LATEST NEWS

GT Biopharma Announces Potential New Indication for GTB-5550, a B7-H3-Targeted Natural Killer (NK) Cell Engager, for Multiple Myeloma


5 Reasons Investors Are Watching GT Biopharma, Inc.

TriKE NK Cell Engager Platform – GT Biopharma's TriKE drugs are single-chain fusion proteins that bind CD16 on natural killer cells, deliver an IL-15 signal that drives NK cell proliferation and survival, and bind a target on tumor cells. The company believes this off-the-shelf approach requires no patient-specific customization, unlike CAR-T.

Two Candidates in Phase 1 Trials – GTB-3650 targets CD33 in relapsed or refractory AML and high-risk MDS, with Cohort 5 enrolling as of August 14, 2026. GTB-5550 targets B7-H3 in solid tumors, mainly prostate cancer, uses subcutaneous dosing, and dosed its first patient in May 2026.

New IND Clearance in Multiple Myeloma – On September 15, 2026, GT Biopharma announced FDA clearance of an IND for GTB-5550 in 4th line and later multiple myeloma under an investigator sponsored trial. The trial start depends on receiving non-dilutive grant funding.

Near-Term Clinical Catalysts – The company expects a GTB-5550 solid tumor Phase 1 update in Q4 2026 and a GTB-3650 Phase 1 update in the second half of 2026. It also expects multiple AI-assisted candidates to enter pre-IND development in 2027.

Recent Financing and Nasdaq Compliance – GT Biopharma signed a Series M convertible preferred stock private placement in September 2026, upsized to a $7.75 million purchase price, and reports unaudited pro forma cash of about $11 million as of September 15, 2026, which the company says funds operations into Q3 2027. On September 22, 2026, Nasdaq notified the company that it had regained compliance with the minimum bid price rule.

TriKE NK Cell Engager Platform


  • GT Biopharma’s TriKE drugs are designed to direct a patient’s own natural killer (NK) cells to kill cancer cells by forming an immune synapse between the NK cell and the tumor cell.


  • Each TriKE is a single-chain fusion protein with three parts: a CD16 binding arm for NK cells, an IL-15 segment that drives NK cell proliferation and survival, and a tumor targeting arm.


  • The first generation candidate, GTB-3550, completed Phase 1, and an interim result from that small study showed CD33 positive bone marrow blast reductions ranging from 33.3% to 63.6% in four patients.


  • The platform can be engineered to target many tumor antigens, with current clinical programs including:
  • GTB-3650 → CD33, relapsed or refractory AML and high-risk MDS
  • GTB-5550 → B7-H3, solid tumors and multiple myeloma


  • Second generation TriKEs use a camelid nanobody, and the company states they are 10 to 40 times more potent than first generation TriKEs.


Operational Momentum and Scaling


  • GT Biopharma runs as a virtual, licensing-based drug developer with one full-time employee, relying on consultants, the University of Minnesota, and contract manufacturers including Cytovance Biologics.


  • GTB-3650 completed Cohort 4 and was enrolling Cohort 5 as of August 14, 2026, in a dose escalation study of up to 7 cohorts and 14 patients.


  • GTB-5550 completed Cohort 1 and was enrolling Cohort 2 in its solid tumor Phase 1 trial as of August 14, 2026, with an update expected in Q4 2026.



Positioning for Long-Term Growth


  • The company expects multiple AI-assisted candidates to enter pre-IND development in 2027, possibly beyond oncology.


  • GTB-7550, a preclinical CD19 TriKE, targets B-cell malignancies and autoimmune disease, including lupus.


  • The company says its candidates can be advanced on its own or through potential collaborations with partner companies, although no partnership deal has been announced.
