Preclinical data demonstrate profound B cell depletion and repopulation with predominantly naïve B cells in non-human primates, achieved through novel CD8-targeted lipid nanoparticles (tLNPs) delivering mRNA encoding a CAR

Additional preclinical data demonstrate effective CAR engineering of T cells from healthy subjects and patients with autoimmune diseases

SAN DIEGO–(BUSINESS WIRE)–Capstan Therapeutics, Inc. (“Capstan”), a biotechnology company dedicated to advancing in vivo reprogramming of cells through RNA delivery using CellSeeker™, a targeted lipid nanoparticle (tLNP) technology platform, today announced it will present preclinical data on CPTX2309, Capstan’s lead in vivo CAR-T candidate, at the American College of Rheumatology (ACR) Convergence 2024, taking place between November 14-19, 2024 in Washington, D.C.

CPTX2309, a product of Capstan’s CellSeeker™ platform, delivers an mRNA payload encoding an anti-CD19 CAR to preferentially reprogram CD8-expressing T cells. The therapeutic goal of this approach is to achieve a reset of the immune system through rapid and deep B cell depletion in both blood and lymphoid tissues, without the challenges of conventional ex vivo CAR-T.

Capstan’s non-viral in vivo CAR-T approach is designed to bring together the unprecedented potency of CAR-T therapy with the convenience, pharmacological tunability, and scalability of a conventional biologic,” said Adrian Bot, M.D., Ph.D., Chief Scientific Officer and Executive Vice President of R&D at Capstan. “Data presented at the conference will support the development of CPTX2309 for a potentially broad range of B cell-mediated autoimmune diseases, with the therapeutic goal of resetting a patient’s immune system in order to achieve a durable, drug-free clinical response.”
