SEOUL, South Korea, April 22, 2026 /PRNewswire/ — ViGenCell Inc. (KOSDAQ: 308080), a clinical-stage biotechnology company based in South Korea focused on advanced cell therapies, today announced that results from its Phase 2 clinical study of VT-EBV-N have been selected for an oral presentation at the ASCO Annual Meeting 2026.
The ASCO Annual Meeting, to be held from May 29 to June 2, 2026 in Chicago, Illinois, is one of the world’s largest and most influential oncology conferences, where cutting-edge clinical data are presented and discussed among oncology experts. Among the thousands of abstracts submitted each year, only a limited number are selected for oral presentation, representing a highly selective subset of accepted submissions.
The presentation will be delivered by Dr. Young-Woo Jeon of Yeouido St. Mary’s Hospital, who served as the principal investigator of the study.
VT-EBV-N is an Epstein-Barr virus (EBV)-specific T cell therapy being developed for the treatment of NK/T-cell lymphoma, a rare and aggressive malignancy with a high risk of relapse.
According to the company, the Phase 2 study demonstrated clinically meaningful outcomes, supporting the potential of VT-EBV-N as a differentiated therapeutic option in this setting. Detailed results will be presented during the official session at ASCO 2026.
