Nona and Umoja announce CAR-T deal

13 September 2024

US biotech Nona Biosciences has entered into a multi-target antibody discovery collaboration with Umoja Biopharma, an immunotherapy company creating off-the-shelf treatments that aim to extend the reach and effectiveness of CAR-T cell therapies in oncology and autoimmunity.

This collaboration will involve the use of Nona's fully human heavy chain only antibody (HCAb) technology to produce novel in vivo generated CAR-T cell therapy drug candidates.

Fully human HCAbs have the potential to significantly reduce immunogenicity and offer versatility in CAR design due to their compact size, simplified structure, and precisely calibrated binding properties.
