The latest funding brings the total venture capital financing secured by the company so far to $259m.
The company raised $109m in a Series C financing round completed in December 2021 and $47m in a Series B round in March 2021.
It has demonstrated promising cytotoxicity against a number of EGFR-expressing cancers in previous study models, using the company’s γδ2 T cell platform and the ACC technology. Acepodia CEO Sonny Hsiao stated: “These funds will directly promote the progression of our clinical and pre-clinical candidates and also continue the validation of our ACC and allogeneic gamma delta 2 T-cell platforms to advance the development of innovative, effective and importantly affordable off-the-shelf allogeneic cell therapies.” Cell & Gene Therapy coverage on Pharmaceutical Technology is supported by Cytiva.

Optimise your cell therapy process: a guide to cell thawing
Typically carried out at the point of care, errors in cell therapy thawing could compromise treatment efficacy, leading to significant patient impact as well as high costs and a compromised reputation for the product’s developer.
This guide addresses how cell thawing has historically developed into the new techniques used today, along with the physical and biological implications of key metrics and components such as warming rate and ice structure. Also included are reviews of key studies from scientific literature and a consideration of the interactions between cooling and warming rates, as applicable to cell and gene therapies.
