Marker Therapeutics (MRKR) Stock Price, News & Analysis

Company Overview

Marker Therapeutics, Inc. is a clinical-stage biopharmaceutical company focused on the development of personalized T-cell immunotherapies for cancer. The company’s proprietary Maestro™ platform is designed to isolate, expand and activate a patient’s own T-cells against multiple tumor-associated antigens simultaneously. By leveraging next-generation sequencing and advanced cell processing techniques, Marker aims to overcome tumor immune evasion and deliver targeted immune responses in solid tumors and hematologic malignancies.

Marker’s lead programs include autologous T-cell therapies engineered to recognize viral-associated and self-antigens that are overexpressed in certain cancers. The company has initiated early-phase clinical studies in patients with HPV16-positive head and neck cancers, as well as exploratory trials in other solid tumor indications. Marker conducts its research and development activities at its headquarters in Houston, Texas, and collaborates with academic and clinical partners across the United States to support trial enrollment and translational research efforts.

Founded in 2019 through a corporate reorganization and public listing, Marker Therapeutics transitioned its focus from earlier-stage RNA-based programs to cell-based immunotherapies. The company is guided by a management team experienced in cell therapy development, process scale-up and regulatory strategy. With an emphasis on personalized medicine, Marker is advancing its pipeline toward later-stage studies and exploring combination approaches alongside established oncology agents.
