PHILADELPHIA and OXFORD, U.K., Aug. 03, 2017 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Adaptimmune Therapeutics plc (Nasdaq:ADAP), a leader in T-cell therapy to treat cancer, today reported financial results and business updates for the quarter ended June 30, 2017.
“This was a very exciting quarter for Adaptimmune,” commented James Noble, Adaptimmune’s Chief Executive Officer. “We made significant progress clinically by initiating our first trials with two proprietary programs, MAGE-A4 and AFP, and also initiated our first combination study with NY-ESO. We presented data in an oral presentation at ASCO, showing responses in all four cohorts in our NY-ESO synovial sarcoma study. And, importantly, we also extended our cash runway to late 2019, well past the expected data points on all three of our proprietary programs.
