The technique is currently being investigated for diagnosing the immune status of a patient, measuring the efficacy of immunotherapies and predicting patients’ outcomes.

Leucid Bio chief business officer Artin Moussavi said: “This is an exciting partnership for Leucid as this cutting-edge technology will provide evidence of the biodistribution of LEU011 CAR T-cells.

“This will be the first time this technology will be used in a solid tumour CAR-T clinical setting, allowing Leucid to generate data that demonstrate the tracking of LEU011 to tumour sites in the first phase of the trial.

“This data would validate in humans the significant improvements already demonstrated with LEU011 in preclinical studies.”
