The INDs are for a phase I clinical trial of intravenously delivered allogenic CAR T cells for epithelial ovarian carcinoma and malignant pleural mesothelioma, as well as for another phase 1 trial for an intrapleural/intraperitoneal-delivered allogenic CAR T cells for epithelial ovarian carcinoma and malignant pleural mesothelioma.
