About Adaptimmune Therapeutics plc (Nasdaq:ADAP):
Adaptimmune is focused on the use of T cell therapy to treat cancer. Established in 2008 with a research base in Oxford, UK and a clinical base in Philadelphia, US, the company aims to utilize the body’s own machinery – the T cell – to target and destroy cancerous cells by using engineered, increased affinity T cell receptor (TCRs) as a means of strengthening natural patient T cell responses. Adaptimmune’s lead program is an affinity enhanced TCR therapeutic targeting the NY-ESO cancer antigen. Its NY-ESO TCR therapeutic candidate has demonstrated signs of efficacy and tolerability in Phase 1/2 trials in solid tumors and in hematologic cancer types. In June 2014, Adaptimmune announced that it had entered into a strategic collaboration and licensing agreement with GlaxoSmithKline for the development and commercialization of the NY-ESO TCR program. In September, the company completed a $104 million Series A financing round. Adaptimmune has over 100 staff. For more information: http://www.adaptimmune.com
