SINGAPORE, Sept. 30, 2024 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- CytoMed Therapeutics Limited (NASDAQ:GDTC) ("CytoMed" or "Company"), a Singapore-based biopharmaceutical company focused on harnessing its proprietary technologies to develop novel donor-derived, cell-based allogeneic immunotherapies for the treatment of a broad range of cancers including blood and solid tumors, today announced six months ended June 30, 2024 financial results and provided clinical and corporate updates.
"We are committed to advancing our "off-the-shelf" allogeneic cellular immunotherapies for a broad spectrum of cancer," said Peter Choo, Chairman of CytoMed. "Taking advantage of our Southeast Asia's low cost infrastructure and collaboration with our partners, we have made extraordinary progress thus far and look towards internationalization of our operations and provide affordable cancer care to no-option sufferers." "Various international parties have approached us with interest in our proprietary gamma delta T cells, validating our off-the-shelf cell therapy technology and this can further accelerate the reach of our cells internationally," said Dr Tan Wee Kiat, PhD, the Co-CEO and COO of CytoMed.
Clinical Updates
In January 2023, the Company received formal approval from the Health Sciences Authority ("HSA") in Singapore to conduct a first-in-human Phase I clinical trial ("ANGELICA Trial") and has begun to recruit blood donors in July 2023. The ANGELICA Trial, in partnership with the National University Hospital ("NUH"), Singapore, will use healthy donor blood to manufacture allogeneic CAR-γδ T cells ("CTM-N2D"). The cells will be processed in CytoMed's own current Good Manufacturing Practice ("cGMP") facility in Malaysia.
The ANGELICA Trial comprises two parts. Part 1 (donor protocol) is ongoing with the recruitment of healthy blood donors at NUH. With the continued collaboration between CytoMed and NUH, the second part of the trial (recipient protocol) may now proceed with the recruitment of patients who have advanced cancers that are resistant to standard therapy regimens.
