Calidi Biotherapeutics presented two posters at ESMO 2026 showcasing new preclinical data from its RedTail virotherapy platform, including lead program CLD-401 and its In Situ T-cell engager candidates CLD-501 and CLD-502. CLD-401 induced complete tumor eradication in 80% of mice in an EMT6 breast cancer model versus 0% in controls, and retained antitumor activity via both intravenous and intratumoral delivery in a bladder cancer model. The In Situ TCE data showed approximately 10 ng/mL of EpCAM-targeted T-cell engager produced directly within tumors after IV delivery, addressing systemic-toxicity barriers of conventional TCEs.
