ProMIS Neurosciences Initiates Manufacturing of PMN310, its Lead Therapeutic Antibody for Treatment of Alzheimer’s Disease

Program is on track for clinical trial start in H2 2019

TORONTO and CAMBRIDGE, Mass., June 12, 2018 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- ProMIS Neurosciences, Inc., a biotechnology company focused on the discovery and development of precision treatments for neurodegenerative diseases, today announced the initiation of producer cell line development for PMN310, its lead therapeutic antibody candidate for treatment of Alzheimer’s disease (AD). Selexis, SA will carry out this critical first step in the manufacturing of antibody therapeutics using the proprietary Selexis SUREtechnology Platform™.

ProMIS’ lead antibody product candidate, PMN310, is a humanized antibody that binds with high affinity and selectivity for the toxic oligomers of amyloid beta (Ab), a recognized root cause of AD. PMN310 is anticipated to enter phase I clinical trials in the second half of 2019.

“We recently completed successful affinity maturation of PMN310, which in addition to its unique and highly selective binding profile offers increased opportunity for best in class therapy for Alzheimer’s disease,” said Dr. Elliot Goldstein, ProMIS President and CEO. “We are now initiating the manufacturing process with Selexis’ proprietary, high-performance technology platform for cell line development based on its proven track record for rapid and stable production of antibody therapeutics such as PMN310.”

Selexis’ proprietary and high performance SUREtechnology Platform facilitates the rapid, stable and cost-effective production of virtually any recombinant protein including those that are difficult to express in other systems.

“It is rewarding for us to leverage the fast speed/timelines and superior performance of the Selexis platform to rapidly and predictably advance PMN310 into the clinic with the goal of supporting ProMIS Neurosciences as they seek to bring a much needed treatment option to patients with Alzheimer’s disease,” said , Selexis vice president, business development and licensing. “We believe our best-in-class technology can help propel forward this best-in-class therapeutic candidate.”
