    Cellestia is proud to announce its selection for a CHF 2 million grant from the Swiss Innovation Agency, Innosuisse, as part of their Start-up Innovation project to advance to clinical Proof of Concept a first-in-class therapy for prevention of Graft vs Host Disease (GvHD)

    The project aims at developing CB-103 as first-in-class drug to prevent GvHD in allogeneic-Hematopoetic Stem Cell Transplant (HSCT) patients. With this novel approach, Cellestia envisions a transformative shift in the management of GvHD from treatment to prevention.

    “We extend our sincere thanks to Innosuisse for recognizing the potential of CB-103 in enhancing the lives of patients grappling with GvHD” said Raj Lehal, CEO of Cellestia.

    About GVHD
    GvHD stands as the leading non-relapse-related cause of mortality in individuals undergoing allo-HSCT, impacting over 50% of the patients. The standard of care for prevention of GvHD is insufficient to prevent its occurrence, contributing to the persistent high mortality rates in this patient population.
