    Phase 1 Trial of RTX-240, allogeneic red blood cells engineered to express 4-1BBL and trans-presented IL-15, in patients (Pts) with advanced solid tumors (AACR 2022)
    RTX-240 is well tolerated at all tested doses, schedules and routes. The drug leads to activation, expansion and trafficking of two target cells (memory CD8+ T cells and NK cells) into the TME, exhibits a clear dose response effect with NK cells and demonstrates preliminary evidence of anti-tumor activity. Dose escalation continues and a PD-1 inhibitor combination arm is also enrolling.1

    Anti-tumor effects of RTX-240: an engineered red blood cell expressing 4-1BB ligand and interleukin-15. (PubMed, Cancer Immunol Immunother)
    RTX-240 promotes T cell and NK cell activity in preclinical models and shows efficacy and an improved safety profile. Based on these data, RTX-240 is now being evaluated in a clinical trial.

    [VIRTUAL] A phase 1 trial of RTX-240, an allogeneic engineered red blood cell with cell -surface expression of 4-1BBL and trans-presented IL-15, in patients with advanced solid tumors (AACR 2021)
    RTX-240 is tolerable and leads to activation, expansion and trafficking of memory CD8+ T cells and NK cells, with preliminary evidence of anti-tumor activity. Exploration of the dose and schedule are ongoing in this study (NCT04372706).1
