CAMBRIDGE, Mass.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Magenta Therapeutics, a biotechnology company developing therapeutics to improve and expand the use of curative bone marrow transplant for more patients, today announced that the Company will present clinical data from its stem cell expansion program and insights into its preclinical research at the 59th annual meeting of the American Society of Hematology (ASH), taking place December 9th through 12th in Atlanta, Ga.
“Magenta Therapeutics is developing new, transformative drugs to extend the curative potential of bone marrow transplant and cell therapies to more patients. We are excited to present data at ASH this year that highlight our stem cell expansion and mobilization programs, as well as a subset of our antibody-based bone marrow transplant conditioning programs,” said Michael Cooke, Ph.D., chief scientific officer, Magenta Therapeutics. “We are also looking forward to the presentation of clinical data from our most advanced program in stem cell expansion, MGTA-456, which has previously delivered promising results in a Phase 2 study.”
