The two cell and gene therapy products are now included in the company’s GMP manufacturing license according to §13 of the German Medicines Act (AMG). The GMP inspection was conducted by the Bavarian State Authorities and the Germany regulatory agency Paul-Ehrlich-Institute (PEI).
The first product is Agenmestencel-L, apceth's allogeneic next generation genetically modified mesenchymal stem cells (gmMSCs) for solid cancer. This successful GMP certification of the production process represents a crucial milestone in the development of apceth's allogeneic off-the-shelf product.
