Cellectis Presents Pre-Clinical Evidence of MUC1 CAR T-cells Reducing Triple-Negative Breast Cancer While Preserving Safety
NEW YORK, Sept. 03, 2024 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Cellectis (the "Company") (NASDAQ:CLLS), a clinical-stage biotechnology company using its pioneering gene-editing platform to develop life-saving cell and gene therapies, today published a scientific article in Science Advances suggesting that TALEN®-edited MUC1 CAR T-cells could be a potential treatment option for advance-stage triple negative breast cancer (TNBC) patients with limited therapeutic options.

Globally, breast cancer continues to be the most prevalent malignancy in women. Among all subtypes, triple-negative breast cancer (TNBC) stands out as the most aggressive form with high metastatic potential and poor survival rates.

Despite a few emerging targeted therapies under investigation, surgery, chemotherapy and radiation therapy continue to be the standard of care, and their success remains limited. As an alternative, Chimeric Antigen Receptor (CAR) T-cell therapies could hold promise for advance-stage TNBC patients as tumor-associated MUC1 antigen is overexpressed in a large number of patients thus offering a distinct target for treatment.
