"We are seeing accelerating validation from both researchers and industry partners," said CEO David Weinstein. He added that the early licensing activity reflects growing confidence in the platform's potential to unlock scalable treatments.

Data For Cell Therapy

The cell therapy, Dendritic Cell Combination Therapy (DCCT), achieved complete regression of both primary and metastatic pancreatic tumors with no recurrence in humanized preclinical models.

The company has now proposed an early-stage clinical trial to evaluate the cell therapy, manufactured from healthy donor cells and stored ready-to-use, across several high-risk tumors, including pancreatic cancer, which has a poor survival rate.

Plans Ahead

Lunai is also advancing additional studies and expanding the clinical reach of its DCCT platform through collaborations with investigators in non-small cell lung cancer and prostate cancer.

Additionally, it is preparing for formal licensing negotiations and pursuing activities ahead of the commencement of human clinical trials in early 2026.
