| High Unmet Medical Need | UM171 Cell Therapy |
| Patients with high and very high-risk acute leukemias and myelodysplasias, including patients with refractory or active disease, patients requiring a second transplant, and patients with TP53 mutations or other genetic abnormalities, have limited treatment options with low survival outcomes and high incidence of relapse under the current standard of care. | UM171 Cell Therapy has successfully completed Phase 2 trials in high and very high-risk acute leukemias and myelodysplasias. |
| A Phase 3 trial is planned in 2024 for UM171 Cell Therapy for the treatment of high and very high-risk acute leukemias and myelodysplasias. | |
| Patients with hematological malignancies requiring a stem cell transplant who lack a readily available suitable donor, including familial, unrelated or haploidentical donor, or cord blood of sufficient quantity. | A Market Authorization Application (MAA) submission was completed and is under accelerated assessment with the European Medicines Agency (EMA) for the licensure of UM171 Cell Therapy for adult patients with hematological malignancies requiring a stem cell transplant who lack a readily available suitable donor. |
The use of UM171 Cell Therapy in other patient populations, including pediatric patients and patients with non-malignant hematological diseases, is also being explored.
