F1 Oncology Receives $10M Equity Investment

F1 Oncology, Inc., a West Palm Beach, Fla.-based biotechnology company discovering and developing adoptive cellular therapies (ACTs) for solid tumors, received a $10m equity investment.

Backers included current investors which provided the funding upon ethics committee approval of a novel precision medicine-directed trial sponsored by Shanghai Sinobioway Sunterra Biotechnology and its hospital collaborators for two novel chimeric antigen receptor T cell (CAR-T) products for the treatment of metastatic renal cell carcinoma (mRCC).
