Our next David Securities. comes Nierengarten Wedbush from with question

Your line is open.

David Nierengarten

I've a questions couple. my taking for Thanks

from persistence. in some you data difference AML settings is and without there on on I revealing cancer models the know point any you settings, first or estimated off persistence between know anything can animal those is its but maybe So if the you any -- ovarian any there cells could -- to between and maybe persistence opportunity clues hard differences

Chris Storgard

intrinsically So these the difference in tumors we any persistence expect two between settings. shouldn't

to in administered different, However point it's AML NK the setting the out I'd is intraperitoneal. it's like administration intravenously, that of the being setting being in the cells ovarian administered

So in the when may of result in populations two circulating these different which be NK see probably a we we difference actually a may the administration. cells of measure routes

David Nierengarten

that where with previously AML recall intraperitoneal or And if the in route looked in with at -- could NK they remind they was us other cancer delivery constructs? tumors tested you we maybe in were looked past cells solid ovarian are are it the

Scott Wolchko

respect fairly have days. response as will little the treatment the in of with respect patient cell has settling. NK in much with test therapy AML NK With obviously and recent with first been been at response and there to in this mentioned great XX% information cell to respect of There to will really ovarian has very ovarian been rich anecdotal rates associated is least correlated actually preferably Chris were Sure. cancer respect has in NK there complete there Typically history seven ovarian true to with each cell With like and this experience persistence of reported.

FT-XXX.

David Nierengarten

for Yes. just you then do cells reactivate they in.

Scott Wolchko

Absolutely.

we're for at but that study in it with that process shelf human in first and be the the FT-XXX is combination and given study is we will given we the doses, with having given multiple are again it of is a study can discussions in in that yes thousands monoclonal of So we're what we that fact the concept an doses FDA will looking deliver derived off IPS can give in create therapy, anti-body. planning

David Nierengarten

necessary would haven't in any you're but I FDA combinations you or of us finalized guess the dose how take you or escalate I if well dose with that? things kind that? will discussion And it way for like

Scott Wolchko

combination with FDA we've yet conversations very administering We we've IND where FT-XXX and comfortable based pre-IND but in the multiple a with not the seemed discussed doses. meeting that us on to dosing FDA with filed had respect has to-date obviously the
