SAN FRANCISCO and BERLIN, March 25, 2025 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- T-knife Therapeutics, Inc., a biopharmaceutical company developing T cell receptor (TCR) engineered T cell therapies (TCR-T) to fight cancer, today announced that five abstracts highlighting its PRAME-targeted TCR-T therapy, TK-6302, and its platform technologies will be presented at the upcoming American Association for Cancer Research (AACR) Annual Meeting taking place from April 25-30, 2025 in Chicago, IL.

“Our work presented at the AACR annual congress is a reflection of the tremendous advances we have made in the development of TCR-T therapies,” stated Peggy Sotiropoulou, Ph.D., Chief Scientific Officer of T-knife. “TCR-T therapies have been successful in indications such as synovial sarcoma and melanoma, validating the clinical benefit of this therapeutic modality. However, challenges, including maintaining optimal T cell function and persistence as well as overcoming the immunosuppressive tumor microenvironment, have hindered the true potential of TCR-T therapies. This is where T-knife's innovative engineered technologies make a difference, and we look forward to presenting our unique approach to enabling the potential for broad, deep and durable responses.”
