SOUTH SAN FRANCISCO, Calif., April 30, 2025 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- CERo Therapeutics Holdings, Inc., (Nasdaq: CERO) (“CERo” or the “Company”) an innovative immunotherapy company seeking to advance the next generation of engineered T cell therapeutics that employ phagocytic mechanisms, announces that TriStar Centennial Medical Center, through Sarah Cannon Research Institute (SCRI), in Nashville, Tennessee, is a clinical trial site for the Company’s Phase 1 clinical of CER-1236. Collaborating with SCRI to advance cancer research, TriStar Centennial offers innovative clinical research trials for various disease indications. The trial is focused on patients with acute myeloid leukemia (AML), and patient enrollment is underway, with expected dosing of the first patient during the first half of 2025.  Stephen Strickland, Jr., M.D., MSCI, Director of Leukemia Research for SCRI, an investigator on the trial, commented, “In preclinical studies, CER-1236 was demonstrated to have a multifunctional approach to killing cancer cells, without sacrificing healthy cells.  We believe that this novel mechanism of action may have significant impact on the way we treat cancer and are looking forward to participating in the clinical studies to investigate that possibility.” The first-in-human, multi-center, open label, Phase 1/1b study is designed to evaluate the safety and preliminary efficacy of CER-1236 in patients with acute myeloid leukemia that is either relapsed/refractory, has measurable residual disease, or has a mutation of the TP53 gene. The two-part study will begin with dose escalation to determine highest tolerated dose and recommended dose for Phase 2, followed by an expansion phase to evaluate safety and efficacy.  Primary outcome measures include incidence of adverse events (AEs) and serious adverse events (SAEs), incidence of dose limited toxicities and estimation of overall response rate (ORR), complete response (CR), composite complete response (cCR), and measurable residual disease (MRD).  Secondary outcome measures include pharmacokinetics (PK). Chris Ehrlich, CERo Therapeutics CEO added, “The rapid uptake of clinical trial site partners is a testament to both the scientific work performed to date with CER-1236 and the dedication and acumen of the teams at CERO and the research institutions where the trial will be conducted. It is well known that the assignment of clinical trial sites is a central milestone, and the prestige TriStar Centennial Medical Center, through SCRI, brings to the trial cannot be over-emphasized.  We look forward to announcing enrollment and initial dosing in the near term.” About CERo Therapeutics Holdings, Inc. CERo is an innovative immunotherapy company advancing the development of next generation engineered T cell therapeutics for the treatment of cancer. Its proprietary approach to T cell engineering, which enables it to integrate certain desirable characteristics of both innate and adaptive immunity into a single therapeutic construct, is designed to engage the body’s full immune repertoire to achieve optimized cancer therapy. This novel cellular immunotherapy platform is expected to redirect patient-derived T cells to eliminate tumors by building in engulfment pathways that employ phagocytic mechanisms to destroy cancer cells, creating what CERo refers to as Chimeric Engulfment Receptor T cells (“CER-T”). CERo believes the differentiated activity of CER-T cells will afford them greater therapeutic application than currently approved chimeric antigen receptor (“CAR-T”) cell therapy, as the use of CER-T may potentially span both hematological malignancies and solid tumors. CERo anticipates initiating clinical trials for its lead product candidate, CER-1236, in 2025 for hematological malignancies.
