About Aurora BioPharma, Inc.

Aurora is leading in the development of Chimeric Antigen Receptor (CAR) T therapy in solid tumors. AU105 is a “living-drug” CAR T agent that has shown safety and efficacy in pre-clinical and human clinical trials. A Phase 1 trial was completed in 16 Glioblastoma patients, AU105 met its endpoints of safety, tumor killing efficacy, and showed promising signals of increased overall survival.
