Cell Source announces interim results from Veto Cell clinical trial

Cell Source (CLCS) shared interim results from its Phase 1/2 First-in-Human clinical trial conducted at The University of Texas MD Anderson Cancer Center. The trial has treated 15 patients using Cell Source’s proprietary Veto Cell technology in stem cell transplants for malignant and non-malignant hematologic diseases. These early results indicate both safety and efficacy, marking a promising advance in stem cell transplant outcomes . Previously presented at the American Society for Hematology Annual Meeting, the interim study results highlight: Consistent engraftment without severe GvHD: Achieved at 42 days post- transplant with T-cell-depleted, haploidentical stem cell transplants under reduced intensity conditioning. No toxicity linked to Veto Cells: No patients experienced adverse effects directly associated with Veto Cells. Enhanced protocol: A mild conditioning regimen, combined with Rituximab to prevent antibody-related complications, makes transplants safer and suitable for a broader range of patients. These findings underscore the potential of Veto Cells to increase access to life-saving allogeneic transplants for cancer patients and individuals with non-malignant blood disorders, supporting the strategic advancement of Cell Source’s technology.
