Guizhou bailing (hereinafter referred to as "party a") announced on September 5 that it had signed a technology transfer contract with Chengdu endoshi Bioengineering Technology Co., Ltd (hereinafter referred to as "Party B") to obtain its gene therapy eds01 (recombinant human endostatin adenovirus injection) project Gene therapy gene is the basic functional unit of carrying biological genetic information, which is a specific sequence located on the chromosome Gene therapy refers to the introduction of foreign normal genes into target cells to correct or compensate for diseases caused by gene defects and abnormalities, so as to achieve the purpose of treatment In other words, the exogenous gene is implanted into the patient's appropriate receptor cells through gene transfer technology, so that the products produced by the exogenous gene can treat a certain disease The introduction of foreign genes into biological cells must rely on certain technical methods or vectors Adenovirus vector is one of the most commonly used viral vectors in gene therapy At present, gene therapy is mainly used to treat diseases that pose a serious threat to human health, including genetic diseases (such as hemophilia, cystic fibrosis, family hypercholesterolemia, etc.), malignant tumors, cardiovascular diseases, infectious diseases (such as AIDS, rheumatoid, etc.) As a new biomedical high-tech treatment method, gene therapy is a hot research and development direction in the field of global medicine Compared with the developed countries such as the United States and Europe, the research and clinical trials of gene therapy drugs in China have been carried out earlier with a higher starting point Professor Wei Yuquan, vice president of Sichuan University, director of National Key Laboratory of biotherapy and academician of Chinese Academy of Sciences, is an early scientist engaged in gene drug research and treatment in China, and the only deputy editor in chief of the international authoritative magazine human gene therapy in Asia He and his research and development team enjoy a high reputation and academic success in the field of gene therapy at home and abroad Fruit The project of eds01 eds01 (recombinant human endostatin adenovirus injection) is the research achievement of gene drugs used by Wei Yuquan's team in the treatment of head and neck tumors At present, phase I clinical trials have been completed and phase II clinical trials are being carried out The recombinant adenovirus is independently constructed and has independent intellectual property rights The preclinical study showed that eds01 could inhibit the growth of laryngeal cancer cell Hep2 and human nasopharyngeal carcinoma cell HNE in nude mice; it had obvious therapeutic effect on human lung adenocarcinoma cell SPC-A-1, A549 human non-small cell lung adenocarcinoma cell and mouse Lewis lung cancer cell transplanted subcutaneously in nude mice, and it had enhanced effect when combined with chemotherapy drug carboplatin; the safety evaluation experiment confirmed that it had obvious therapeutic effect in rhesus monkey It is also safe to use 18 times of the clinical dosage The single dose incremental experiment of phase I clinical study showed that the tumor patients were well tolerated, and there was no dose limited toxicity (DLT) and maximum tolerated dose (MTD) The main adverse reactions were fever, local injection site pain, and influenza like symptoms Multi dose administration, twice a week, two consecutive weeks of intratumoral injection, is also safe and tolerable, but the adverse drug reactions increased After single or multiple administration, the initial response of the target focus was seen, and the effective response rate of multiple administration was 16.67% Head and neck tumor is a common disease in China, accounting for 19.9% - 30.2% of the total malignant tumors 60% - 70% of the patients were in advanced stage (Ⅲ - Ⅳ), the five-year survival rate was only 30%, and the local recurrence rate was high (40% - 60%) At present, comprehensive treatment including surgery, radiotherapy, chemotherapy and so on is a common treatment mode for advanced head and neck tumors, which can only improve 5% of the total five-year survival rate Many patients died of tumor recurrence and metastasis due to poor treatment Eds01 is an inhibitor of angiogenesis, endostatin, which is introduced into the body through adenovirus The expressed endostatin can enter the blood and spread to the far end through blood circulation to inhibit the tumor and metastasis at the far end At the same time, the effect of endostatin on tumor blood vessels is irrelevant to the type of tumor, and it is suitable for the treatment of the vast majority of malignant tumors Moreover, eds01 is replication defective adenovirus It can't replicate in the infected cells, it won't spread to the environment, and there is no biosafety problem Eds01 has the world's leading technology and obvious advantages It has the conditions and may become the first gene drug in the world to achieve the purpose of treating malignant tumors by inhibiting the growth of blood vessels The main contents of the contract are as follows: 1 The technology transferred by Party B to Party A: Technical scope: ① all preclinical research data of new drugs declared by eds01, including but not limited to preparation process, process conditions and process parameters, product quality standards, detection methods, pharmacology, etc.;
