PIPELINE
We’re expanding what’s possible with cell therapy.
We are developing a wholly-owned pipeline of advanced cell therapies with the potential to redefine standards of care across a range of diseases where there is an urgent medical need. Explore our pipeline below for information on our clinical development candidates and ongoing clinical trials.

Omidubicel
High-risk Hematologic Malignancies

About Omidubicel
Omidubicel is an advanced cell therapy under development as a potential life-saving allogeneic hematopoietic stem cell (bone marrow) transplant solution for patients with hematologic malignancies (blood cancers). Omidubicel is the first bone marrow transplant product to receive Breakthrough Therapy Designation from the U.S. Food and Drug Administration and has also received Orphan Drug Designation in the U.S. and EU.
Development status
In May 2020, we reported topline results from an international, multi-center, randomized Phase 3 clinical study in 125 patients demonstrating that omidubicel was generally well tolerated and the median time to neutrophil engraftment was significantly shorter for patients who were randomized to omidubicel than those in the comparator group. In October 2020, we reported that the study met all three of its secondary endpoints related to platelet engraftment, infections, and hospitalizations, which are key measures in bone marrow transplant. Full safety and efficacy data are anticipated in the fourth quarter of 2020. We also expect to initiate the submission of a biologics license application (BLA) filing, on a rolling basis, in the fourth quarter.

About Omidubicel
Omidubicel is an advanced cell therapy under development as a potential life-saving allogeneic hematopoietic stem cell (bone marrow) transplant solution for patients with hematologic malignancies (blood cancers). Omidubicel is the first bone marrow transplant product to receive Breakthrough Therapy Designation from the U.S. Food and Drug Administration and has also received Orphan Drug Designation in the U.S. and EU.
Clinical Trial Information
Omidubicel is being evaluated in an ongoing investigator-sponsored Phase 1/2 study in patients with severe aplastic anemia.

GDA-201
Non-Hodgkin Lymphoma, Multiple Myeloma

About GDA-201
GDA-201 is an innate natural killer (NK) cell immunotherapy for the treatment of hematologic and solid tumors in combination with standard of care antibody therapies. When combined with targeted antibodies, GDA-201 has shown enhanced antibody-dependent cellular toxicity, or ADCC.
Clinical Trial Information
GDA-201 is being evaluated in a Phase 1 clinical study in patients with refractory non-Hodgkin lymphoma and multiple myeloma.

PLATFORM
Cell-based therapies are recognized for their tremendous potential to provide curative treatment options for patients with blood cancers and rare, serious blood disorders. However, efforts to create effective treatments to date have been hampered by the inability to expand cells in the laboratory while maintaining therapeutic functionality.
At Gamida Cell, we’re pioneering a new approach with the potential to improve treatment outcomes beyond what is possible with donor-derived therapies. Our proprietary platform allows us to expand multiple cell types — including stem cells and natural killer (NK) cells — while maintaining their original phenotype and potency. This approach enables us to administer a therapeutic dose of cells to patients.
