Ethical Profile

Mixed.

Estrella Immunopharma, Inc. focuses on developing T-cell therapies for blood cancers, with lead product EB103 showing a favorable safety profile and tumor response in all patients during Phase I/II clinical trials for B-cell non-Hodgkin lymphoma. However, as a clinical-stage biopharmaceutical company, its activities inherently involve animal testing to assess therapy safety and efficacy before human trials, which critics point to as a conflict with animal welfare values. Regarding data security, the company relies on a third-party provider and lacks a dedicated cybersecurity officer or formal standalone IT risk assessment, though it has implemented measures like two-factor authentication and email protection, with no reported breaches in the past two years.
