Eureka Therapeutics, Inc., an Emeryville, Calif.-based clinical stage biotechnology company developing novel T cell therapies for solid tumors, closed a $45m Series E financing.
The round was led by Lyell Immunopharma and joined by a syndicate of new and prior investors. In addition to the financing, Eureka and Lyell have entered into a strategic collaboration to develop therapies against several undisclosed solid tumor targets expressed across multiple cancer types.
The company will use the funds to advance its proprietary TCR-mimic and antibody-TCR ARTEMIS® programs, including Eureka’s anti-AFP ARTEMIS® Phase I/II clinical trial in the United States for the treatment of hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC), the predominant type of liver cancer.
