About TxCell – www.txcell.com

TxCell is a biotechnology company that develops platforms for innovative, personalized T cell immunotherapies for the treatment of severe chronic inflammatory and autoimmune diseases with high unmet medical need. TxCell is the only clinical stage cellular therapy company dedicated to the science of regulatory T lymphocytes (Tregs). Tregs are a recently discovered T cell population for which anti-inflammatory properties have been demonstrated.

TxCell is developing two proprietary technology platforms, ASTrIA and ENTrIA. ASTrIA is composed of autologous antigen-specific Type 1 Tregs. Ovasave®, TxCell’s lead drug-candidate originating from the ASTrIA platform, is currently in a phase IIb clinical trial in refractory Crohn’s disease patients. ENTrIA is composed of Chimeric Antigen Receptor engineered FoxP3+ regulatory T cells (CAR-Treg). TxCell launched two CAR-Treg development programs in Q2 2016, a first one targeting Lupus Nephritis with Ospedale San Raffaele (OSR) and a second one targeting Bullous Pemphigoid with the Lübeck Institute of Experimental Dermatology (LIED).

Based in Sophia-Antipolis, France, TxCell is listed on Euronext Paris and currently has 50 employees.
