Our LentiVector® platform is the first commercially approved lentiviral based gene delivery system. It is recognised as a leading solution by multiple companies.
Our LentiVector® platform enables the successful development of breakthrough gene and cell-based medicines by us and our partners.
We have a long history and broad clinical and commercial experience in the gene therapy field, with impressive results. Our data demonstrates over seven years of stable, dose dependent gene expression in patients after direct in vivo administration. Several hundreds of patients have safely received ex vivo and in vivo treatment with products using our vectors. Our platform delivered the first FDA and EMA approved CAR-T cell therapy.
Lentiviral vectors are advantageous for a number of reasons. They can deliver large therapeutic payloads (up to 10kb) into target cells. Permanent modification of dividing and non-dividing cells is achieved through gene integration and long-term expression. Their lack of pre-existing immunity makes them safe to use.
