MaxCyte is a cell engineering platform, which uses non viral mRNA for drug development in a wide range of diseases including
-Cancer
-Auto Immune Diseases
11 Commercial Licencing deals with over
-$800m in Milestone Payments
Some of the partners listed below exploring cell therapy are world leaders in the field.
Crispr partners also with CureVac (a mRNA company) which is backed by the BMGF, highlighting the area of work is becoming an increasing sought after therapeutic division
Now what gets me excited is their approach to Cancer, they have recently set up CARMA subsidiary
CARMA is the use of CAR T-Cells in Solid Tumour Cancers, CAR T-Cells have never been proven to work in solid tumours but MXCT are showing early positive indications
MaxCyte have set up a US Boutique to manage the financing and listing on a main US Exchange which is anticipated in 2021
(Post Phase 1 Data announcement for their study of MCY-M11 In Ovarian Cancer)
1 Specialist Life Science US Investor has already invested
Note
This Phase 1 Trial is to assess the safety profile of the drug at different concentrations before conducting a prolonged dose study at an optimal concentration
Stable disease has been achieved for 6 months in Reoccurring Ovarian Cancer after lines of Chemo
CARMA Platform
-This platform extracts an individuals own immune cells (T Cells)
-Genetically Modifies them to specifically target +kill cancer tumours
-Whilst doing this it also programmes the bodies immune system to self manufacture the genetically modified immune cells
This is the quickest CAR T Cell development globally.
With the ability to manufacture these genetically modified personalised cancer therapy within 1 day compared to 2-6 weeks for similar CAR T-Cell therapies
Ovarian Cancer is a highly unmet area within oncology with only a few approved drugs, the focus on trying to delay tumour progression is the initial primary objective meaning the scope for improvement is huge
MaxCyte announce the development of their EXCITING
-mRNA CAR-T Cell Therapy for Cancer
which will list on NASDAQ in Q1 2021 under their CARMA Subsidiary
The announcement entails the next stage of demonstrating efficacy as I will now go on to explain
With only 1 single 3 week cycle, stable disease was achieved for 6 months💥
With the addition of Cyclophosphamide
-an immune pre conditioner
it is likely less side effects will occur and with repeat lower dose cycles administered it is...
Highly likely stronger efficacy will be achieved. Showing Tumour regression and minimal side effects
CAR T Therapy is a very hot sector in oncology development right now, with this completely Novel Approach, MaxCyte is primed for a re rate over the following 12 months📈💥
"It's exciting to think that the work we do at MaxCyte to design products to meet the needs of our customers helps to bring us closer to 💥breakthrough therapies💥 for patients.
This article demonstrates how MaxCyte's technology can successfully Genetically Engineer Human Immune Cells to make them more powerful at recognising and killing Cancer Tumours💥
Something which Iovance and Fate Therapeutics are working on📈
This article demonstrating superior transfection efficiency using MaxCytes technology including superiority over the widely adopted CRISPR spCAS9 $CRSP
Important to note adoption of their innovative technology is gaining traction in one of the hottest sectors in the world right now (Cell and Gene Therapy)
As they report financial results are expected to be ahead of market expectations
MCY-M11 gets me extremely excited as the very first data which is being obtained is showing that with a single low dose it stops cancer progression for up to 6 months with most side effects being Mild (Grade 1/2)
This disease control is shown in virtually every patient
(IMO I believe millennials who looks after themself now will now live beyond 150 years old due to health care advancements over the following decades🤷🏼♂️)
I think the fact that MRx0518 is showing massive near term promise in cancer, yet 4D continue to focus on Parkinson's Disease shows me how excited and effective they believe MRx0029 may be for Parkinson's
(Market expected to reach $8.3bn by 2026)
One of the brilliant things which Exosomes do is they have the ability to pass through the Blood Brain Barrier delivering signals and regulation into the Brain
This is extremely difficult to do and most drug delivery mechanisms fail to do this
A staggering 42% achieved clinical benefit in a population that had exhausted all other methods of disease/cancer treatment
For a population which has been resistant to all other lines of therapies, this is hugely encouraging... if they can treat the most resistant...
#DDDD💊
...cancers in terminally ill patients, this bodes EXTREMELY well for earlier lines of therapy😬
Also, as the patient population has no other effective treatment this significantly increases the chances of early approval off the back of Phase 2 data
Potentially FDA...
