Philadelphia, Pennsylvania and Oxford, United Kingdom--(Newsfile Corp. - April 11, 2023) - Adaptimmune Therapeutics plc (NASDAQ: ADAP), a leader in T-cell therapy to treat cancer, today announced entry into a transition agreement with GSK plc (LSE: GSK) (NYSE: GSK) regarding the return of rights and materials comprised within the PRAME and NY-ESO cell therapy programs.

"The return of these T-cell programs to Adaptimmune bolsters our pipeline and our leadership position in the field of engineered TCR T-cells for solid tumors," said Dr. Helen Tayton-Martin, Adaptimmune's Chief Business and Strategy Officer. "As we have outlined in our focus areas for 2023, we are especially eager to continue development of the PRAME asset, as it is a highly expressed and validated target across a broad range of solid tumor cancers and further complements the work we have done to-date with our MAGE-A4 clinical programs. We will continue to evaluate the emerging data for the NY-ESO asset to determine next steps."

  • Adaptimmune and GSK are collaborating to transition materials and data relating to the preclinical PRAME targeted TCR T-cell therapy program to Adaptimmune during 2023.

The parties are collaborating to ensure a smooth transition. All other clinical trials within the NY-ESO targeting program are already closed to enrollment and have already been or will soon be completed by GSK.
