“Results of immunotherapy trials for mCRPC have been disappointing,” said Professor Matt Rettig, Professor of Medicine and Urology, Medical Director of the Prostate Cancer Program at the David Geffen School of Medicine at UCLA and member of the Jonsson Comprehensive Cancer Center. “After many failures using T-cell focused immunotherapy approaches, targeting NK cells -- which are abundant in the prostate cancer tumor microenvironment -- is a promising and novel strategy. I am optimistic about the therapeutic potential of INKmune, an off-the-shelf innate immune therapy.”  Professor Rettig was deeply involved in the design of the clinical trial.  Dr. Rettig’s statements should not be construed as endorsement by the University of California.

Key Points: 
  • “After many failures using T-cell focused immunotherapy approaches, targeting NK cells -- which are abundant in the prostate cancer tumor microenvironment -- is a promising and novel strategy.
