AURORA BIOPHARMA

Aurora Biopharma is a clinical stage company founded on a single mission to revolutionize the treatment of cancer, by using the human body’s immune system. Aurora is developing state-of-the-art cancer immunotherapy, a form of adoptive cell transfer called Chimeric Antigen Receptor (CAR) T cells therapy. A cancer patient’s blood is withdrawn, and their T cell is extracted from their white blood cells, genetically edited to express a CAR specific to that type of cancer cell, and re-infused bac... k to the patient to target and kill cancer cells. The US Food & Drug Administration (FDA) has awarded CAR T Cell Therapy its Breakthrough Therapy Designation in the treatment of pediatric and adult acute lymphoblastic leukemia and non-Hodgkin lymphoma. Aurora plans to be the first company to achieve a fast track approval review bring to market CAR T Cell Therapy for solid tumor cancers, starting with its ongoing trials in Glioblastoma.
