New facility expected to support expanded cGMP manufacturing of clinical and commercial supply of Company’s pipeline of mRNA cell therapies for the treatment of autoimmune diseases
“Our new headquarters and manufacturing facility will provide us with the infrastructure to support our next phase of growth while allowing us to remain in the vibrant I-270 Biotech Corridor community,” said
Cartesian’s internally manufactured portfolio of mRNA cell therapies is purposefully designed to expand the reach of cell therapy to autoimmunity with product candidates that have the potential to be administered conveniently and safely in an outpatient setting without lymphodepletion chemotherapy. Topline data from the Phase 2b study of Descartes-08 in myasthenia gravis (MG) is expected in mid-2024. This is the first randomized placebo-controlled trial of cell therapy in autoimmunity.
