• Mink Therapeutics reported new clinical and translational data on its investigational allo-iNKT cell therapy agenT-797 at the American Thoracic Society International Conference 2026, with the case study also published in Clinical Immunology Communications.
• The sequential regimen pairing agenT-797 with ImmunityBio’s IL-15 superagonist N-803 was linked to pathogen suppression, signs of lung immune recovery, reduced inflammatory signaling, and activation of tissue repair pathways in a critically ill patient with disseminated Coccidioides infection, ARDS, and hospital-acquired Pseudomonas pneumonia.
• The patient later transitioned to comfort care due to recurrent cardiac decompensation, with investigators attributing the likely terminal mechanism to acute heart failure rather than cytokine release or infection.
• The update supports an ongoing randomized Phase 2 trial testing agenT-797 with standard of care versus placebo with standard of care in ICU patients with severe acute lung injury and acute hypoxemic respiratory failure due to severe pneumonia.
