FibroBiologics Issued Patent for Fibroblast Delivery of Tumor Inhibitory Agents by the European Patent Office
17 October 2024 - 12:15AM
FibroBiologics, Inc. (Nasdaq: FBLG) (“FibroBiologics , a
clinical-stage biotechnology company with 160+ patents issued and
pending with a focus on the development of therapeutics and
potential cures for chronic diseases using fibroblasts and
fibroblast-derived materials, announced the issuance of a patent
from the European Patent Office (Patent Number 19795975.2) covering
methods and compositions for the treatment of cancer utilizing
fibroblasts that have been modified to enhance their ability to
deliver one or more anti-cancer agents to an individual.
This method uses modified fibroblasts to deliver
tumor-inhibiting agents directly to cancer cells. The fibroblasts
would be engineered to enhance their natural ability to target
cancerous tissues, and then loaded with therapeutic agents to fight
primary, metastatic, or treatment-resistant tumors. Modifying the
fibroblasts in this manner may make them more effective in
targeting cancer cells and delivering treatment.
Founder & Chief Executive Officer of FibroBiologics, Pete
O’Heeron said, “The issuance of this patent recognizes the novelty
and utility of using modified fibroblasts to deliver
tumor-inhibiting agents for cancer treatment. This technology is an
example of the potential therapeutic versatility of fibroblast
cell-based therapies.”
Chief Scientific Officer of FibroBiologics, Hamid Khoja, Ph.D.,
added, “This patent is yet another major milestone for a potential
cancer treatment platform. Traditional therapies often struggle
with limited penetration into tumor tissues, but fibroblasts may
offer a significant advantage as they are a key component of the
tumor microenvironment and have the ability to modulate the immune
response. By harnessing the unique characteristics of fibroblasts,
we may be able to deliver tumor-inhibiting agents more effectively,
potentially opening new avenues for targeting even the most
challenging cancer types.”
