CRGX vs VTYX Comparison

Cargo Therapeutics Inc is a clinical-stage biotechnology company positioned to advance next generation, potentially curative cell therapies for cancer patients. It programs, platforms, and manufacturing are designed to directly address the limitations of approved chimeric antigen receptor (CAR) T-cell therapies. Its product includes CRG-023, an investigational tri-specific CAR T designed to address several known causes of relapse associated with existing CAR T-cell therapies such as loss of tumor antigen expression, loss of co-stimulation (e.g., via CD58/CD2 signaling) and T cell exhaustion. CRG-023 is designed to target the B-cell lineage antigens (CD19, CD20, CD22) via tri-cistronic expression of three distinct CARs from a single lentiviral vector.

Ventyx Biosciences Inc is a clinical-stage biopharmaceutical company focused on advancing new therapies for millions of patients living with inflammatory diseases and autoimmune disorders. The company is developing a pipeline of novel small-molecule product candidates to address a range of inflammatory diseases. Its product candidate VTX958 is an oral, selective clinical-stage tyrosine kinase type 2 (TYK2) inhibitor designed to inhibit TYK2 without detectable inhibition of other Janus kinase (JAK) isoforms, which avoids toxicities associated with broader JAK inhibition and, thus, other JAK inhibitors.
