Candel Therapeutics, Inc. (Nasdaq: CADL) is a clinical-stage biopharmaceutical company headquartered in Needham, Massachusetts, developing off-the-shelf multimodal viral immunotherapies for solid tumors. Founded as Advantagene, the company advances two engineered viral platforms: aglatimagene besadenovec (CAN-2409), a replication-defective adenovirus delivered intratumorally alongside a prodrug to trigger immunogenic cell death, and linoserpaturev (CAN-3110), a replication-competent oncolytic herpes simplex virus. Its clinical programs span prostate cancer, non-small cell lung cancer, pancreatic cancer and recurrent high-grade glioma. Candel is a therapeutics developer, not a software vendor: it operates no developer program, publishes no public API, SDK or machine-readable specification, and its only credentialed surface is a clinical-trial investigator portal.
