Fate Therapeutics builds iPSC-derived off-the-shelf CAR-T and CAR-NK cells (FT819, FT522) for cancer and autoimmune disease.
Fate Therapeutics, based in San Diego and listed as FATE, builds off-the-shelf CAR-T and CAR-NK cells derived from induced pluripotent stem cells, including FT819 and FT522, for cancer and autoimmune disease. FT819 is a clonal iPSC-derived CD19 CAR-T, FT522 is a CD19 CAR-NK with alloimmune defence receptors designed to avoid conditioning chemotherapy, the company presented at ASCO and EULAR 2026, and it has a solid-tumour collaboration with Ono. OnCo links it to diffuse large B-cell lymphoma, to allogeneic cell therapy, CAR-NK and CAR-T, to CD19 as a target and to ideas on qualifying one iPSC master cell bank for many products. Manufacturing cost and time for living medicines is the bottleneck iPSC-derived cells are meant to relieve. Whether iPSC-derived cells persist and perform as well as patient-derived ones is the open question.
