Avectas has exclusively licenced from ONK Therapeutics (ONK) a Chimeric Antigen Receptor-directed Natural Killer (CAR NK) cell therapy incorporating ONK’s proprietary Death Receptor (DR5) TRAIL variant for the treatment of B-cell malignancies. Under the collaboration, ONK will be responsible for rapidly progressing the potential therapy to a Phase I clinical trial. The potential therapy will be engineered using Avectas’ proprietary non-viral cell engineering platform (SOLUPORETM). Avectas will retain worldwide development and commercialization rights to the therapy. Read More
Avectas has entered into a collaborative agreement with The Simon Laboratory at UC Davis, California, USA (UCD) to engage in the characterisation of cells engineered with Avectas’ proprietary, non-viral SOLUPORE™ cell engineering platform. Under the collaboration, The Simon Laboratory at UCD will characterise cells engineered using SOLUPORE™, leveraging UCD’s unique cell membrane characterisation expertise and assays. Read More
Avectas and Vycellix, an immuno-discovery cell & gene therapy company have collaborated to advance next-generation solutions for the optimized manufacture of Cell & Gene Therapies. The companies will collaborate on the delivery of Vycellix’s novel RNA immunomodulator VY-M using Avectas’ cell engineering platform, SOLUPORETM. The collaboration will address current limitations for cell-based therapies, in particular with respect to the need to accelerate the manufacturing process, reduce the cost of manufacture, and ultimately improve patient outcomes.
