Context

Celyad is a Phase I European biotech company focused on the development of innovative CAR-T cell therapy.

Its lead candidate CYAD-01, is leveraging the differentiated receptor NKG2D, which is being developed for the treatment of haematological malignancies and solid tumours.

The company has had promising Phase I data, with positive responses in several leukaemia patients and the stabilization of colorectal and ovarian cancer diseases in some patients.

The company is currently using a combination trio of disruptive, first-in-class, non-gene-edited allogenic CAR-Ts which are due to enter clinics in 2020-21.

Celyad has strong expertise in cell therapy manufacturing; all of its facility and global logistics capabilities are centralized in-house.

Celyad enjoys a strong intellectual property position owing to their NKG2D CAR-T technology. In 2017, Celyad granted Novartis a non-exclusive license for allogeneic TCR deficient CAR-T cells patents.

The global equity offering was aimed to further finance its R&D effort and general corporate purposes.
