ViroCell Biologics and AvenCell Therapeutics Announce Retroviral Vector Manufacturing Collaboration to Accelerate Development of Novel Allogeneic CAR-T Therapies for Blood Cancers
LONDON & NEW YORK--(BUSINESS WIRE)--ViroCell Biologics ('ViroCell'), a specialist viral vector Contract Development and Manufacturing Organisation ('CDMO') for cell and gene therapy (CGT) clinical trials, announces a manufacturing collaboration with and the successful delivery of a novel retroviral vector to AvenCell Therapeutics, Inc. ('AvenCell'), a leading clinical-stage cell therapy company focused on advancing allogeneic switchable CAR-T cell therapies. This first retroviral vector will be used to manufacture AVC-203, an investigational CD19/CD20 dual-targeted cell therapy for the treatment of B cell malignancies and autoimmune diseases. AvenCell's AV203 is its second investigational cell therapy using its differentiated allogeneic engineering to provide an 'off-the-shelf' product engineered to overcome graft-versus-host disease as well as graft rejection by host T and Natural Killer ('NK') cells. AVC-203 is designed to achieve superior efficacy compared to currently-approved CAR-Ts while enabling immediate treatment and greater patient access at much lower cost and complexity. The further inclusion of AvenCell's RevCAR™ receptor in AVC203 allows for additional antigen targeting (with 'off/on' capability in vivo) beyond CD19 and CD20. AvenCell selected ViroCell as its partner to manufacture the retroviral vector for this program based on the CDMO's expertise and track record in delivering high yield vectors at speed. Incorporating a cell line acquired by AvenCell into the GMP manufacturing process, ViroCell successfully delivered a high yield vector while meeting AvenCell's accelerated timeline. This program evidences ViroCell's ability to deliver a bespoke, complex manufacturing process in the allogeneic CAR-T cell therapy space, ultimately, enabling AvenCell's timelines for clinical entry. AvenCell's AVC-203 is expected to enter a first-in-human phase I study in patients with relapsed/refractory B cell lymphoma in H2/2025. John W. Hadden II, CEO of ViroCell, commented: 'We are thrilled to partner with AvenCell and support their innovative allogeneic CAR-T therapy platform. I am proud of Team ViroCell's accomplishments on the successful end-to-end delivery of this retroviral vector and accelerating a novel therapy into clinical development in an area of high unmet need. We look forward to continuing our work with AvenCell on their exciting platform.' Andrew Schiermeier, Ph.D., CEO, AvenCell, added: 'We are delighted with ViroCell's performance in process development and GMP manufacture of this complex retroviral vector. We selected ViroCell to support our platform because we knew that they could execute reliably in areas where other CDMOs can't. The delivery of this retroviral vector for AVC-203 is proof that our trust in ViroCell was well placed.' Notes to editor: ViroCell ViroCell Biologics is an innovation-driven Contract Development and Manufacturing Organization ('CDMO') focused exclusively on the design, de-risking, and GMP manufacture of viral vectors for clinical trials. Built around one of the most prolific academic viral vector manufacturing teams, ViroCell was created to address the global demand for precisely engineered viral vectors. The team leverages its deep track record to help clients to de-risk and accelerate novel cell and gene therapies into and through clinical development, with a mission of being the partner of choice for corporate and academic innovators. Focused initially on manufacturing lentiviral and retroviral vectors, ViroCell enables clients to start clinical trials on a scalable platform, delivering value by reducing costs, time and regulatory risk. AvenCell Therapeutics AvenCell derives its name from the French word 'avenir' to reflect the aim to be the FUTURE of cell therapy. AvenCell is building a truly transformative cell therapy company that targets difficult-to-treat cancers, with its lead programs focusing on acute myeloid leukemia (AML) and additional programs targeting other hematological malignancies. AvenCell was formed with the goal to create truly allogeneic cells that persist as long or longer than autologous therapies and develop a universal and switchable construct that allows complete control and target redirection of T cells after they are infused into a patient. Integration of these two platforms allows for complete separation of the manufacturing of cells from ultimate patient and cancer target, thus providing significant scalability potential at orders of magnitude more efficient than current approaches. AvenCell Therapeutics, Inc. was launched in 2021 by Blackstone Life Sciences, Cellex Cell Professionals, and Intellia Therapeutics. AvenCell is headquartered in Watertown, Massachusetts with additional R&D and manufacturing operations in Dresden, Germany.

Sensorion Completes Patient Enrollment of the Second Cohort in Audiogene Phase 1/2 Gene Therapy Clinical Trial
MONTPELLIER, France--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Regulatory News: Sensorion (FR0012596468 – ALSEN), a pioneering clinical-stage biotechnology company specializing in the development of novel therapies to restore, treat and prevent hearing loss disorders, today announced the completion of patient enrollment in the second cohort of its Phase 1/2 Audiogene clinical trial evaluating SENS-501, the Company's gene therapy candidate being developed to treat a specific form of congenital deafness linked to mutations in the OTOF (otoferlin) gene. Recruitment of the second cohort, composed of three patients aged between 6 and 31 months, was recently completed with the injection of the third patient. Patients in this second cohort were administered, unilaterally, a dose of d4.5 E 11 vg/vector/ear of SENS-501 which was higher than the dose in the 1 st cohort (1.5 E 11 vg/vector/ear). For all patients treated in the first and second cohorts, the surgical procedure was well tolerated: the intra-cochlear administration of the gene therapy product was uneventful. No serious adverse events and no serious side effects were reported. Early signs of hearing improvement have been observed in Patient 3, aged 11 months at the time of injection, three months after receiving the low dose. Nawal Ouzren, Chief Executive Officer of Sensorion, commented: "The completion of patient enrollment in the second cohort in Audiogene is an important milestone as it enables us to attest to the safety of the surgical approach, as no serious adverse events have been observed in all six patients injected, and of the good tolerability of SENS-501 to date. I look forward to advancing this innovative and unique program to its next steps, notably with the planned Data Monitoring Committee meeting, and to providing an update as soon as the data have sufficiently matured. On behalf of my colleagues, I would like to extend gratitude to the patients' families for their trust, as well as all the healthcare professionals involved in this clinical trial.' Professor Natalie Loundon, M.D., Director of the Center for Research in Pediatric Audiology, Pediatric Otolaryngologist and Head and Neck Surgeon, Necker Enfants Malades, AP-HP, in Paris, France, Principal Investigator of the Audiogene clinical study, added: 'I am thrilled we have successfully completed the patient enrollment of the second Cohort in Audiogene's Phase 1/2 gene therapy trial. The good tolerability of patients to SENS-501 so far and the preliminary positive data from the first cohort are very encouraging first steps for the continuation of this trial that has the potential to address a global significant unmet medical need. Once again, I would like to thank the patients' families for their trust.' Audiogene ( ID: NCT06370351) is the first gene therapy clinical trial addressing a unique homogeneous population of infants and toddlers (aged 6 to 31 months and naive of cochlear implants at the time of the injection, as per study protocol). Audiogene's clinical trial design has been intended to assess SENS-501 gene therapy product's safety and tolerability as well as its capacity not only to restore hearing but also to allow the infants and toddlers to acquire and develop normal speech. Moreover, Audiogene aims to evaluate the usability, the clinical and the technical performances of the injection system in development. About SENS-501 SENS-501 (OTOF-GT) is an innovative gene therapy program developed to treat a specific form of congenital deafness linked to mutations in the OTOF (otoferlin) gene. This gene plays a key role in the transmission of auditory signals between the hair cells of the inner ear and the auditory nerve. When this gene is defective, affected individuals are born with severe to profound hearing loss. The aim of SENS-501 (OTOF-GT) is to restore hearing by introducing a functional copy of the OTOF gene directly into hair cells via viral vector technology (AAV). This therapy aims to restore the normal process of converting sound into electrical signals, enabling patients to regain their hearing ability. Currently in the clinical research phase, this gene therapy program represents significant hope for families affected by this rare form of genetic deafness. SENS-501 (OTOF-GT) embodies a commitment to scientific innovation in the field of hearing, with the potential to dramatically improve the quality of life of patients suffering from genetic deafness. This gene therapy for patients suffering from otoferlin deficiency has been developed in the framework of RHU AUDINNOVE, a consortium composed of Sensorion with the Necker Enfants Malades Hospital, the Institut Pasteur, and the Fondation pour l'Audition. The project is partially financed by the French National Research Agency, through the 'investing for the future' program (ref: ANR-18-RHUS-0007). The OTOF gene targeted by the Audiogene trial was discovered in 1999 at the Institut Pasteur, by Prof. Christine Petit's team (Institut reConnect, Institut de l'Audition, Pasteur Institute), who also unraveled the pathophysiology of the corresponding deafness (DFNB9). About the Audiogene Trial Audiogene aims to evaluate the safety, tolerability and efficacy of intra-cochlear injection of SENS-501 for the treatment of OTOF gene-mediated hearing loss in infants and toddlers aged 6 to 31 months at the time of gene therapy treatment. By targeting the first years of life, when brain plasticity is optimal, the chances of these young children with pre-linguistic hearing loss acquiring normal speech and language are maximized. The study comprises two cohorts of two doses followed by an expansion cohort at the selected dose. While safety will be the primary endpoint of the first part of the dose escalation study, auditory brainstem response (ABR) will be the primary efficacy endpoint of the second part of the expansion. Audiogene will also evaluate the clinical safety, performance and ease-of-use of the delivery system developed by Sensorion. About Sensorion Sensorion is a pioneering clinical-stage biotech company, which specializes in the development of novel therapies to restore, treat, and prevent hearing loss disorders, a significant global unmet medical need. Sensorion has built a unique R&D technology platform to expand its understanding of the pathophysiology and etiology of inner ear related diseases, enabling it to select the best targets and mechanisms of action for drug candidates. It has two gene therapy programs aimed at correcting hereditary monogenic forms of deafness, developed in the framework of its broad strategic collaboration focused on the genetics of hearing with the Institut Pasteur. SENS-501 (OTOF-GT) currently being developed in a Phase 1/2 clinical trial, targets deafness caused by mutations of the gene encoding for otoferlin and GJB2-GT targets hearing loss related to mutations in GJB2 gene to potentially address important hearing loss segments in adults and children. The Company is also working on the identification of biomarkers to improve diagnosis of these underserved illnesses. Sensorion's portfolio also comprises programs of a clinical-stage small molecule, SENS-401 (Arazasetron), for the treatment and prevention of hearing loss disorders. Sensorion's small molecule progresses in a Phase 2 proof of concept clinical study of SENS-401 in Cisplatin-Induced Ototoxicity (CIO) for the preservation of residual hearing. Sensorion, with partner Cochlear Limited, completed in 2024 a Phase 2a study of SENS-401 for the residual hearing preservation in patients scheduled for cochlear implantation. A Phase 2 study of SENS-401 was also completed in Sudden Sensorineural Hearing Loss (SSNHL) in January 2022.
