New poster to highlight preclinical data of CER-1236 in ovarian cancer

SOUTH SAN FRANSCISCO, Calif., March 05, 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 it will be presenting preclinical results of lead compound CER-1236 in ovarian cancer during the Spring Scientific from the Society for Immunotherapy of Cancer (SITC) in San Diego, March 12-14.

The poster, titled, “TIM-4-L Expression on Ovarian Cancer Samples can be Targeted by Engineered Chimeric Engulfment Receptor T cells without Toxicity,” will be presented March 13, 2025.  The Company will announce the data concurrently with the presentation at the conference by making the poster available on its website at 9:00AM ET on March 13, 2025.

Chris Ehrlich, CERo CEO commented, “As we progress toward launching our Phase 1 trial in AML, we continue to present additional data in ovarian cancer along with the substantial data we've already presented in Non-Small Cell Lung Cancer (NSCLC). We have significant data in multiple liquid and solid tumors for CER-1236 demonstrating tremendous potential across many cancer types. Moreover, we will not only be testing CER-1236 shortly in AML but anticipate doing so as well in ovarian cancer and non-small cell lung cancer in 2025. We are grateful for the opportunity to share these outcomes and discuss them with the scientific community, look forward to sharing the data concurrently with the meeting, and to providing progress updates on our AML program 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 2024 for hematological malignancies.
