Completion of GMP Drug Substances in January
for Clinical Trials in H2, 2023
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 the formation of a U.S.-based subsidiary
Adimune, Inc. (“Adimune™) and its plans towards submission of a
Clinical Trial Application (“CTA”) for its immunotherapeutic
technology drug candidate, ADI™-100 (“ADI™-100” or “ADI™”). The CTA
application will request approval for Adimune™ to conduct the
first-in-human study in psoriasis patients, beginning in the second
half of 2023. A second study is also planned for type 1
diabetes.
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, will serve as CEO of Adimune™ and chairman of the board. Among
his responsibilities as CEO of Adimune™, Dr. Kapp will be tasked
with leading and developing the ADI™ immune modulation technology
toward clinical trials.
“My vision for Adimune™ is to advance our program and
effectively demonstrate that ADI™ technology is designed to restore
immune health in patients with autoimmune diseases such as
psoriasis and type 1 diabetes,” said Dr. Kapp. “We believe 2023
will be a pivotal year for us as we prepare and implement CTA
approved clinical human trials featuring our drug candidate,
ADI™-100, which we believe to be extremely promising.”
GMP drug substances of the product candidate ADI™-100 are slated
to enter the product stability testing program in January 2023.
Encouraging toxicology study results for ADI™-100 in 2022 confirmed
the safety profile of the drug candidate. The ADI™ technology,
which restores/induces immune tolerance, is based on a unique
mechanism of action with a potentially profound efficacy benefit
without immune suppression.
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 systemic
drugs. More than 125 million people worldwide are afflicted with
psoriasis. Adimune’s™ product aims to prevent immune attacks by
restoring immune tolerance and addressing the root cause of
inflammation in skin.
“The formation of Adimune™ around ADI™ technology demonstrates
Aditxt’s business model of building businesses around promising
innovations. For the past two and half years, acceleration of the
ADI™ technology toward clinical trials has been a leading objective
of Aditxt, and we now have reached a pivotal milestone by forming a
subsidiary with its own dedicated team to advance the
commercialization of one of our technologies – ADI™,” said Amro
Albanna, co-founder, chairman and CEO of Aditxt.
“Under Dr. Kapp’s leadership, we believe Adimune™ is rapidly
nearing that goal. We are confident that 2023 will provide tangible
progress, illustrating Aditxt’s determination to meet important
milestones that will benefit our company and stakeholders,”
continued Amro Albanna.
