Developer of Novel Cancer Cell Immunotherapies

June 9, 2026,Nanjing Bioheng Biotech Co., Ltd. officially announced that its independently developed dual-target allogeneic CAR-T cell therapy, CTA313 (targeting CD19/BCMA), has successfully received approval for its Investigational New Drug (IND) application from the U.S. FDA.A Phase 1b basket registration clinical trial targeting B cell-mediated autoimmune diseases, including systemic lupus erythematosus, progressive multiple sclerosis, and autoimmune encephalitis, is即将 to be initiated.


Cross-Boundary Breakthrough!

Allogeneic CAR-T Opens a New Frontier in Autoimmune Diseases


CTA313 is an allogeneic CAR-T cell therapy targeting CD19 and BCMA, currently in the clinical research stage., derived from PBMCs of healthy donors, is designed to treat B cell-mediated autoimmune diseases. This product utilizes Bioheng Biotech’s proprietary ANSWER™ inhibitory ligand and gene-editing technology to enhance its resistance to host immune rejection, thereby improving treatment durability.


CTA313 can be manufactured and stored in advance, with a single production batch suitable for treating multiple patients, providing an “off-the-shelf” therapeutic solution for patients requiring CAR-T cell therapy.CTA313 has been evaluated in investigator-initiated trials (IITs) conducted in China, covering multiple autoimmune-related indications, including disease areas such as nephrology, rheumatology, endocrinology, gastroenterology, and hematology.
