Hemogenyx Pharmaceuticals plc announced the commencement of a strategic manufacturing partnership with WuXi ATU, a global contract testing development and manufacturing organisation ("CTDMO"). HEMO-CAR-T cells are made using the Company's proprietary humanised monoclonal antibody against a target on the surface of AML cells. This cutting-edge application of cell-based immune therapy offers a potentially more benign and effective form of therapy that, if successful, could have a major impact on treatment and survival rates for AML. HEMO-CAR-T is planned to be the Company's first therapeutic candidate to enter clinical trials. Hemogenyx Pharmaceuticals will leverage WuXi ATU's Good Manufacturing Process ("GMP") plasmid production and lentiviral vector manufacturing and testing platforms to accelerate the development of HEMO-CAR-T and provide clinical materials to support regulatory filing and preparation for clinical trials.
