BPK and YB agreed to collaborate in the following areas to verify combined therapy of YBL-006 and anti-CD19 CAR T-cell therapy;

1. Plan and implement pre-clinical trial(animal) for combined therapy
2. Conduct a study of action mechanism and bio marker of combined therapy

4. And other essential items to fulfill the intended goal of the agreement

Dr. Sang Mok Lee, CEO & President of CURE explains “I am excited to see BPK collaborate with Y Biologics to take the first step to move forward to develop a next generation anticancer treatment for solid tumors. CURE will be able to commercialize a blood cancer immune therapy using CAR T Cell Therapy within 2 years and it is our ultimate goal to treat solid tumors with CAR T Cell Therapy. I believe that a successful outcome from this collaboration could bring CURE an opportunity to present epoch-marking anticancer therapy for solid tumors to life-threatening patients. This might be one of our most powerful pipeline products to give the significant returns to our loyal shareholders who have been supporting us for many years.”
