Overview
FT516 is an investigational and engineered off-the-shelf natural killer (NK) cell therapy originating from induced pluripotent stem cells (iPSC). This compound expresses a high-affinity 158V, CD16 (hnCD16) Fc receptor that has an enhanced binding ability to tumor-targeting antibodies, and is resistant to downregulation. FT516 is currently being tested against acute myeloid leukemia, B-cell lymphoma, and solid tumors in combination with other compounds. It is also a potential therapy for COVID-19.
