Shares of CARsgen Therapeutics Holdings Ltd (02171) surged over 5% in early trading on Thursday after the company announced that the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) has lifted clinical holds on three of its investigational products.
The FDA has removed the holds on zevorcabtagene autoleucel, satricabtagene autoleucel, and CT071, allowing CARsgen to proceed with clinical trials for these promising cell therapy candidates. Zevorcabtagene autoleucel and satricabtagene autoleucel are CAR-T cell therapies being studied for the treatment of non-Hodgkin's lymphoma, while CT071 is a CAR-T therapy targeting solid tumors.
CARsgen is a biopharmaceutical company focused on developing innovative cell therapies for cancer and other diseases. The lifting of the FDA clinical holds represents a significant milestone for the company and paves the way for further clinical development of its pipeline.
