Nkarta Inc

NASDAQ:NKTXUnited States

Nkarta, Inc. is a clinical-stage biopharmaceutical company advancing the development of allogeneic, off-the-shelf engineered natural killer (NK) cell therapies for the treatment of patients with autoimmune diseases or hematologic malignancies. It is developing NKX019, a chimeric antigen receptor-natural killer (CAR NK) product candidate targeting the CD19 antigen and NKX101, a CAR NK product candidate targeting cells that display NKG2D ligands. Both product candidates enable an on-demand, off-the-shelf approach involving scaled manufacturing to broaden patient access. Its NKX019 autoimmune program is based on the potential to eliminate the pathologic B cells that produce autoantibodies. Its NKX019 oncology program is based on the potential to treat a variety of B-cell malignancies by targeting the CD19 antigen that is reliably expressed on these types of cancerous cells. Its NKX101 program is designed to enhance the power of innate NK cell biology to detect and kill cancerous cells.
