RORA Bio is developing a first-in-class T-cell platform for targeting indications across cancer and infectious diseases. The platform consists of a newly discovered, long-lived, stem-like memory cell population that we call “RORA-Tscm”. Since presence of RORA-Tscm cells correlates with reduced tumor burdens in animal models and is emerging as a hallmark of better clinical outcomes for some patients, we are developing these cells in two formats: 1) modified with a mono- or bispecific chimeric receptor antigen (CAR) to make new CAR-T drugs with potential to be more durable, safer and long-lasting, and 2) as a stand-alone therapy to reconstitute the immune system of HIV infected patients.
