NKGen Biotech To Present on Allogeneic Enhanced NK Cells without Lymphodepletion in Solid Tumors at the 13th Annual Immuno-Oncology Summit

SANTA ANA, Calif., Aug. 06, 2025 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- NKGen Biotech, Inc. (OTC: NKGN) (“NKGen” or the “Company”), a clinical-stage biotechnology company focused on the development and commercialization of innovative autologous and allogeneic natural killer (“NK”) cell therapeutics, today announced that Paul Y. Song, M.D., Chairman and Chief Executive Officer of NKGen, will present at the 13th Annual Immuno-Oncology Summit (the “Summit”) to be held in Philadelphia, PA, from August 11 - 13, 2025.

The Summit is a leading global event in cancer immunotherapy. Organized by Cambridge Healthtech Institute, the summit brings together top experts from industry and academia to explore the latest advances in cell therapies, innate immunity, bispecifics, and translational strategies. With multiple scientific tracks, high-impact presentations, and collaborative discussions, it serves as a premier forum for driving innovation and progress in the immuno-oncology field.

Presentation Details:

Title:Allogeneic Enhanced Natural Killer Cells without Lymphodepletion in Solid Tumors
Conference Track: Innate Immunity
Date and Time:   Wednesday, August 13, 2025; 2:50 PM ET



Dr. Song’s presentation will focus on the pivotal role of natural killer (NK) cells as primary effector cells in the innate immune response against cancer. Traditional allogeneic donor-derived therapies often require lymphodepletion to prevent immunologic rejection, a process that can compromise combination strategies aimed at enhancing T cell activity. Dr. Song will present scientific data and early clinical findings on NKGen’s allogeneic NK cell therapy, SNK02, which is being evaluated in solid tumors without the need for lymphodepletion.

Previously disclosed Phase 1 data for SNK02 in solid tumors, which may not be included in this presentation, is available on the page of the NKGen website under the “SNK02 Allogeneic” section.

Troculeucel was shown to internalize and digest amyloid and α-synuclein proteins in vitro and to improve CSF levels of amyloid, α-synuclein, and p-tau in Phase 1 patients in a largely dose-dependent manner. Troculeucel identifies a...
