CDX:
A bi-specific antibody (CDX) originated to Condition (clean) leukaemia patients blood prior to bone marrow transplant. Conditioning is currently done via chemo which is an awful treatment and for which 60% of leukaemia suffers are too ill to under go. Subsequently CDX has been shown in mice to eliminate leukaemia removing the need for Chemo & blood transfusion.
Additionally CDX bi-specific antibodies can lower toxicity of other therapies. On singing Eli Lilly will be able to use CDX resuscitate failed treatments within the margins CDX can reduce toxicity. There's an enormous opportunity to use CDX to troll failed trails of competitors and smaller cap companies & buy for peanuts.
2015's IPO prospects estimated US & UK bone marrow conditioning market at $3.7b. Hemo may expand market, plus can add on decent chunk for treating ALL leukaemia.
CAR-T Cell:
Signed sponsored deal with pioneers Penn State Uni to progress to phase 1 trails.
Hu-PHEC:
Cornell University CEO Dr Sandler discovered way to extract white blood cells from adult patients. These blood cells are grown and transfused back into patient. Removing need for blood donors and the issues with finding a match and rejection of transfusion. Being developed to treat blood cancer and has broader autoimmune applications.
COVID & Humanised Mice (ApbHC):
Commercialised mice (12% royalty) with 95% human immune system, have double function, pre-clinical testing enabling flawed therapies to be idendified early, improving and speeding up trials and reducing costs.
Secondly used to idendity specific antibodies e.g. COVID, Lupus etc, since March Hemo have been using mice to screen most effective antibodies from convalescent plasma. Approx 62 COVID antibodies exist. Humanised mice offer a superior method to cheaply and quickly select the best antibodies.
COVID Vaccine:
Collaborator Orgenesis are developing a COVID vaccine using Hemo's mice.
COVID test:
Study in progress to produce test to predict potential severity of patients COVID symptoms, identifying mild, moderate and sever sufferes. If successful test will enable Dr's to provide the most appropriate treatment to those most in danger.
