NKGen Biotech To Present SNK01 Clinical Data at the European Society for Medical Oncology (ESMO) Congress 2022

SANTA ANA, Calif., September 6, 2022 – NKGen Biotech, a biotechnology company harnessing the power of the body’s immune system through the development of Natural Killer (NK) cell therapies, today announced that compassionate use cases of SNK01 + an immune checkpoint inhibitor in patients with advanced sarcoma have been accepted for poster presentation at the European Society for Medical Oncology (ESMO) Annual Congress being held in Paris, France, September 9 – 13, 2022.

Poster Presentation

Title: USFDA Authorized Compassionate Use of SNK01 (Autologous Non-Genetically Modified Natural Killer Cells with Enhanced Cytotoxicity) and Checkpoint Inhibitors in Advanced Heavily Pre-treated Sarcoma: A Promising Regimen.
Poster #: P757
Date and Time: September 10, 2022, 10:38 am CEST
Poster Session:  13
Location:  Paris Expo Porte de Versailles; Poster Area, Hall 4

Promising data aggregated from eight USFDA approved compassionate use IND cases from metastatic sarcoma patients who received SNK01 combined with a checkpoint inhibitor will be disclosed during the poster presentation. The combination of SNK01 and a checkpoint inhibitor appears to have clinical activity against several types of heavily pre-treated advanced sarcomas, independent of PD-L1 status. The data also suggests that repeated dosing with the combination appears to be safe and well-tolerated.
