Celyad to Host Key Opinion Leader Meeting on CAR-T Therapy for the Treatment of Blood Cancers

February 13, 2018 By Celyad

Mont-Saint-Guibert, Belgium – Celyad (Euronext Brussels and Paris, and NASDAQ: CYAD), a clinical-stage biopharmaceutical company, today announced that it will host a Key Opinion Leader luncheon on the topic of CYAD-01 (CAR-T NKG2D) cell therapy for the treatment of blood cancers in New York City on Tuesday, February 20.

The meeting will feature a presentation by Key Opinion Leader Marco Davila, MD, PhD (Moffitt Cancer Center), who will discuss the evolving treatment landscape of CAR-T therapies in development, as well as the unmet medical need for treating patients with blood cancers, including Acute Myeloid Leukemia (AML). Dr. Davila will be available to answer questions at the conclusion of the event.

Celyad’s management team will provide details about the clinical strategy of its lead candidate, CYAD-01, an autologous CAR-T NKG2D cell therapy in clinical development for patients with hematological and solid cancers.

Marco Davila, MD, PhD is an Associate Member of the Blood and Marrow Transplantation Department at the Moffitt Cancer Center and an Associate Professor of Oncologic Sciences at the University of South Florida. His research is dedicated to developing gene-engineered cell therapies that target cancer cells in animal models of cancer. The goal of this research is to identify optimal cell therapies that can then be evaluated in cancer patients. He has also been the Principal Investigator on several clinical trials using genetically engineered T-cells targeted against malignant B cells. Dr. Davila’s laboratory at the Moffitt Cancer Center is interested in developing further chimeric antigen receptors (CARs) that can target hematologic and solid tumor malignancies. His work has been published in many peer-reviewed medical journals.

This event is intended for institutional investors, sell-side analysts, investment bankers, and business development professionals only. Please RSVP in advance if you plan to attend, as space is limited. For those who are unable to attend in person, a live webcast and replay will be accessible here.
