Teijin Limited announced the signing of a technical advisory agreement with Professor Dario Campana, M.D., Ph.D., a noted authority on cell therapies including chimeric antigen receptor (CAR)-T cells, one of the most promising cell and gene therapies for leukemia and cancer. He is a professor in the Department of Paediatrics, Yong Loo Lin School of Medicine, National University of Singapore. Professor Campana who is involved in the technology development of CAR-T cell therapy, will help Teijin Regenet advance manufacturing technologies and quality control systems for cell therapy products. The goal is to support pharmaceutical and biotechnology companies and benefit the patients that receive their therapies.
Through this agreement, Teijin Regenet Co., Ltd., which operates regenerative medicine contract development and manufacturing organization (CDMO) businesses within Teijin group, will strengthen its global expertise, optimize its manufacturing processes and improve quality for cell and gene therapies, including CAR-T cells.
“CAR-T cell therapy has become an important tool in the treatment of cancer,” said Professor Campana. “It is a privilege to work with Teijin Regenet Co., Ltd., as it seeks to expand access to CAR-T and other cell therapies for patients in Japan and around the world.”
“While CAR-T cell therapy is expected to yield high therapeutic efficacy, it is an area that requires advanced expertise in manufacturing technology and quality control,” said Takeshi Hosoyama, president, Teijin Regenet Co., Ltd. “Through this partnership with Professor Dario Campana, who has been a leader in the CAR-T cell therapy field, we will further strengthen our technological foundation and contribute to the smooth transfer of manufacturing and high-quality products for our customers' developed products.”
Partnership Details Under this agreement, Professor Campana will share his expertise in cell therapy products by providing: (1) Advice on designing manufacturing processes and optimizing manufacturing conditions for CAR-T cells transferred from development to manufacturing. (2) Provision of cutting-edge knowledge on cell therapy technologies, including nextgeneration CAR-T cell therapy (3) Strategic advice to enhance technological capabilities and competitiveness in Teijin and Teijin Regenet's regenerative medicine CDMO business CAR-T cell therapy is a highly personalized cancer treatment that is manufactured individually for each patient. During the process of transitioning manufacturing methods established during the research and development stage to commercial production, challenges such as cell proliferation and quality reproducibility may arise. Therefore, advanced expertise in designing and optimizing manufacturing processes and quality control is required.
As a regenerative medicine CDMO, Teijin Regenet provides comprehensive services from process development for cell therapy products to manufacturing investigational drugs and building manufacturing systems for commercial production. In recent years, the company has been working to optimize manufacturing processes for cell therapies and further strengthen its quality control systems.
Future Outlook Going forward, the Teijin Group will continue to contribute to the practical application of innovative treatments and the improvement of patients' quality of life by strengthening its technological capabilities in the field of regenerative medicine.
