Heinäkuu 2022: On July 12, 2022, GenScript ProBio (Brian Ho-sung Min, CEO), a global CDMO, and ACT Therapeutics (Seogkyoung-Kong, CEO), developing a next-generation chimeric antigen receptor (CAR)-T cell therapy platform targeting solid cancer, announced that they had entered into a strategic partnership MOU concerning the development of a new CAR-T cell therapies. The MOU was in regard to the development of new CAR-T cell therapies. Through the use of this memorandum of understanding (MOU), GenScript ProBio and ACT Therapeutics have come to an agreement to further their collaboration in the field of cell therapy.
ACT Therapeutics ja GenScript ProBio ovat allekirjoittamassa sopimusta plasmidi- ja virusvektorien kehittämisestä ja tuotannosta ACT Therapeuticsin Advanced CAR-T Platformin (ACT-alustan) ensimmäiselle putkilinjalle, joka myös tilataan tuottamaan raaka-aineita. ACT Therapeuticsin myöhemmille putkille. Sopimus kattaa plasmidien ja virusvektoreiden tuotannon ACT Therapeuticsin Advanced CAR-T Platformin ensimmäistä putkilinjaa varten.
Tämän sopimuksen seurauksena GenScript ProBio on nostettu globaaliksi kumppaniksi, joka pystyy tukemaan ACT-alustoja ACT-terapiassa.
ACT-alusta on seuraavan sukupolven solu- ja geeniterapiatekniikka, joka kohdistuu syöpäantigeeneihin lisäämällä geenejä, jotka on suunniteltu kohdistamaan kyseiset antigeenit immuunisoluihin. Nämä geenit toimitetaan immuunisoluihin käyttämällä virusvektoreita. GenScript ProBiolla on laadukas virusvektoriprosessikehitys ja yhden luukun palvelualusta GMP-tuotantoon, jotka molemmat ovat välttämättömiä solu- ja geeniterapian kehittämiselle.
ACT Therapeutics’ ACT platform is an advanced CAR-T technology that has a next-generation structure that goes beyond the second-generation CAR-T cell therapy and targets existing verisyöpä. This is accomplished by overcoming the immune suppression microenvironment of solid cancer and activating the immune cells that are surrounding the cancer. Several studies have also used animals to test the ACT platform to see how well it works and if it is safe. These studies have also confirmed that the platform can be used to treat solid cancer while staying in the immunosuppressive environment of that cancer. Additionally, it complements the shortcomings of the existing second-generation CAR-T, which makes it a competitive technology for the treatment of solid cancer.
ACT Therapeutics is a Korean bio venture company that has received initial investment through DAYLI Partners, Korea’s leading bio and healthcare venture capital, since its establishment in 2020, and has been recognized for its technology such as receiving pre-series A investment in Samho Green Investment. DAYLI Partners is Korea’s leading bio and healthcare venture capital since its establishment in 2020. At the moment, investment consultations are being held with various securities firms and venture capital companies in order to entice Series A investment.
Brian H. Min, CEO of GenScript ProBio, said, “We are very happy to cooperate with ACT therapeutics in strategic partnership, and we are looking forward to support ACT Therapeutics’ ACT platform as a global partner through our accumulated technology.”
Seogkyoung-Kong, ACT Therapeuticsin toimitusjohtaja, sanoi: "Olemme saaneet päätökseen valmistelut ACT-alustan nousemiseksi maailmanlaajuisesti strategisen kumppanuuden avulla GenScript ProBion kanssa. Nopeutamme tulenkestäviä ja vaikeasti hoidettavia kiinteitä syöpiä koskevien hoitojen kehittämistä."
