Genocea Biosciences to Host Investor Webinar
CAMBRIDGE, Mass., April 04, 2022 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- (Nasdaq: GNCA), a biopharmaceutical company developing next-generation neoantigen immunotherapies, today announced details for a planned investor webinar to coincide with the American Association for Cancer Research (AACR) Annual Meeting 2022, taking place April 8-13. The presentation, beginning at 4:30 PM EDT on Friday, April 8th will be followed by a Q&A session. The Genocea team will discuss , including late-breaking data from the TiTAN™ clinical trial for the neoantigen-targeted peripheral T cell therapy product candidate GEN-011, and results demonstrating successful production of GEN-011 using Genocea’s PLANET™ manufacturing process.
Featured speakers include:
- Melissa Johnson, MD, Medical Oncologist at Sarah Cannon Research Institute at Tennessee Oncology
- Chip Clark, President & Chief Executive Officer, Genocea Biosciences
- Tom Davis, MD, Chief Medical Officer, Genocea Biosciences
- Jessica Flechtner, PhD, Chief Scientific Officer, Genocea Biosciences
- Ray Stapleton, PhD, Chief Technology Officer, Genocea Biosciences

About GEN-011
GEN-011 is a neoantigen-targeted peripherally derived T cell therapy candidate comprised of autologous CD4+ and CD8+ T cells that are specific for up to 30 ATLAS-identified neoantigens to limit tumor escape. NPTs have minimal bystander, non-tumor-specific cells, and are devoid of Inhibigen-specific cells which may be detrimental to clinical response.
About the GEN-011 TiTAN clinical trial
TiTAN is an open-label, multi-center Phase1/2a trial evaluating safety, tolerability, T cell persistence and proliferation and clinical efficacy. The TiTAN clinical trial is testing two dosing regimens, a repeated fractional dose regimen of GEN-011 without lymphodepletion and a single dose administration of GEN-011 after lymphodepletion. Both groups will receive interleukin-2 after GEN-011 dosing to maximize the tumor-killing potential of the infused cells.
About Genocea Biosciences, Inc.
Genocea’s mission is to identify the right tumor targets to develop life-changing immunotherapies for people suffering from cancer. Our proprietary ATLAS™ platform can comprehensively profile each patient’s T cell responses to potential targets, or antigens, on that patient’s tumor. ATLAS zeroes in on both antigens that activate anti-tumor T cell responses and inhibitory antigens, Inhibigens™, that drive pro-tumor immune responses. We have two ATLAS-enabled programs: GEN-009, our neoantigen vaccine for which we are conducting a Phase 1/2a clinical trial and GEN-011, our adoptive T cell therapy comprising neoantigen-targeted peripheral cells for which we are conducting a Phase 1/2a clinical trial. In addition to our two clinical programs, we are conducting research in several areas where we believe ATLAS could be a key tool in optimizing antigen selection for therapies across a number of diseases.
