Gda?sk, Poland – 26 September 2024 – PolTREG S.A. (Warsaw Stock Exchange: PTG), a clinical-stage biotechnology company developing cellular therapies for a range of autoimmune diseases, today announces it has launched a study with CAR-Treg cells in a humanized mouse model of neuroinflammatory disease. Data from the study are anticipated by March 30, 2025, and will help determine the pathway to clinical evaluation. The study will measure safety and efficacy of the CAR-Treg cell therapy, which will be administered systemically as well as intrathecally. PolTREG’s CAR-Treg cells are manufactured using the same technology platform as its lead product PTG-007, a polyclonal Treg cell therapy, for which PolTREG has gathered over a decade of clinical safety and efficacy data, largely in type-1 diabetes (T1D) patients.
