IntegriCell Provides Process Development, Technology Transfer, and Clinical Cryopreservation Services Supporting Verismo's Novel Multi-chain KIR-CAR Programs for Lead Candidates SynKIR™-110 and SynKIR™-310 NASHVILLE, Tenn., June 25, 2026 /PRNewswire/ -- Cryoport, Inc. (NASDAQ: CYRX) ("Cryoport" or the "Company"), a leading global provider of integrated temperature-controlled supply chain solutions for the life sciences, today announced that Cryoport Systems' IntegriCell® cryopreservation services have been selected by Verismo Therapeutics , a clinical-stage CAR T cell therapy company pioneering a novel multi-chain KIR-CAR platform technology for the treatment of solid tumors (SynKIR™-110) and B cell associated disorders and malignancies (SynKIR™-310). Both candidates are in human clinical trials with initial Phase 1 data presented at the American Association for Cancer Research (AACR) 2026 Annual Meeting. IntegriCell cryopreservation services are designed to support cell and gene therapy programs throughout clinical development and into commercialization. By providing standardized manufacture-ready cryopreserved leukapheresis starting material within a globally standardized, GMP-compliant quality management system, IntegriCell enables developers to reduce variability, improve manufacturing efficiency and derisk their supply chains while delivering the scalable, reproducible solutions required to support global growth. "Advancing a cell therapy program requires a partner that can help developers refine and scale critical processes as their programs mature," said Dr. Mark Sawicki, CEO, Cryoport Systems. "By implementing Verismo's existing proprietary cryopreservation process within our global quality management system, we enabled them to preserve their existing regulatory work while gaining the consistency and reliability of our bioprocessing, cryopreservation and distribution infrastructure." "IntegriCell will support cryopreservation for Verismo's two lead clinical programs: SynKIR™-110, currently being evaluated in the STAR-101 Phase 1 trial in patients with advanced mesothelin-expressing solid tumors, and SynKIR™-310, currently being evaluated in the CELESTIAL-301 Phase 1 trial in patients with relapsed or refractory B-cell non-Hodgkin lymphomas," said Bryan Kim, CEO and Co-Founder of Verismo Therapeutics. "Cryopreservation is an important component of the manufacturing process, and having a partner with the expertise to work within our existing workflow is essential. The IntegriCell team implemented our process with precision and worked alongside us to identify opportunities to improve process control and long-term scalability. These improvements position us well as we continue progressing toward future clinical and regulatory milestones to support our novel KIR-CAR platform."
