EQNX::TICKER_START (NASDAQ:AVCO), EQNX::TICKER_END Goal of Partnership is to expand Avalon's R&D pipeline to include innovative companion diagnostics in association with the company's ongoing and future cellular immunotherapy clinical programs
Appoints Dr. Hongxing Liu, a world-renowned expert in precision diagnostics for hematologic malignancies, to its Scientific and Clinical Advisory Board to further strengthen Avalon's companion diagnostics development capabilities
Avalon GloboCare Corp. (NASDAQ: AVCO), a leading global developer of innovative cell-based technologies and therapeutics, announced today that the Company has signed a memorandum of understanding (MOU) with Lu Daopei Hematology Institute ("LDHI") to co-develop precision companion diagnostics (CDx) for chimeric antigen receptor (CAR)-T cell therapies.
LDHI is a premiere hematology research institute with a state-of-the-art facility and expert capabilities for developing precision diagnostics based on personalized genomic, proteomic, transcriptomic and metabolomic platforms. Through this strategic partnership with LDHI, Avalon plans to expand its R&D pipeline to include innovative companion diagnostics in association with its ongoing and future cellular immunotherapy-related clinical programs.
To further strengthen its CDx development capabilities, Avalon has appointed Dr. Hongxing Liu, M.D., M.S., Executive President of LDHI and a world-renowned expert in precision diagnostics for hematologic malignancies, to its Scientific and Clinical Advisory Board.
A CDx is a medical device or test, which provides personalized patient information that is essential for the safe and effective use of a highly tailored or targeted therapeutic treatment. A CDx may help a health care professional understand whether the benefits of a therapeutic treatment for a patient would outweigh any potential serious side effects or risks.
CAR T-cell therapies, a number of which have been approved by the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA), are personalized therapies, made from a patient's own cells. CAR-T cell therapy involves bio-engineering and expression of a molecular weapon attacking specific targets on cancer cells. A CDx could help predict whether a patient would respond to a CAR-T cell therapy.
"It is an honor to form this strategic collaboration with the researchers and clinicians at the prestigious Lu Daopei Hematology Institute to advance the clinical development of potentially breakthrough cellular immunotherapies along with companion diagnostics," said David Jin, M.D., Ph.D., President and Chief Executive Officer of Avalon GloboCare. "LDHI will be an ideal partner that has the expertise and capabilities to conduct laboratory and analytic work on cancer biomarkers and precision medicine, as well as access to the clinical and bio-informatics database of the Lu Daopei Hospital. We are especially pleased to welcome Dr. Hongxing Liu to our Scientific and Clinical Advisory Board. Dr. Liu will become an invaluable part and will support our efforts in the development of innovative companion diagnostics in connection with our ongoing and future clinical programs involving cellular immunotherapies."
"Companion diagnostics play an important role in developing effective therapies, by identifying those patients most likely to benefit from biomarker-driven treatments," said Dr. Hongxing Liu, M.D., M.S., Executive President of LDHI. "There is a need for better, faster ways to assess patients' immune profiles to provide personalized immunotherapies. The companion diagnostics we are developing are designed to provide important information about the safe and effective use of a corresponding drug or biological product. Patients with cancer whose care incorporates the use of appropriate companion diagnostics as part of their initial assessment have historically seen a greater survival benefit than those who were not tested. I look forward to working with Avalon to develop these innovative companion diagnostics for CAR-T cell therapies, as well as advancing the bioinformatics database and testing kits."
The agreement between Avalon GloboCare and LDHI is subject to negotiation and execution of definitive documentation acceptable to both parties.
