Posoleucel is an investigational #Tcell therapy designed to target six common viruses that can have devastating consequences for people with immune deficiency. This T cell therapy is a living investigational drug, comprised of both CD8+ and CD4+ virus-specific T cells which expand in the presence of viral antigens, selectively killing the virus-infected cells, then contract once the virus is no longer detected.

More than 80% of allo-HCT patients reactivate one or more viruses and with limited to no treatment options when patients do reactivate a virus, there is a high unmet need within this population. Our investigational T cell therapy, posoleucel, seeks to treat or prevent six common but devastating viruses: adenovirus (AdV), BK virus (BKV), cytomegalovirus (CMV), Epstein-Barr virus, (EBV), human herpesvirus (HHV-6), and JC virus (JCV). Posoleucel has the potential to transform care for transplant recipients. #celltherapy #innovation #biotechnology
