Grenoble (France), January 17th, 2018
PX’Therapeutics, a CDMO (Contract Development and Manufacturing Organization) has signed an agreement with Advaxis, Inc., a US-based, clinical stage biotechnology company, to support it in the process development of cancer immunotherapies based on Advaxis’ proprietary, attenuated Listeria monocytogenes (Lm) platform.
PX’Therapeutics will support Advaxis in taking its drug discovery cycle to the next level, optimizing process development and further discovery of the impact of bacterial culture parameters on product quality. This will ultimately result in the development of a robust industrial production process.
“Partnering with PX’Therapeutics will help catapult our Lm-Technology production process and advance our mission to put our technologies in the hands of patients who desperately need them,” said Michael Grace, Vice President of Technical Operations at Advaxis.
Claire Untereiner, COO of PX’Therapeutics commented: “We are really excited about this new collaboration! PX’Therapeutics looks forward to bringing its expertise to the development of this important project.”
About Advaxis, Inc.
Advaxis, Inc. is a late-stage biotechnology company focused on the discovery, development and commercialization of proprietary Lm-based antigen delivery products. These immunotherapies are based on a platform technology that utilizes live attenuated Listeria monocytogenes (Lm) bioengineered to secrete antigen/adjuvant fusion proteins. These Lm-based strains are believed to be a significant advancement in immunotherapy as they integrate multiple functions into a single immunotherapy and are designed to access and direct antigen presenting cells to stimulate anti-tumor T-cell immunity, activate the immune system with the equivalent of multiple adjuvants, and simultaneously reduce tumor protection in the tumor microenvironment to enable the T-cells to eliminate tumors. Advaxis has four franchises in various stages of clinical and preclinical development: HPV-associated cancers, neoantigen therapy, hotspot mutation therapy and prostate cancer.
