The resulting dendritic cell vaccine is matured with a proprietary combination of Toll-like receptor adjuvants to enhance the immune-activating potency of the therapy. In 2022, the FDA granted Orphan Drug designation to TRL-AD1 for the treatment of brain cancers. The technology is currently at the pre-IND stage of research and development.
