Equity Research | Therapeutic Elicera | EIC Grant Offers Validation of CAR T ELC-301 Project

With the grant of 2.5 MEUR from the
2.5 MEUR funding for ELC-301
Elicera is a clinical-stage cell and gene therapy company developing immuno-oncology therapies focused on CART-enhanced T cells and oncolytic viruses. Elicera now believes that the planned phase I/II clinical development of the CAR T-cell ELC-301 therapy will be fully funded, having obtained 26 MSEK from the
Elicera armed with a broad product portfolio
The approved CAR T-cell therapies available today target the CD19 protein and although these have been shown to be effective, a large proportion of patients are either resistant to treatment or relapse within twelve months. These patients then often lost the CD19 target antigen on recurrent tumors. ELC-301, which is the fourth generation CAR T cell therapy, instead targets the CD20 protein, which is expressed on all B-cell lymphoma cells. ELC-301 is also armed with platform iTANK technology Elicera CAR T Cell Amplifier that delivers a broader attack on cancer by also activating the patient’s own T cells against all of the relevant target antigens on tumor cells, not just CD19 or CD20. In addition to ELC-301 and ELC-100, Elicera has two additional drug candidates in its pipeline, ELC-201 and ELC-401, both in the preclinical phase.
A stable pipeline of triggers supports revaluation potential
For Elicera’s other project, ELC-100, an oncolytic virus for the treatment of neuroendocrine tumors, we now look forward to efficacy data from the ongoing Phase I/II study in 2022. With a portfolio of immuno-oncology projects in the clinical and preclinical phases, as well as the iTANK platform which is already in the commercial phase, and a stable pipeline of triggers during the year, more
