Carisma Therapeutics is pioneering the development of engineered macrophages to transform the treatment of cancer and other serious illnesses through the engagement of both the innate and adaptive immune responses. Carisma's proprietary chimeric antigen receptor (CAR)-macrophage cell therapy platform is designed to address key challenges involved in the treatment of solid tumors by actively trafficking to the tumor, selectively killing tumor cells through phagocytosis, "warming up" the tumor microenvironment, and triggering a durable response from other immune cells.

Carisma's first product in development is an autologous HER2-targeted CAR-macrophage expected to enter clinical studies in 2020. Additional CAR-macrophages targeting other solid tumor antigens are in early development.
