Five abstracts to be presented on the pre-clinical and clinical results, demonstrating the breadth and versatility of the Company’s allogeneic, off the shelf, placental derived cell therapy platform in multiple myeloma and lymphoma
WARREN, N.J.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Celularity, Inc., a clinical-stage cell therapeutics company developing allogeneic cellular therapies harnessed from human placentas, today announced it will present data supporting its allogeneic, off-the-shelf, placental derived cell therapy programs at the 61st American Society of Hematology (ASH) Annual Meeting and Exposition, taking place December 7-10 at the Orange County Convention Center in Orlando, Florida.
“We believe the placenta is nature’s cell factory, and the data being presented at ASH will illustrate the potential of our investigational placental derived NK- and T cell-based allogeneic cell therapy programs in oncology,” said Robert J. Hariri, M.D., Ph.D., Founder, Chairman and CEO at Celularity. “We look forward to advancing Celularity’s leading-edge technologies that harness the placenta’s unique immunologic and pro-regenerative biology to produce therapeutic solutions targeting unmet healthcare needs globally.”
ASH abstracts are now available at https://www.hematology.org/.

About PNK-007
PNK‐007 is the only allogeneic, off-the-shelf NK cell therapy being developed from placental hematopoietic stem cells as a potential treatment option for various hematologic cancers and solid tumors. NK cells are a unique class of immune cells, innately capable of targeting cancer cells and interacting with adaptive immunity. When derived from the placenta, these cells offer intrinsic safety and versatility, allowing potential use across a range of organs and tissues. PNK cells are currently being investigated as a treatment for acute myeloid leukemia (AML) and multiple myeloma (MM).
About CYNK-001
CYNK-001, a cryopreserved formulation of PNK-007 cells, is the only cryopreserved, off-the-shelf NK cell therapy being developed from placental hematopoietic stem cells as a potential treatment option for various hematologic cancers and solid tumors.
