Vittoria Biotherapeutics Completes $25 Million in Private Financing to Propel Groundbreaking Cell Therapy Candidates
Current TAP Partner
PHILADELPHIA, Nov. 12, 2024 - Vittoria Biotherapeutics, Inc., a clinical-stage immunotherapy company specializing in the development of innovative cell therapies for hard-to-treat diseases, today announced the successful completion of a $25 million private financing round. This funding is a $10 million extension to its previous $15 million financing secured in November 2023.
The funds will primarily support the company’s Phase 1 clinical trial of its lead oncology candidate, VIPER-101, an autologous, dual-population T cell therapy, as a potential treatment of T-cell Lymphoma. VIPER-101 leverages the company’s proprietary platform technology, which enhances T cell effector function by abrogating CD5-mediated immunosuppression through gene editing. The platform also features a rapid, five-day manufacturing process that significantly improves production efficiency while delivering enhanced functional benefits in preclinical testing. Senza5 has demonstrated outstanding preclinical anti-tumor efficacy across a range of liquid and solid tumor models. Vittoria’s broader pipeline includes novel assets targeting solid tumors and autoimmune diseases.
