MB-102 is a CAR T therapy in development for the treatment of acute myeloid leukemia (AML), blastic plasmacytoid dendritic cell neoplasm (BPDCN) and high-risk myelodysplastic syndrome (MDS). Mustang will continue its efforts on its IND filing to the FDA for MB-102.

We anticipate that our manufacturing facility will be ready to process patient cells in the next few months, which will help enable initiation of our Phase 1/2 clinical trial of MB-102 in AML, BPDCN and MDS to begin in 2019, after approval of Mustang’s first IND.”
