World's First FDA IND-Approved Umbilical Cord Blood-Derived Allogeneic CAR-T Product! 🎉   VectorBuilder’s partner, UCELLO, announced that its #CD19targeting #allogeneicCARTcelltherapy, #UC101, derived from #umbilicalcordblood, received #InvestigationalNewDrug (IND) approval from the #US Food and Drug Administration (FDA). VectorBuilder has played a key role in supporting this clinical program by providing comprehensive and customized #CDMOsolutions. #UC101 is the #firstumbilicalcordbloodderived #allogeneicCARTtherapy to receive #FDA #IND approval. T cells from umbilical cord blood offer distinct advantages, including #lowimmunogenicity and an #earlydifferentiationstate, which help mitigate the risk of #HvGR (host-versus-graft response) which enhances in-vivo proliferation and prolongs the persistence of allogeneic CAR-T cells, leading to improved #therapeuticefficacy. UC101 is also the first CAR-T therapy to employ a #stableproducercellline for #lentiviralvectormanufacturing, eliminating the need for #plasmidDNA in virus packaging. This innovation significantly lowers production costs while ensuring batch-to-batch consistency, stable quality attributes, and high vector potency.

Exciting news from #SouthAfrica!🎉 Afrigen Biologics (Pty) Ltd, a leading biotech company, has received a significant US$6.2 million grant from the CEPI (Coalition for Epidemic Preparedness Innovations) to develop the first-ever #mRNAbasedvaccine against #RiftValleyfever. This groundbreaking project, in collaboration with the International Vaccine Institute (IVI), marks a crucial step towards combating this potentially devastating disease. #RiftValleyfever, a mosquito-borne zoonotic disease, primarily affects livestock but can also cause severe illness in humans, including blindness, encephalitis, and even death. Rift Valley fever, like malaria, is a climate-sensitive disease and has spread beyond Africa, reaching the Middle East in 2000, highlighting the need for global vigilance. With climate change increasing the frequency and severity of outbreaks, the development of an effective human vaccine is urgently needed. Afrigen Biologics (Pty) Ltd, recognized by the World Health Organization as an #mRNAHub, will leverage its expertise in mRNA technology to advance the vaccine candidate through preclinical testing and into crucial Phase I clinical trials. This initiative aligns with CEPI's mission to accelerate the development of vaccines against emerging infectious diseases. It also exemplifies the growing importance of mRNA technology in global health, offering a rapid and adaptable platform for vaccine development against a range of infectious diseases.

Zydus Group, a leading global pharmaceutical company focused on discovery-based research, has announced that the US-FDA has granted #OrphanDrugDesignation (ODD) to #Usnoflast, an innovative #oralNLRP3inhibitor, for the treatment of #amyotrophiclateralsclerosis (ALS). The ODD for #Usnoflast offers several #developmentincentives, including #taxcredits for qualified clinical testing, #waivers for prescription drug user fees, and the possibility of a #sevenyearmarketexclusivity period upon FDA approval. #ALS is a progressive #neurodegenerativedisorder with an average survival rate of two to five years post-diagnosis, with most patients succumbing to respiratory failure. #Neuroinflammation and #rapidneurodegeneration are hallmarks of ALS, with #axonalneurodegeneration causing the formation of #neurofilaments. These neurofilaments first accumulate in the cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) and gradually enter the bloodstream. As the disease progresses, patients experience a steady decline in mobility, speech, and the ability to eat or breathe, ultimately leading to paralysis and death. #Usnoflast (ZYIL1) is a novel, orally administered small molecule that inhibits NLRP3. Preclinical studies have shown its potential in managing #neuroinflammation and other conditions such as #Parkinson’s disease, #inflammatoryboweldisease (IBD), and #multiplesclerosis (MS). The USFDA had previously granted ODD to Usnoflast for treating #CryopyrinAssociatedPeriodicSyndrome (CAPS), a rare autoinflammatory condition.

In a significant step forward for oncology in the #MiddleEast, Boston Oncology Arabia and SPIMACO have signed a Memorandum of Understanding (MoU) to localize the production of advanced #oraloncologytreatments in the #KingdomofSaudiArabia. This partnership, announced at the CPHI Middle East, aims to improve patient access to life-saving therapies, foster local expertise, and support #SaudiArabia's #Vision2030 healthcare goals. By transferring technology and knowledge, the collaboration will enable the commercialization of crucial #oraloncologymedications within the Kingdom. This not only enhances treatment accessibility but also strengthens Saudi Arabia's healthcare and industrial infrastructure. "This agreement marks a significant milestone towards ensuring that patients in Saudi Arabia and beyond have access to world-class oncology treatments without delay," said Dr. Abdullah Baaj, CEO of Boston Oncology Arabia. SPIMACO CEO Jérôme Cabannes added: "This partnership enhances our ability to provide high-quality oncology treatments and strengthens our commitment to the Kingdom's vision of a self-reliant healthcare system." This collaboration aligns perfectly with Saudi Arabia's Vision 2030 by reducing import dependency, strengthening local industry, and increasing access to innovative treatments for patients across the Kingdom.   Detailed News: https://lnkd.in/dYw_633r Follow our page for more industry updates: https://lnkd.in/de5zNWmK Know more about #RASLSSConsulting: https://lnkd.in/d_daJ5Xv #Oncology #CancerCare #SaudiArabia #Vision2030 #PharmaceuticalIndustry #Healthcare #LocalManufacturing #RASLSSConsulting #MarketIntelligence #MarketResearch #CompetitiveIntelligence #StrategySupport #PortfolioOptimization   

Exciting news for individuals with transfusion-dependent Beta Thalassemia! YolTech Therapeutics, a clinical-stage gene editing company focused on developing lifelong cures, has announced the launch of a clinical trial for #YOLT204, an investigational therapy aimed at treating #transfusiondependent #betathalassemia (TDT). #TDT is a severe inherited blood disorder caused by mutations in the beta-globin gene, leading to reduced or absent hemoglobin production. This condition necessitates #regularbloodtransfusions to manage #anemia and prevent associated complications. #YOLT204 represents a first-of-its-kind #invivogeneeditingtherapy that utilizes #YolTech's proprietary #lipidnanoparticles (LNP). This innovative therapy targets the regulatory region of hemoglobin to stimulate the production of #fetalhemoglobin, potentially #restoringhemoglobinbalance and #normalizingredbloodcellcounts in TDT patients. Preclinical studies demonstrated that YOLT-204 effectively and sustainably #increasedfetalhemoglobin levels, indicating significant therapeutic potential for TDT. Additionally, YOLT-204 could benefit patients with #sicklecelldisease (SCD), as elevated fetal hemoglobin levels in these individuals are linked to reduced sickle hemoglobin polymerization, fewer complications, and lower mortality rates. The clinical trial for YOLT-204 is a dose-escalation study to preliminarily examine the safety and efficacy of a single-dose regimen with YOLT-204 in TDT. If successful, YOLT-204 may eventually provide an off-the-shelf curative treatment for TDT patients without #conditioningchemotherapy and #HSCT (Hematopoietic Stem Cell Transplantation).
