AffyXell Platform
Convergence of DW-MSC & Affimer Platform
AffyXell Platform
Novel Cell & Gene Therapy Platform for Immune-mediated Diseases
“AffyXell” developed by AffyXell Therapeutics is a next generation cell & gene therapeutics that has adopted Affimer® gene to DW-MSC with advantage
of consistency of stem cell features for long term cultivation.
“AffyXell” maintains the fundamental immune-modulatory function of mesenchymal stem
cell, and that functions are improved further through Affimer®,which is expected to feature more excellent efficacy than any precedented stem cells.
Also, Affimer® has its advantage in being able to clearly explain its mechanism of action property of AffyXell as it affects more specific proteins. AffyXellis
is based on DW-MSC, which means that it can be used for diverse patients (Allogenic therapy) and can be developed into a cryopreservation product
that can be administered to the patient without additional preparation at the hospital, which is expected to be a cell & gene therapeutic in a whole
different concept from the conventional stem cell therapy.
Based on 900 clinical trials, MSC’s immune-modulatory properties are well known,
but it’s in vivo mechanism is hardly explained
Therapeutics for immunologic/inflammatory diseases with clear mechanism
- A Paracrine effects : Effect from cytokine or growth factor secreted by MSCs
- B Cell to cell contact : Takes on effect by being in interaction with immune cells or damaged cells
- 1 AFX-001 : Regulation of T cell-mediated B cell activation
- 2 AFX-002 : Treg-mediated suppression of T cell activation and proliferation
- 3 AFX-003 : Control of general Immune environment
Modality
- Allogenic MSC therapeutics, high versatility as off-the-shelf product
- Maximize immunomodulation effects
(MSC’s effects + Affimer-mediated specific effects) - Overcome current challenges and limitations of stem cell therapies (Clear MoA & mass production with consistent quality control)
Mode of Actions
- Designed to improve immunomodulation function of MSC with Affimer®
- Specific agonist or antagonist to signal regulator(s) to control abnormal immune responses
- Designed to recover the balance of immune system by controlling both innate and adaptive immune system
Therapeutic Area
- Autoimmune disease,Transplantation rejection (SOT, GVHD), and Inflammatory diseases
- Indication expansion to intractable diseases: sub-acute strokes, severe acute pancreatitis, acute respiratory distress syndrome (ARDS)
Cost Effective
- Cell banking system, which enables mass production
(leading to affordable care for patients) - Controlled manufacturing process for robust and consistent MSC products
- Consistent quality management from batch-to-batch and unit-to-unit
