History and foundation
Founded in 2014 in California, the company began operations focused on immunotherapy platforms for cancer treatment, establishing preclinical programs and initial trials to validate immune responses in oncology applications.
The early years were marked by challenges related to regulatory progress and the transition from laboratory research to clinical stages, as well as the formation of partnerships with research centers and the expansion of the therapeutic pipeline.
Expansion occurred through the development of new immunological platforms, broadening therapeutic indications, increasing production capacity, and internationalizing clinical studies. The evolution also included greater participation in treatments for solid tumors and infectious diseases.
Key historical milestones include the offer pública inicial (IPO) conducted in 2015 by NantKwest, followed by the merger between NantKwest and ImmunityBio in 2021, consolidating operations under the ImmunityBio name, along with the submission of immunologic therapies to regulatory agencies in subsequent years.
Between 2020 and 2024, the company recorded progress in clinical trials for bladder cancer, capital raises for manufacturing expansion, regulatory updates, strategic agreements, and developments that influenced market expectations regarding innovative immunotherapy advancements during the period.
