Gamida Cell to Host Virtual Event Highlighting GDA-201 and NAM-Enabled, Genetically Modified NK Cell Therapy Pipeline
September 28 2021 - 7:00AM
Business Wire
Gamida Cell Ltd. (Nasdaq: GMDA), an advanced cell therapy
company committed to cures for blood cancers and serious blood
diseases, today announced that it will host a virtual event
detailing the company’s proprietary NAM-enabled natural killer (NK)
cell therapy pipeline on Tuesday, October 26, 2021 at 8:00 a.m.
ET.
During the event, the company will highlight updates on the
clinical development of GDA-201, its lead cryopreserved,
off-the-shelf cell therapy candidate for the treatment of patients
with follicular and diffuse large b-cell lymphomas, and Gamida
Cell’s new development programs leveraging next-generation,
NAM-enabled, genetically modified NK cells in development for solid
tumors and hematological cancers. Specifically, Gamida Cell will
provide an update on the following genetically modified NK cell
therapies:
- GDA-301, a CISH knockout and membrane-bound IL-15 NK cell
construct that has demonstrated increased potency against leukemia
and multiple myeloma cell lines
- GDA-501, a CAR-HER2 NK cell construct that has shown increased
cytotoxicity against an ovarian tumor cell line
- GDA-601, a CD38 knockout + CD38 CAR NK cell construct that has
yielded increased cytotoxicity against a multiple myeloma cell
line
The event will feature management presentations and
participation by the following speakers:
- Jeff Miller, M.D., Professor of Medicine, Division of
Hematology, Oncology and Transplantation at University of
Minnesota
- Veronika Bachanova, M.D., Ph.D., Hematologist/Oncologist
at University of Minnesota Health
- Patient treated with GDA-201
The live event will be available at the following link. A replay

section of Gamida Cell’s website at www.gamida-cell.com, and will
be available for at least 14 days following the event.
About GDA-201
Gamida Cell applied the capabilities of its nicotinamide
(NAM)-based cell expansion technology to develop GDA-201, an innate
NK cell immunotherapy for the treatment of hematologic and solid
tumors in combination with standard of care antibody therapies.
GDA-201, the lead candidate in the NAM-enabled NK cell pipeline,
has demonstrated promising initial clinical trial results, as
reported at the 2020 American Society of Hematology (ASH) Annual
Meeting & Exposition1. GDA-201 addresses key limitations of NK
cells by increasing the cytotoxicity and in vivo retention and
proliferation in the bone marrow and lymphoid organs. Furthermore,
GDA-201 improves antibody-dependent cellular cytotoxicity (ADCC)
and tumor targeting of NK cells. For more information on the
clinical study of GDA-201, please visit
https://www.gamida-cell.com/our-rd/ and www.clinicaltrials.gov.
GDA-201 is an investigational therapy, and its safety and
efficacy have not been established by the FDA or any other health
authority.
