We plan to apply the XCART technology platform to develop cell-based therapeutics targeting the unique B-Cell receptor on the surface of an individual patient’s malignant tumor cells for the treatment of B-Cell lymphomas, an area of significant unmet medical need. Non-Hodgkin lymphoma (NHL) is a cancer that originates in the lymphatic system, with approximately 75,000 new cases each year, and represents a $5 billion market opportunity.1
