TSBX vs APLM Comparison

Turnstone Biologics Corp is a clinical-stage biotechnology company focused on developing new medicines to treat and cure patients with solid tumors. The company is pioneering a differentiated approach to tumor-infiltrating lymphocytes, or TILs, a clinically validated technology for treating solid tumors. It is developing next-generation TIL therapies by selecting the most potent and tumor-reactive T cells, which are referred to as Selected TILs. TILs are a type of cell therapy that harnesses the patient's own immune cells to target their own tumors. TIL therapy involves the isolation of lymphocytes from the patient's tumor, expansion of the isolated cells outside the body, and then infusion of the cells back into the patient.

Apollomics Inc is an clinical-stage biopharmaceutical company focused on the discovery and development of oncology therapies with the potential to be combined with other treatment options to harness the immune system and target specific molecular pathways to inhibit cancer. The company programs include vebreltinib (APL-101), a potent, selective c-Met inhibitor for the treatment of non-small cell lung cancer and other tumors with c-Met alterations, and uproleselan (APL-106), a specific E-Selectin antagonist that has the potential to be used adjunctively with standard chemotherapy to treat acute myeloid leukemia.
