Gamida Cell to Host Virtual Event Highlighting GDA-201 and NAM-Enabled, Genetically Modified NK Cell Therapy Pipeline

https://finance.yahoo.com/news/gamida-cell-host-virtual-event-110000991.html

BOSTON, September 28, 2021--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Gamida Cell Ltd. (Nasdaq: GMDA), an advanced cell therapy company committed to cures for blood cancers and serious blood diseases, today announced that it will host a virtual event detailing the company’s proprietary NAM-enabled natural killer (NK) cell therapy pipeline on Tuesday, October 26, 2021 at 8:00 a.m. ET.

During the event, the company will highlight updates on the clinical development of GDA-201, its lead cryopreserved, off-the-shelf cell therapy candidate for the treatment of patients with follicular and diffuse large b-cell lymphomas, and Gamida Cell’s new development programs leveraging next-generation, NAM-enabled, genetically modified NK cells in development for solid tumors and hematological cancers. Specifically, Gamida Cell will provide an update on the following genetically modified NK cell therapies:

GDA-301, a CISH knockout and membrane-bound IL-15 NK cell construct that has demonstrated increased potency against leukemia and multiple myeloma cell lines

GDA-501, a CAR-HER2 NK cell construct that has shown increased cytotoxicity against an ovarian tumor cell line

GDA-601, a CD38 knockout + CD38 CAR NK cell construct that has yielded increased cytotoxicity against a multiple myeloma cell line

The event will feature management presentations and participation by the following speakers:

Jeff Miller, M.D., Professor of Medicine, Division of Hematology, Oncology and Transplantation at University of Minnesota

Veronika Bachanova, M.D., Ph.D., Hematologist/Oncologist at University of Minnesota Health

Patient treated with GDA-201

The live event will be available at the following link. A replay of the webcast will be available on the "Investors & Media" section of Gamida Cell’s website at www.gamida-cell.com, and will be available for at least 14 days following the event.

About GDA-201

Gamida Cell applied the capabilities of its nicotinamide (NAM)-based cell expansion technology to develop GDA-201, an innate NK cell immunotherapy for the treatment of hematologic and solid tumors in combination with standard of care antibody therapies. GDA-201, the lead candidate in the NAM-enabled NK cell pipeline, has demonstrated promising initial clinical trial results, as reported at the 2020 American Society of Hematology (ASH) Annual Meeting & Exposition1. GDA-201 addresses key limitations of NK cells by increasing the cytotoxicity and in vivo retention and proliferation in the bone marrow and lymphoid organs. Furthermore, GDA-201 improves antibody-dependent cellular cytotoxicity (ADCC) and tumor targeting of NK cells. For more information on the clinical study of GDA-201, please visit https://www.gamida-cell.com/our-rd/ and www.clinicaltrials.gov.

GDA-201 is an investigational therapy, and its safety and efficacy have not been established by the FDA or any other health authority.
