March 11 2024 - 2:00AM
Gdańsk, Poland – 11 March 2024 – PolTREG S.A.
(Warsaw Stock Exchange: PTG) , a clinical-stage biotechnology
company developing cellular therapies for a range of autoimmune
diseases, today announces it has received CGMP certification from
Poland’s Chief Pharmaceutical Inspectorate, allowing it to produce
cellular therapies (Advanced Therapy Medicinal Products – ATMP) in
its own site. The certification also enables it to seek permission
from Poland’s Office for Registration of Medicinal Products,
Medical Devices and Biocidal Products (URPL) to perform clinical
trials in the facility, for diseases such as Type-1 Diabetes (T1D)
and Multiple Sclerosis (MS).
PolTREG was the first company in the world to administer T-reg
therapies to patients, and the first to start receiving revenues
from its lead product under a hospital exemption valid in Poland.
Its manufacturing facility is one of Europe’s largest and most
advanced, boasting over 2,100 sqm of laboratory space, including 15
production lines. PolTREG has the option to substantially expand
the facility to accommodate manufacturing of next-generation
engineered therapies and cell therapies from future partners. The
company now has more than 17 years of experience treating patients,
having administered Treg cells to more than 100 people over that
period, either in hospital exemption procedures or in clinical
trials.
“This certification is an important recognition of PolTREG’s
leading capabilities in manufacturing cellular therapies, a highly
sophisticated process that requires deep experience to master,”
said Prof. Piotr Trzonkowski, Chief Executive Officer of PolTREG.
“From our brand-new facilities, we can in the future ship these
live cells anywhere in Europe within 24 hours. This is a
significant potential expansion in treatment options for patients,
and an important consideration as our pipeline of Treg cell
therapies comes closer to market.”
PolTREG has developed one of the most advanced pipeline for Treg
therapies for autoimmune disease, with both polyclonal and
engineered cells. Its lead candidate, PTG-007, is in mid-stage
clinical studies for two indications in T1D and two in MS. For
CAR-Tregs, it expects to start a First-in-Human trial for two
neurodegenerative diseases - MS and Amyotrophic Lateral Sclerosis
(ALS) – in early 2025. It is also in preclinical tests with two
further types of engineered cells.
About PolTREGPolTREG is a
global leader in developing autoimmune therapies based on
T-regulatory cells (Tregs). Its lead product, PTG-007, autologous
Treg treatment for early-onset Type-1 Diabetes (T1D) is ready for
Phase 2/3 clinical testing, for which the company is seeking a
partnership. The company will launch Phase 2 trials for PTG-007 to
treat Multiple Sclerosis (MS) in the second half of 2024, for RRMS
and PPMS. PolTREG also has engineered Tregs, including CAR-Tregs,
antigen-specific Tregs and TCR-Tregs, in the preclinical stage.
PolTREG has completed four clinical trials with more than 100
patients treated with Tregs.
