Tempest secures global rights for lentiviral CAR-T platform outside China
What happened
Tempest Therapeutics, Inc. obtained exclusive global rights outside China to a CD7-targeted lentiviral vector platform from Hebei Senlang Biotechnology Co., Ltd. The company is developing in vivo CAR-T therapies for cancer and autoimmune disease. The lead program, TPST-4903, is a BCMA/GPRC5D dual-targeting candidate being studied in relapsed or refractory multiple myeloma.

Why it matters
The exclusive license expands Tempest's R&D pipeline by complementing its existing lipid nanoparticle delivery platform. However, the agreement explicitly excludes China, which limits market access and potential revenue for the CD7 platform.
