About ImmunityBio, Inc.
ImmunityBio is a vertically-integrated commercial stage
biotechnology company developing next-generation therapies that
bolster the natural immune system to defeat cancers and infectious
diseases. The Company’s range of immunotherapy platforms, alone and
together, act to drive an immune response with the goal of creating
durable immune memory generating safe protection against disease.
Designated an FDA Breakthrough Therapy, ANKTIVA® is the first
FDA-approved immunotherapy for non-muscle invasive bladder cancer
CIS that activates natural killer cells, T cells, and memory T
cells for a long-duration response. The Company is applying its
science and platforms to treating cancers, including the
development of potential cancer vaccines, as well as developing
immunotherapies and cell therapies that we believe sharply reduce
or eliminate the need for standard high-dose chemotherapy. These
platforms and their associated product candidates are designed to
be more effective, accessible, and easily administered than current
standards of care in oncology and infectious diseases.
