For patients with blood cancers who’ve exhausted conventional treatments, there’s now a breakthrough made in India: #NexCAR19, our indigenous CAR T Cell Therapy. Built on the strength of science and compassion, NexCAR19 is helping rewrite stories of relapse into stories of recovery. This World Blood Cancer Day, let’s amplify what matters - access to innovation, hope for every patient, and the power of homegrown breakthroughs. Because behind every treatment, there’s a life waiting for a second chance. #WorldBloodCancerDay #NexCAR19 #ImmunoACT #CARTcellTherapy #BloodCancerAwareness #MadeInIndia #InnovationForIndia #HopeInHealthcare

𝗪𝗼𝗿𝗹𝗱 𝗕𝗹𝗼𝗼𝗱 𝗖𝗮𝗻𝗰𝗲𝗿 𝗗𝗮𝘆 𝗦𝗲𝗿𝗶𝗲𝘀 | 𝗗𝗮𝘆 𝟮 – 𝗟𝗲𝘁’𝘀 𝗧𝗮𝗹𝗸 𝗔𝗯𝗼𝘂𝘁 𝗟𝗲𝘂𝗸𝗲𝗺𝗶𝗮 Beyond the diagnosis is a childhood on pause, and a future worth fighting for. Yet, Acute Lymphoblastic Leukemia (ALL) accounts for 25% of all childhood cancers in India. Even after treatment, 15% of children relapse, often with limited options left. At ImmunoACT, we believe every child deserves a second chance. That’s why we developed NexCAR19 - India’s own CAR-T cell therapy. It uses a patient’s own T-cells to fight cancer, offering a 73% complete response rate, even in tough, relapsed cases. This therapy isn’t just effective - it’s personalized, proven for both kids and adults, and brings the promise of long-term remission, even after multiple relapses. This #WorldBloodCancerDay, let’s stand together for children and families fighting leukemia. Let’s raise awareness and support innovations that bring real hope - right here at home. #LeukemiaAwareness #ChildhoodCancer #NexCAR19 #CAR_TcellTherapy #ImmunoACT #WorldBloodCancerDay #HopeForHealing #MadeInIndia #HealthcareInnovation

In India, over 𝟯𝟵,𝟬𝟬𝟬 people are diagnosed with lymphoma each year - and 𝟮𝟮,𝟬𝟬𝟬 don’t make it. Many of them never knew the signs: constant fatigue, night sweats, or unexplained weight loss. These early symptoms are easy to miss, but the cost of delay can be life changing. At ImmunoACT, we believe that no one should lose a loved one to a treatable disease. That’s why we developed #NexCAR19 - India’s very own CAR-T cell therapy. With a 73% response rate, minimal side effects, and shorter hospital stays, NexCAR19 is not just a medical breakthrough - it’s a hopeful, accessible solution for those who need it most. Most importantly, it’s the world’s most affordable CAR-T therapy, built for our people, right here at home. This #WorldBloodCancerDay, let’s come together - to spread awareness, encourage early detection, and champion homegrown innovations that can change lives.

At #CARTSummit2025, the session titled “Bridging the Gap - Role of NGOs and CSR in Providing Intent-to-Cure Solutions for Cancer Care” brought together experts from healthcare and the development sector to address access challenges in cancer treatment. Moderated by Ms. Sunita Rao, the panel included Ms. Poyni Bhatt, Mr. Neerad Trivedi, Mr. Ravi Vantaram, Dr. Suja Nair, and Dr. Haresh Kumar Gupta. The discussion highlighted the funding limitations NGOs face, especially for advanced therapies like CAR-T, as CSR funds are often directed to hospitals. Panelists emphasized the critical role of NGOs in patient navigation and education, and the need for stronger collaboration between hospitals, NGOs, and CSR partners. A key challenge discussed was the demand for short-term impact metrics by CSR organizations - often at odds with the long-term nature of cancer care. The panel also noted that better data transparency, especially in childhood cancer outcomes, could help attract sustained CSR support. The session closed with a call for multi-year CSR commitments and strategic partnerships to make curative cancer therapies more accessible across India. #ImmunoACT #NexCAR19 #CARTSummit2025 #NGOCollaboration #MadeInIndiaScience #ConferenceHighlights
