Avalon GloboCare Adds CAR-NK Cell Therapies To Expand Cellular Immuno-Oncology Platform

Avalon GloboCare Corp AVCO is expanding its cellular immuno-oncology program with the addition of novel Chimeric Antigen Receptor – Natural Killer (CAR-NK) cell therapies.

• Avalon is leveraging its mRNA-based FLASH-CAR platform to develop autologous and universal CAR-NK technology and cellular therapies for the potential treatment of hematologic malignancies and solid tumors. 
• The new CAR-NK therapies in development are intended to build upon and complement AVA-011, Avalon's lead CAR-T candidate.
• AVA-011 is currently at the IND-enabling process development stage.
