[{"type":"text","content":"HOUSTON, July 17, 2019 /PRNewswire/ -- Marker Therapeutics, Inc. (NASDAQ:MRKR), a clinical-stage immuno-oncology company specializing in the development of next-generation T cell-based immunotherapies for the treatment of hematological malignancies and solid tumor indications, today announced it will host a conference call and webcast with a question-and-answer session on Monday, July 22, 2019 at 5:30 a.m. PDT/ 8:30 a.m. EDT to review data from an investigator-sponsored Phase 1/2 clinical trial with its MultiTAA therapy in patients with pancreatic adenocarcinoma. The data will also be reviewed in plenary and poster sessions on Saturday, July 20 at a cell therapy conference hosted by the American Association for Cancer Research (AACR) in San Francisco by Brandon G.

The archived webcast will be available for replay on the Marker website following the event.\nAbout Marker Therapeutics, Inc.Marker Therapeutics, Inc. is a clinical-stage immuno-oncology company specializing in the development of next-generation T cell-based immunotherapies for the treatment of hematological malignancies and solid tumor indications. Marker's cell therapy technology is based on the selective expansion of non-engineered, tumor-specific T cells that recognize tumor associated antigens (i.e. tumor targets) and kill tumor cells expressing those targets. This population of T cells is designed to attack multiple tumor targets following infusion into patients and to activate the patient's immune system to produce broad spectrum anti-tumor activity. Because Marker does not genetically engineer its T cells therapies, we believe that our product candidates will be easier and less expensive to manufacture, with reduced toxicities, compared to current engineered CAR-T and TCR-based approaches, and may provide patients with meaningful clinical benefit. As a result, Marker believes its portfolio of T cell therapies has a compelling product profile, as compared to current gene-modified CAR-T and TCR-based therapies.\nMarker is also advancing a number of innovative peptide- and gene-based immuno-the...
