A few days ago, Refuge Biotechnologies, Inc.
, a shareholding company of 3SBio, and the University of Texas MD Anderson Cancer Center announced a strategic cooperation to develop new smart cells for the treatment of solid tumors
.
This cooperation combines Refuge's innovative technology with MD Anderson's biologics development platform experience and industrial strength
According to this collaboration, MD Anderson has the exclusive right to apply Refuge's proprietary next-generation cell engineering platform to its tumor infiltrating lymphocyte project
.
MD Anderson will also jointly develop Refuge's RB-340 and participate in clinical new drug (IND) declaration, GMP production and phase I/II clinical trials
Previously, in 2018, China's leading biopharmaceutical company 3SBio, Sequoia China, and Series A investors completed a US$25 million Series B investment in Refuge, and announced the cooperation with Refuge to jointly develop smart cells and enjoy certain designated products in China Priority for commercialization
