About Genenta and Temferon
Genenta (www.genenta.com) is a clinical-stage biotechnology company engaged in the development of a proprietary hematopoietic stem cell therapy for the treatment of a variety of solid tumor cancers. Temferon™ is based on ex-vivo gene transfer into autologous Tie2+ hematopoietic stem/progenitor cells (HSPCs) to deliver immunomodulatory molecules directly via tumor-infiltrating monocytes/macrophages (Tie2 Expressing Monocytes - TEMs). Temferon is currently under investigation in a clinical trial for newly diagnosed Glioblastoma Multiforme patients with an unmethylated MGMT gene promoter (uMGMT-GBM) and expects to commence a Phase 1 clinical trial for metastatic Renal Cell Carcinoma (mRCC). Temferon is designed to reach solid tumors, induce a durable immune response not restricted to pre-selected tumor antigens nor type, and avoid systemic toxicity, which are some of the main unresolved challenges in immuno-oncology.
