Marker Therapeutics, Inc.MRKR · BiotechHouston, United States

Marker Therapeutics, Inc. is a clinical-stage immuno-oncology company focused on discovering and bringing to market a variety of T cell-based immunotherapies and peptide-based vaccines. These cutting-edge treatments are engineered to address both blood cancers (hematological malignancies) and solid tumor conditions across the United States. A cornerstone of their approach is the proprietary MultiTAA-specific T cell technology. This method involves producing T cells that are not genetically modified but are specifically designed to target tumors. These specialized T cells can identify multiple antigens associated with tumors, allowing them to effectively eliminate cancer cells that express these markers. Marker Therapeutics' MultiTAA-specific T cell therapies encompass patient-derived (autologous) T cells for treating lymphoma and various solid tumors, as well as donor-derived (allogeneic) T cells for acute myeloid leukemia and acute lymphoblastic leukemia. They also provide "off-the-shelf" solutions applicable to a range of diseases. In addition to T cell therapies, the company is advancing peptide-based immunotherapeutic vaccines. This pipeline includes TPIV100/110, developed to combat breast and ovarian cancer cells, and TPIV200, which is currently undergoing Phase 2 clinical trials for the treatment of breast and ovarian cancers. Founded in 1999, Marker Therapeutics maintains its headquarters in Houston, Texas.
