Dr Raffaele Baffa, Chief Medical Officer of CARsgen, commented that "We are glad to receive the IND clearance from NMPA for the adjuvant treatment of CLDN18.2 positive pancreatic cancer using CT041. Pancreatic cancer remains a deadly disease with a dismal prognosis and lack of effective therapies. As indicated in previous clinical trials, CT041 has shown promising efficacies in treating pancreatic cancer. With this IND clearance, we look forward to exploring the use of CT041 for the adjuvant treatment and its potential to create deeper responses for pancreatic cancer patients.

Driven by the vision of 'Making Cancer Curable', we will continue to explore the use of our CAR T-cells in the earlier line treatment of various cancer types."
