Celyad - Allogeneic trial approved in colorectal cancer

The FDA’s sign off on Celyad’s first clinical trial design for its allogeneic NRK CAR T-cell therapy (CYAD-101) is an important milestone. The study, possibly staring in Q4 2018, mirrors the current colorectal SHRINK trial a combination of autologous CYAD-01 therapy with FOLFOX chemotherapy. This gives Celyad the lead in a mass-market solid cancer where allogeneic therapy is likely to be essential. The indicative value has been increased to €1,090m (€89 per share) from €1,040m (€84 per share) pending further data.
