UWELL Biopharma, Inc. is a biotech company founded in 2003 and based in New Taipei, Taiwan. The Taiwanese company specializes in developing new cancer drugs using chimeric antigen receptor T-cell (CAR-T) technology. CAR-T therapy involves engineering a patient's T-cells to recognize and attack cancer cells. UWELL is currently conducting an open, single-center phase I clinical trial to evaluate the safety and efficacy of its anti-CD19 CAR-T cell injection in patients with relapsed or refractory B-cell non-Hodgkin's lymphoma. The study has been approved by the Institutional Review Board of Tri-Service General Hospital and the Ministry of Health and Welfare. UWELL has achieved success in treating adult blood cancer patients with CAR-T therapy, as evidenced by the clearance of cancer cells in the first case treated at Tri-Service General Hospital.
