Cell Medica starts commercial cell therapy manufacture in Germany
UK-based cellular immunotherapy company Cell Medica has announced the start of commercial cell therapy manufacturing at its facility at the Max-Delbrück-Center of Molecular Medicine in Berlin-Buch, Germany.
The portfolio company of Imperial Innovations Group (AIM: IVO) said that the first product has been successfully manufactured and delivered for use. Manufacturing at this site will initially be focused on Cytovir CMV for the treatment of patients with cytomegalovirus (CMV) infections following a hematopoietic stem cell (bone marrow) transplant.
Cytovir CMV is an individualized immune cell therapy that is comprised of naturally-occurring donor cytotoxic T cells which are transferred from a donor into an immunosuppressed patient, in order to reconstitute their immunity to Cytomegalovirus (CMV). The product is currently available to treat patients in the UK, Ireland and Germany.
