Marker Therapeutics Awarded $2 Million Grant from NIH in Support of Phase 1 Study Investigating MT-601 in CAR-Relapsed Patients with Non-Hodgkin’s Lymphoma
Marker Therapeutics (Nasdaq: MRKR) has been awarded a $2 million grant from the NIH Small Business Innovation Research program to support the clinical investigation of MT-601 in patients with non-Hodgkin's lymphoma (NHL) who have relapsed following anti-CD19 CAR T cell therapy. The grant will fund the nationwide multi-center Phase 1 APOLLO study, evaluating the safety and efficacy of MT-601, a multi-tumor associated antigen-specific T cell product.
The company has now received over $19 million in non-dilutive funding. Preliminary results from the APOLLO study show objective responses in all three study participants treated at City of Hope, with no cytokine release syndrome or immune effector cell associated neurotoxicity syndrome observed. This grant supports Marker's efforts to address the unmet medical need for patients who relapse after CD19-targeting CAR-T cell therapy.
