Luminary Therapeutics is a clinical stage allogeneic cellular therapy company. Its gamma delta expansion platform coupled with its non-viral cell engineering process is unique in the industry.

Luminary Therapeutics’ novel ligand-based CAR designed to bind three targets is set to enter the clinic in the early Fall of 2022 to treat Mantle Cell Cancer and Multipe Myeloma with its LMY-920 Cell Therapy. This BAFF CAR-T product was developed by Reshmi Parameswaran, PhD, an assistant professor at the Case Western Reserve School of Medicine and a faculty member in the Division of Hematology and Oncology, Department of Medicine, and the Seidman Cancer Center at University Hospitals (UH) in Cleveland.

“This recognition by the NIH is a validation on the thoughtful work completed to bring this cell therapy into the clinic. Luminary achieved this clinical milestone in a short two year period attributable to our ability to manufacture a cell therapy with a significantly lower cost and reduced time to clinic via a non-viral gene modification manufacturing method,” said Jeff Liter Luminary’s CEO.
