Aditxt’s (Nasdaq: ADTX) Adimune™ Program Has Initiated the Manufacturing Process of Immunotherapeutic Drug Candidate, ADI™-100 in Preparation for Planned Psoriasis First-in-Human Trials
22 October 2022 - 12:00AM
Business Wire
Aditxt, Inc. (Nasdaq: ADTX) (“Aditxt” or the “Company”), a
biotech innovation company developing and commercializing
technologies with a focus on monitoring and modulating the immune
system, today announces that its program Adimune™ has initiated the
GMP manufacturing of drug candidate ADI™-100 as a key milestone
toward its goal to begin first-in-human trials during the second
half of 2023. Pending regulatory approvals, these trials will be
performed in autoimmune diseases, with psoriasis as the first
indication to be studied. Adimune’s™ nucleic acid-based technology,
called Apoptotic DNA Immunotherapy™ (“ADI™”), restores/induces
immune tolerance in an antigen-specific way, and is based on a
unique mechanism of action with a potentially profound efficacy
benefit without immune suppression. Encouraging toxicology study
results for ADI™-100 earlier established the safety profile of the
drug candidate in the treatment of autoimmune diseases.
Dr. Joachim-Friedrich Kapp, M.D., Ph.D., a 30-year veteran of
the pharmaceutical industry and former president of the
Therapeutics Business Unit at the multinational pharmaceutical
company Schering AG, is leading Adimune’s™ ADI™ immune modulation
technology development toward clinical trials.
Psoriasis, caused when the immune system attacks skin cells,
triggers chronic production of itchy, inflamed, thick scaly skin
patches that can be very painful. Treatments currently range from
creams and ointments to ultraviolet light therapy to drugs. Many of
those suffering with psoriasis also have serious health conditions
such as diabetes, heart disease and depression. Some psoriasis
sufferers also have an inflammatory condition called psoriatic
arthritis that affects their joints.
Adimune’s™ solution aims to prevent the immune system attacks by
restoring immune tolerance and addressing the root cause of skin
cell build-ups. Treatment with ADI™-100 reduced skin thickening by
69% and scaling by 38% over a 10-day study period in an established
psoriasis model.
“The impact of Adimune’s™ approach to treating autoimmune
disease may have a game changing impact in a worldwide market
estimated at more than 1.2 million Type 1 diabetes patients under
the age of 20 and another 125 million psoriasis patients,” said Dr.
Kapp. “The ADI™ technology is very different from immunosuppressant
drugs in that it restores immune tolerance. Our proof-of-concept
trials are designed to demonstrate just that.”
“Aditxt’s vision is dedicated to a new era of precision medicine
through individual immune monitoring and modulation,” said Amro
Albanna, co-founder, chairman and CEO of Aditxt, Inc. “We are laser
focused on advancing each of our innovation programs toward
commercialization. Adimune’s initiation of ADI™-100 manufacturing
is measurable progress of Adimune™ toward our 2023 strategic
goals.”
The global psoriasis treatment market size is projected to grow
from $26.37 billion in 2022 to $47.24 billion by 2029, exhibiting a
CAGR of 8.7% during the forecast period, according to Fortune
Business Insights.
Adimune™ is planning to develop the ADI™ technology platform to
address a wide variety of indications.
