Adap­ti­m­mune pledges $312M for Noile-Im­mune's T cell boost­ing tech in dri­ve to de­liv­er on TCR promise

When Adri­an Raw­cliffe of­fi­cial­ly steps in­to the CEO role at Adap­ti­m­mune in a few days, he will have a new part­ner­ship to ex­e­cute in one of his first ef­forts to shore up some en­thu­si­asm for its T cell ther­a­py pro­grams.

In a $312 mil­lion pact, the US-UK hy­brid biotech has en­list­ed Noile-Im­mune for a next-gen­er­a­tion project that will boost Adap­ti­m­mune’s SPEAR T cells with the Japan­ese com­pa­ny’s PRIME plat­form. In ad­di­tion to the re­cep­tors en­gi­neered in­to the T cells, the re­sult­ing prod­uct would be armed with the cy­tokines IL-7 and CCL19.
