Arovella Therapeutics Ltd is a biotechnology company focused on developing its invariant natural killer T (iNKT) cell therapy platform from Imperial College London to treat blood cancers and solid tumours. Arovella is also expanding its DKK1-peptide targeting technology licenced from MD Anderson and used in conjunction with its iNKT cell therapy platform. Arovella’s lead product is ALA-101. ALA-101 consists of CAR19- iNKT cells that have been modified to produce a Chimeric Antigen Receptor (CAR) that targets CD19. CD19 is an antigen found on the surface of numerous cancer types. iNKT cells also contain an invariant T cell receptor (iTCR) that targets α-GalCer bound CD1d, another antigen found on the surface of several cancer types. ALA101 is being developed as an allogeneic cell therapy, which means it can be given from a healthy donor to a patient.
