Plasticell and Anthony Nolan to partner in clinical trials of ex vivo expanded cord blood stem cells

December 5, 2017 By Cade Hildreth (CEO) Leave a Comment

Cord blood expansion Plasticell

PlasticellDecember 5 2017, Stevenage, UK–Plasticell, a developer of innovative stem cell technologies and cell therapies, today announced it will collaborate with Anthony Nolan, a leading research organisation dedicated to saving the lives of people with blood cancers, to progress clinical development of Plasticell’s ex vivo expanded cord-blood derived hematopoietic stem cell product.

Allogeneic haematopoietic stem cell transplantation (HSCT) is a curative therapy for patients with life-threating haematological disorders and the most successful cell replacement therapy developed to date with over 40,000 transplantations performed per year worldwide. Cord blood (CB) is an ideal starting point for allogeneic HSCT as it can be collected and banked without compromising the donor and is more easily matched to recipients relative to bone marrow–derived material. However, the limited number of stem cells available in a single cord unit limit their use to paediatric patients and can cause delayed engraftment. [Read more…]

ISCT Webinar on Cell and Gene Therapy (CGT) Products in Japan

November 18, 2017 By Cade Hildreth (CEO) Leave a Comment

ISCT Webinar CGT Japan

Have you heard of the recent regulatory changes surrounding cell and gene therapy (CGT) products in Japan?

These changes have greatly increased the interest in taking CGT clinical programs to Japan from development through commercialization. ISCT (International Society for Cellular Therapy) and FIRM (Forum for Innovative Regenerative Medicine) have created a partnership to facilitate the entry and development of future CGT products in Japan.

Robert Preti, PhD (General Manager of Hitachi Chemical’s Regenerative Medicine Business Sector) and Kazuchika Furuishi, PhD (Deputy General Manager) are joining a leading Japanese management consultant (Colin Novick) to discuss the challenges to consider and examples of solutions for successfully taking your clinical cell or gene therapy program to Japan.

On Wednesday, December 6, the webinar will explore the attractive regulatory changes in Japan, as well as:

  • Increased offshore filing activity
  • Challenges to consider
  • Successful CGT programs brought to Japan

Register now for the Hitachi Chemical Advanced Therapeutics Solutions, LLC sponsored webinar and learn from experts:

FDA Lifts Clinical Hold on Cellectis Phase 1 Clinical Trials with UCART123 in AML and BPDCN

November 6, 2017 By Cade Hildreth (CEO) Leave a Comment

CellectisNovember 06, 2017, NEW YORK — Cellectis (Paris:ALCLS) (NASDAQ:CLLS) a clinical-stage biopharmaceutical company focused on developing immunotherapies based on gene-edited allogeneic CAR T-cells (UCART), today announced that the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) has lifted the clinical hold, previously announced on September 4, 2017, on Phase 1 trials of Cellectis’ UCART123 product candidate in acute myeloid leukemia (AML) and blastic plasmacytoid dendritic cell neoplasm (BPDCN).

Cellectis agreed with the FDA to the following main revisions to be implemented in Phase 1 UCART123 protocols to lift the hold:

  • Decrease of the cohort dose level to 6.25×104 UCART123 cells/kg;
  • Decrease of the cyclophosphamide dose of the lympho-depleting regimen to 750 mg/m²/day over three days with a maximum daily dose of 1.33 grams of cyclophosphamide;
  • Inclusion of specific criteria at Day 0, the day of UCART123 infusion, such as no new uncontrolled infection after receipt of lymphodepletion, afebrile, off all but replacement dose of corticosteroids, no organ dysfunction since eligibility screening;
  • Provision to ensure that the next three patients to be treated in each protocol will be under the age of 65;
  • Provision to ensure that the enrollment will be staggered across the UCART123 protocols AML123 and ABC123: at least 28 days should elapse between the enrollments of two patients across the two studies.

Cord Blood Banking for Twins – Is There Enough for Both Babies?

October 20, 2017 By Cade Hildreth (CEO) Leave a Comment

Enough Blood for Us All | Cord Blood Banking for Twins – Is There Enough for Both Babies

When parents have twins, they often choose to bank the cord blood of both twins for a variety of reasons. Genetic disorders can emerge in fraternal twins due to the contrasts in their genetic makeups and in both fraternal and identical twins because of environmental factors and epigenetics.1,2,3 For some blood and immune disorders, it may be better to use one twin’s stem cells to treat the other twin’s disease, especially because twins are more likely to be a strong HLA match for each other.

    1. Umbilical Cord Blood Bank Storage for Multiple Babies
    2. Advantage of Multiple Birth Collections

Umbilical Cord Blood Bank Storage for Multiple Babies

Umbilical cord blood banking is the collection and storage of the blood contained within the umbilical cord of a newborn for future medical use. With multiple births, storing the cord blood from two or more babies increases the total amount of cord blood stored, making multiple doses available to the family if needed.
