CAR T-Cell Therapy PlatformSAN DIEGO, Feb. 20, 2018 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Crown Bioscience, a wholly-owned subsidiary of Crown Bioscience International (TWSE:6554) and a global drug discovery and development services company providing translational platforms to advance oncology, inflammation, cardiovascular and metabolic disease research, enhances its existing platform for chimeric antigen receptor (CAR) T-cell agent evaluation with bioluminescent imaging capabilities. CAR T-cell therapies are an exciting advent in the evolving field of immune-therapeutics. CAR T-cell agents utilize CAR T-cells that recognize tumor-associated antigens and subsequently promote tumor elimination. The remarkable efficacy of CAR T-cell compounds has led to hundreds of clinical trials with two notable successes recently approved by the FDA to treat refractory B-cell precursor acute lymphoblastic leukemia (ALL). CrownBio, a leader in the field of preclinical immuno-oncology research, offers a CAR T-cell platform for proof-of-concept and therapeutc efficacy validation. Clinically relevant in vivo and in vitro models combine with a comprehensive suite of analytical services to enable efficient, early evaluation of CAR T-cell agents. The addition of bioluminescence imaging (BLI) for non-invasive evaluation of systemic and orthotopic tumor progression, in real-time, further enhances an already robust platform and provides a unique set of solutions to advance CAR T-cell therapies. “We are committed to delivering innovative services to help our clients’ develop improved cancer therapeutics,” said Dr. Rajendra Kumari, CrownBio’s Chief Scientific Officer, UK. “Our non-invasive BLI capabilities, applied to CAR T-cell evaluation platform, deliver cutting-edge in vivo data that helps drug developers uncover insights to guide successful downstream development and clinical application of CAR T-cell agents.” Learn more about CrownBio’s CAR T-cell evaluation platform at https://www.crownbio.com/oncology/immuno-oncology/car-t-cell-therapy-models/ About Crown Bioscience Inc.
