Shares of Cartesian Therapeutics rose in premarket trading Tuesday after the company struck a deal to use WestGene Biopharma's lipid-nanoparticle delivery technology for its therapies for autoimmune diseases, starting with myasthenia gravis.

Shares traded 25% higher ahead of the morning bell at $7.35.

The late-clinical-stage company on Tuesday said it entered into a strategic licensing agreement with WestGene to advance the development of novel in vivo chimeric antigen receptor T-cell therapies, also known as CAR-T, in autoimmune diseases.

The partnership pairs Cartesian's mRNA CAR-T payloads with WestGene's delivery system to enable in-vivo CAR-T generation. The company said there is a planned Phase 1 trial for the treatment of myasthenia gravis, a chronic autoimmune disorder, slated for the second half of this year.

The company also said the partnership provides a framework to move additional programs into human testing more efficiently.

Under the terms of the agreement, WestGene will receive an unspecified upfront payment and is also eligible for development and commercial milestone payments.
