Today, we are thrilled to announce the successful closing of an oversubscribed Series B financing of $144M. This funding will propel the advancement of multiple programmed T cell product candidates to early clinical proof-of-concept in #ovariancancer and other #solidtumors, and further expand our pipeline and platform. We are also excited to welcome Jake Simson, PhD from RA Capital Management to our Board of Directors. Our lead program, OPB-101, is a mesothelin-specific CAR T cell enhanced by Outpace's proprietary technologies: OUTSMART™, OUTLAST™, OUTSPACER™, and OUTSAFE™. OPB-101 has shown complete elimination of solid tumors in stringent in vivo models at very low treatment doses (as low as 50,000 cells) and is on track for IND clearance and first dosing in 2025 for patients with advanced platinum-resistant epithelial ovarian, fallopian tube, or primary peritoneal cancer. We extend our gratitude to our world-class syndicate of investors for believing in and supporting our mission to revolutionize treatment outcomes for #patients battling #solidtumors. Read more in our press release: https://lnkd.in/eimM3UZi The Series B financing brings our total capital raised to approximately $200 million and was led by RA Capital Management, with participation from new investors Qatar Investment Authority (QIA), Surveyor Capital (a Citadel company), Sheatree Capital, Black Opal Ventures, Alexandria Venture Investments (Alexandria Real Estate Equities, Inc.), and other undisclosed investors. Outpace’s existing investors ARTIS Ventures, Playground Global, Bristol Myers Squibb Abstract Ventures, Civilization Ventures, Mubadala Capital, Breton Capital Ventures, Washington Research Foundation, Sahsen Ventures, LLC, also participated in the round. #proteindesign #celltherapy #oncology #solidtumors #AI #biotech #syntheticbiology #seattle #CAR #TCR
