Triumvira Immunologics has raised $100.0M in total across 2 funding rounds.
Triumvira Immunologics develops engineered T cell therapeutics, leveraging its proprietary T cell Antigen Coupler (TAC) technology. This platform utilizes a unique multi-domain chimeric molecule integrating with the natural T cell receptor (TCR) pathway, enabling specific targeting and elimination of cancer cells. A key TAC feature is an intracellular co-receptor domain, preserving the T cell's inherent regulatory mechanisms via a non-gene edited approach, distinguishing it from other immunotherapies.
Co-founded in 2015 by Jonathan Bramson, PhD, at McMaster University, Triumvira arose from the insight that harnessing a T cell’s native biology could deliver safer, more effective cancer treatments. Dr. Bramson, a scientific co-founder, guided technology mirroring the body’s natural immune response, addressing limitations in existing immunotherapies.
Triumvira’s therapies target patients with difficult solid and liquid tumors; its lead candidate, TAC101-CLDN18.2, specifically addresses Claudin 18.2-positive solid malignancies. Triumvira envisions TAC as a pivotal oncology tool, offering potentially curative options by activating and regulating the body’s T cells, ultimately improving patient outcomes.

Triumvira Immunologics is a clinical-stage immuno-oncology company developing non-gene edited T cell therapies using its proprietary T cell Antigen Coupler (TAC) platform to treat solid tumors and certain liquid tumors.[1][2][3] The company builds autologous and allogeneic TAC-T cell therapeutics that co-opt natural T cell receptor signaling for precise tumor targeting with reduced toxicity, serving patients with cancers expressing antigens like Claudin 18.2, HER2, GUCY2C, and GPC3, such as gastric, gastroesophageal, colorectal, and HER2-positive solid tumors.[1][2][9] These therapies address key limitations of conventional CAR-T and engineered TCR therapies by enabling safer, re-dosable treatments with strong clinical signals, including a 70% disease control rate and 20% objective response rate in Claudin 18.2 trials.[2] With operations in San Diego, Austin, and Hamilton, Triumvira shows growth momentum through ongoing Phase I/II trials and data presentations at major symposia like ASCO 2025.[2][4]
Triumvira Immunologics emerged from expertise in T cell biology and cell therapy, though specific founding year and founders are not detailed in available sources; the company is anchored by a management team with deep experience in oncology drug development, manufacturing, and a strong IP portfolio.[1] The core idea stemmed from advancing T cell therapies beyond gene-edited approaches, leveraging the TAC platform to harness natural TCR signaling for better tumor recognition and killing in cancers where T cells fail.[3][8] Early traction includes preclinical success across multiple models and progression to clinical stages, with pivotal moments like updated Phase I/II data at the 2025 ASCO Gastrointestinal Cancers Symposium showing efficacy in heavily pretreated patients.[2][9]
Triumvira rides the solid tumor cell therapy wave, where CAR-T successes in blood cancers have spurred innovation for harder-to-treat solid tumors amid challenges like poor trafficking and immunosuppression.[3][4][8] Timing aligns with validated targets like Claudin 18.2—lacking approved therapies despite trial evidence of superior outcomes—and HER2, the top solid tumor CAR target with multiple competitors in clinic.[2][4][9] Market forces favoring precision immuno-oncology, including bispecifics and ADCs, boost TAC's edge in re-dosability and natural signaling, positioning Triumvira to influence the ecosystem by pioneering safer T cell platforms for broad cancer applicability.[1][2]
Triumvira is poised for pipeline expansion with multiple TAC candidates advancing, potentially yielding approvals for Claudin 18.2 and HER2 therapies in gastric and solid tumors where chemo falls short.[2][9] Trends like allogeneic scalability, combination regimens, and AI-optimized manufacturing will shape its path, amplifying influence as solid tumor cell therapy matures beyond CAR-T limitations.[3][4] Watch for more data readouts and partnerships to solidify its first-in-class status, transforming outcomes in high-need cancers.
Triumvira Immunologics has raised $100.0M across 2 funding rounds. Most recently, it raised $45.0M Series A in March 2022.
