Ernexa Therapeutics Announces New Data to be Presented at AACR Annual Meeting 2025
Conference attendees will get first look at new data that supports the potential of ERNA-101 to boost anti-tumor immunity in ovarian cancer
CAMBRIDGE, Mass., April 22, 2025 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) — Ernexa Therapeutics (Nasdaq: ERNA), developing innovative cell therapies for the treatment of advanced cancer and autoimmune disease, today announced that new data will be presented at the American Association for Cancer Research (AACR) Annual Meeting 2025 in Chicago.
The study explored the technology behind Ernexa’s lead cell therapy product, ERNA-101, which uses specially engineered cells to deliver treatment directly to ovarian tumors. By secreting immune-stimulating cytokines, this cell therapy treatment aims to reshape the tumor microenvironment and enhance anti-tumor immune responses, fighting off the cancer. The study was led by Michael Andreeff, M.D., Ph.D., from The University of Texas MD Anderson Cancer Center.
“We believe ERNA-101 represents a powerful new way to engage the immune system against difficult-to-treat cancers like ovarian cancer,” said Sanjeev Luther, President and CEO of Ernexa Therapeutics. “This study reinforces the promise of our treatments and their potential to reshape the future of cell therapy. We aim to offer hope for patients with advanced ovarian cancer, who often face limited treatment options and poor long-term outcomes.”
Details of the poster presentation session include:
Session Category: Immunology

About ErnexaTherapeutics
Ernexa Therapeutics (Nasdaq: ERNA) is developing innovative cell therapies for the treatment of advanced solid tumors and autoimmune disease. Ernexa’s core technology focuses on engineering induced pluripotent stem cells (iPSCs) and transforming them into induced mesenchymal stem cells (iMSCs). Ernexa’s allogeneic synthetic iMSCs provide a scalable, off-the-shelf treatment solution, without needing patient-specific cell harvesting.
Ernexa is developing two highly innovative cell therapy products, both currently in preclinical stages. ERNA-101 is the company’s lead cell therapy product, designed to activate and regulate the immune system’s response to recognize and attack cancer cells. ERNA-102 is a cell therapy product designed to target inflammation and treat autoimmune disease. The company’s initial focus is to develop ERNA-101 for the treatment of ovarian cancer.
