NEUWAY Pharma GmbH signs License Agreement with University Zürich
NEUWAY Pharma and University Zurich enter license agreement for developing a treatment for PML
(firmenpresse) - Bonn, Zurich February 2015. University Zurich and NEUWAY Pharma GmbH, a German biotech start-up company, today announced that they have entered into a license agreement. Under the terms of this agreement NEUWAY will develop its technology to treat a rare but frequently fatal neurological disease called progessive multifocal leucoencephalopathy (PML).
Researchers at University Zurich found that NEUWAY’s engineered protein capsules (EPCs) may be used in the treatment of PML. EPCs have already been applied by clinical researchers at the university hospital of Zurich and found to enhance the immune response against the disease causing agent.
„ With NEUWAY’s EPCs we have a promising tool for the therapy of PML“, says Dr. Roland Martin, clinical researcher at university Zurich, „however further clinical studies will be needed to determine safety and efficacy of this treatment option“.
For NEUWAY, the license agreement opens an additional business field: „Our primary goal is the use of EPCs as drug delivery system. In preclinical studies we found that EPCs show a low or even no immunogenicity. The immune response however could be enhanced by modulators to use empty EPCs as vaccine also”, says Heiko Manninga, Managing Director at NEUWAY.
