New Cell Therapy Technology Set to Enter Clinical Trials in 2024

Kytopen's Flowfect Tx™ to Revolutionize Cell Therapy

Kytopen Corp. has announced the successful sale and installation of its cutting-edge Flowfect Tx™ transfection system to a leading cell therapy company. This milestone marks a significant step towards the clinical application of this advanced technology.

In preparation for clinical trials, the company plans to submit an investigational new drug (IND) application with the FDA by late 2024. This brings hope for new treatments for autoimmune diseases using engineered cell therapies.

Advantages of the Flowfect Tx™ System

The Flowfect Tx™ platform is unique in combining mechanical, electrical, and chemical forces to optimize cell transfection. This technology allows for the precise adjustment of various parameters to enhance efficiency, health, and yield of the transfected cells.

Customer feedback has highlighted the system's ability to process large volumes of material quickly, producing billions of engineered cells in a short time. This makes the technology highly suitable for large-scale manufacturing of cell therapies.

Clinical Applications and Impact

The first clinical trials using the Flowfect Tx™ system will focus on CAR T-cell therapies aimed at treating autoimmune diseases. These engineered cells have the potential to offer new, effective treatment options for patients suffering from these debilitating conditions.

Kytopen has already shown promising results with various cell types and therapeutic applications, suggesting broad potential for the technology in future medical treatments.

Support and Collaboration

Kytopen has been working closely with its clinical and commercial partners through its Technology Access Program (TAP). This collaboration has enabled the rapid development and optimization of the Flowfect Tx™ system.

Future partnerships with leading institutions and companies are anticipated to further drive the innovation and application of this promising technology.

Kytopen's Ongoing Commitment

According to Dr. Michael Chiu, CEO of Kytopen, the success of the Flowfect Tx™ system is just the beginning. The company's goal is to continue advancing the field of cell therapy to address current manufacturing challenges.

Kytopen's emphasis on quick, efficient, and scalable solutions is expected to bring significant advancements in medical treatments, including potential future therapies beyond autoimmune diseases.

Overall, the Flowfect Tx™ system represents a major step forward in cell therapy technology, with exciting developments expected in the near future.
