DNA ImmunoBody® Patent Granted in first market
Sep 11 2013
Scancell Holdings Plc, the developer of novel immunotherapies for the treatment of cancer, is pleased to announce that a patent for its DNA ImmunoBody® technology has been granted in Australia. This is the first jurisdiction to approve the DNA patent and is a key landmark on the road to comprehensively protecting Scancell’s DNA ImmunoBody® platform technology.
The patent, which covers the DNA ImmunoBody® platform technology and is of importance for the protection of Scancell’s entire pipeline of ImmunoBody® vaccines, has also been filed in the US, Europe and other major markets. The composition of matter patent for SCIB1, Scancell’s ImmunoBody® vaccine for the treatment of melanoma, has already been granted in Europe, Turkey and South Africa.
Scancell’s protein ImmunoBody® patent has been approved in the US, Europe, Japan and Australia.
Dr Richard Goodfellow, Joint Chief Executive of Scancell, commented: “Our lead ImmunoBody® for melanoma, SCIB1, currently in Phase I/II clinical trials is based on the DNA approach. The approval of this DNA patent is therefore a very important step in the development and commercialisation of our ImmunoBody® platform. Scancell continues to build its growing portfolio of intellectual property in parallel with advancing the clinical trial programme on SCIB1.”
