloNK is designed to enhance the antibody-dependent cellular cytotoxicity (ADCC) effect of monoclonal antibodies (mAbs) to drive B-cell depletion
  • The funding raised through Artiva’s IPO, ongoing clinical trials, and the therapeutic strategy utilizing NK cells to advance oncology and autoimmune therapies.
