Company Overview

Candel Therapeutics, Inc. is a clinical-stage biotechnology company developing multimodal biological immunotherapies designed to stimulate the immune system to recognize and attack cancer. The company focuses on engineered viruses administered directly into tumors, with the goal of creating a localized immune response that may also affect cancer cells elsewhere in the body.

Candel’s pipeline includes CAN-2409, an investigational, replication-defective adenovirus-based immunotherapy being studied in cancers including localized prostate cancer and non-small cell lung cancer. The company is also developing CAN-3110, an investigational oncolytic herpes simplex virus intended for the treatment of recurrent glioblastoma. These programs are supported by Candel’s enLIGHTEN discovery platform, which is designed to generate and evaluate novel viral immunotherapies.

Founded in 2015 and headquartered in Needham, Massachusetts, Candel conducts its research and clinical development activities primarily in the United States. The company’s products remain investigational and are not approved for commercial use. Candel is led by President and Chief Executive Officer Paul Peter Tak, M.D., Ph.D.
