CANDEL THERAPEUTICS INC (CADL)

Company Profile

Candel Therapeutics, Inc. is a late clinical stage biotechnology company, which engages in the development and commercialization of viral immunotherapies. The company is headquartered in Needham, Massachusetts and currently employs 76 full-time employees. The company went IPO on 2021-07-27. The firm is focused on helping patients fight cancer with oncolytic viral immunotherapies. Its engineered viruses are designed to induce immunogenic death through viral-mediated cytotoxicity in cancer cells, therefore releasing tumor neo-antigens and creating a pro-inflammatory microenvironment at the site of injection. The firm has two clinical-stage viral immunotherapy platforms based on novel, genetically modified adenovirus, and herpes simplex virus (HSV) constructs, respectively. Its two product candidates include CAN-2409 and CAN-3110. CAN-2409 is an adenovirus-based, replication-deficient engineered gene construct encoding the thymidine kinase gene derived from the herpes simplex virus. Its enLIGHTEN Discovery Platform is the systematic, iterative HSV-based discovery platform leveraging human biology and advanced analytics to create new viral immunotherapies for solid tumors.
