The funding is intended to aid Entos in advancing a personalized immunotherapy strategy for treating cancer patients with advanced disease. This approach involves utilizing DNA vaccines tailored to target mutations present within the patients' own tumors.
Under the terms of the research and collaboration agreement, Lilly and Entos have agreed to multiple programs focused on the development of proteo-lipid vehicles (PLV) for delivery of therapeutic cargo supplied by Lilly to targets in the central and peripheral nervous systems.
Under the terms of the agreement, Entos will use its Fusogenix nucleic acid delivery system to specially formulate BioMarin products directed at multiple undisclosed genetic disease indications.
Lead Product(s):
Fusogenix-formulated Gene Therapy
Entos developed a Fusogenix DNA vaccine called Covigenix, that in preclinical studies, induces a strong neutralizing antibody response plus a potent and balanced T cell response against SARS-CoV-2, the virus that causes COVID-19.
Company announced the selection of two lead candidates for a pan-coronavirus Fusogenix DNA vaccine (Covigenix) from its prototyping program launched at the onset of the global COVID-19 pandemic.
Cytiva’s Fast Trak process development team will use their expertise to develop a scalable downstream protein purification method that will enable GMP-production of the Fusogenix protein component that facilitates intracellular DNA delivery.
This partnership will combine the Entos Fusogenix DNA delivery technology with optimized COVID-19 epitopes from EpiVax to generate a highly effective immune response against the novel coronavirus.
