Starna Therapeutics develops RNA medicines carried in fat particles designed to reach tissues outside the liver. Its STR-P004 aims to turn a patient's own immune cells into CAR-T cells inside the body, and is in an early study in B-cell non-Hodgkin lymphoma.
Starna Therapeutics (Suzhou) Co., Ltd. develops RNA-based medicines on a lipid nanoparticle platform for extrahepatic delivery, with tissue-specific and cell-selective nanoparticles. STR-P004 is an intravenously given in vivo CAR-T drug; the company describes it for autoimmune disease, and the early clinical study NCT07003178 at a single centre in Suzhou tests it in relapsed or refractory CD19-positive B-cell non-Hodgkin lymphoma. Its other disclosed programme is STR-V003, a respiratory syncytial virus vaccine. The company reported a Series B of more than 300 million yuan in October 2025, co-led by LYFE Capital, Hillhouse and Lilly Asia Ventures, and a Series B+ of nearly 40 million US dollars in May 2026. Its first registered cancer trial, NCT07003178, was posted on ClinicalTrials.gov in June 2025; its first registry study overall, posted in April 2024, was an RSV vaccine trial.
