NEUWAY Pharma and Cobra Biologics collaborate to develop GMP-grade engineered protein capsules manufacturing process

Collaboration supports GLP toxicity studies and initiation of clinical development for treatment of Progressive Multifocal Leukoencephalopathy.

The material will be used by NEUWAY for the conduct of GLP toxicity studies and initiation of clinical development in the treatment of Progressive Multifocal Leukoencephalopathy, a severe neurodegenerative CNS disease. NEUWAY Pharma also uses its EPCs as a CNS drug delivery platform by filling them with active drug substances.

Dr Heiko Manninga, Chief Scientific Officer (CSO) and Managing Director of NEUWAY Pharma commented: “The initiation of GMP development is an important step towards qualification of EPCs for clinical development. We are very happy that we have gained Cobra Biologics as partner for the GMP manufacturing of EPCs.”

Peter Coleman, CEO Cobra Biologics commented: “We are very pleased to be manufacturing NEUWAY Pharma’s EPCs for what is a rare but serious disease, often resulting in severe disability or death. With Cobra’s 17 years of virus production experience we hope this is just the beginning of our collaboration.”
