The preclinical research program will examine the applicability of RXi's sd-rxRNA technology to be integrated into Medigene's process to produce receptor-modified T cells.
Results Could Create Powerful Cell Therapies Against Serious Cancers
Commenting on the collaboration, Dr. Geert Cauwenbergh, President and CEO of RXi Pharma, stated that Medigene's adoptive cell therapy, using their TCR platform, is a very attractive and promising development in immuno-oncology. Dr. Geert added that the use of RXi's immuno-oncology sd-rxRNA compounds with Medigene's receptor-modified T cells could potentially create a next generation of very powerful adoptive cell therapies against serious cancers that currently are difficult to target.
RXi's Important Collaboration Agreements of 2017
On December 01, 2017, RXi and the Center for Cancer Immune Therapy at Herlev Hospital, entered into a collaborative research agreement to evaluate the potential of RXi's novel self-delivering RNAi (sd-rxRNA®) technology platform in TILs for the use in treatment for a number of cancer types, including melanoma and ovarian cancer.
RXi and Gustave Roussy, a leading Comprehensive Cancer Centre in Europe, signed a collaborative research agreement to evaluate the potential of RXi's sd-rxRNA technology platform for use in cancer treatments. The agreement was announced on November 2017.
On May 22, 2017, PCI Biotech, a cancer focused biopharmaceutical company, and RXi announced that the extension of their preclinical research collaboration initiated in 2015. The preclinical research collaboration evaluated technology compatibility and synergy based on in vivo studies.
Medigene's TCRs Technology
The TCR technology aims at arming the patient's own T cells with tumor-specific T-cell receptors. The receptor-modified T cells are then able to detect and efficiently kill tumor cells. This immunotherapy approach attempts to overcome the patient's tolerance towards cancer cells and tumor-induced immunosuppression by activating and modifying the patient's T cells outside the body. TCR therapy is developed to utilize a higher number of potential tumor antigens than other T cell-based immunotherapies.
Medigene's TCR pipeline is being built to contain a collection of TCRs that recognize different antigens which are expressed by various types of tumor. The Company's proprietary TCR platform technology for the identification and selection of natural TCRs is protected by exclusively in-licensed patents in Europe, the US, and Japan.
