About the STAR-T Platform The STAR-T platform combines the strengths of traditional cell therapy technologies of CAR-T (Chimeric Antigen Receptor T-Cell Immunotherapy) and TCR-T (T cell receptor engineered T-cell Immunotherapy). Using the TCR machinery, the platform produces STAR-T cells able to potentially generate robust responses against solid tumors with fewer side effects.

The company’s pipeline includes product candidates indicated for hematologic malignancies and solid tumors. BriSTAR has two proprietary technology platforms; STAR-T and enTCR-T. The STAR-T platform, like CAR-T is HLA-independent. It also uses the full TCR-signaling complex to engage and kill cancer cells. The enTCR-T platform engages co-stimulatory signaling, in addition to the TCR complex, for clearing viral infections.
