The Company's lead therapeutic will be
available through a newly opened compassionate
use program
EDINBURGH, Scotland, May 15, 2024
/PRNewswire/ -- TC BioPharm (Holdings) PLC ("TC BioPharm" or the
"Company") (NASDAQ: TCBP) a clinical stage biotechnology
company developing platform allogeneic gamma-delta T cell therapies
for cancer and other indications, today announced that the
company's lead therapeutic TCB008 will be available to patients via
a newly launched compassionate use program in the UK.
Compassionate use refers to the prescription of unlicensed
medicinal products to treat a patient in instances where their
individual clinical needs cannot be met with the available licensed
treatments. Patients enrolling in these clinical trials must meet
specific entry criteria, both to protect vulnerable patient
populations and ensure the validity of study data. These data must
be reviewed and approved by regulatory agencies before products can
be marketed as licensed medicinal products for patient
treatment.
Access to TCB's cell therapy products through the compassionate
use program will provide medical practitioners with treatment
options for patients who are ineligible to access experimental
treatments through ongoing clinical trials.
"TCBP firmly believes in putting patients' needs first, not just
extending life but providing a higher quality of life for patients
who might otherwise have no other options for treatment. We are
immensely appreciative of the support and effort from our physician
investigators leading to expanded access to TCB008 to support the
treatment of patients with clinical needs that cannot currently be
met with licensed treatments," said Mr. Bryan Kobel, CEO of TC BioPharm. "In addition to
helping patients, this step will increase our data set and
knowledge around TCB-008 and inform a broader use case as a
therapeutic in the future. Initiating this program is yet another
leap forward for TCBP and another milestone achieved, and
concurrently to our ongoing Phase 2b
clinical trial, as we remain committed to advancing the
availability and potential of cell therapies."
