Luminary Therapeutics and Case Western Reserve University enter formal collaboration for development of BAFF CAR-T (LMY-920) for Sjogren’s Syndrome
Luminary Tx and CWRU enter formal collaboration for clinical development of novel BAFF CAR to treat Mantle Cell Lymphoma and Sjogren’s Syndrome
MINNEAPOLIS, MN, USA, July 7, 2020 /EINPresswire.com/ — Luminary Therapeutics (Luminary Tx) and Case Western Reserve University have entered into a formal collaboration agreement that includes an option for Luminary to exclusively license a novel BAFF target for use in CAR-T (chimeric antigen receptor T cells) constructs.
The BAFF target was discovered by Reshmi Parameswaran, PhD, an assistant professor at the Case Western Reserve School of Medicine and a faculty member in the Division of Hematology and Oncology, Department of Medicine, and the Seidman Cancer Center at University Hospitals (UH) in Cleveland.
Luminary intends to conduct IND-enabling non-clinical studies to support two clinical trials with its novel and proprietary non-viral autologous BAFF CAR-T (LMY-920) to treat Mantle Cell Lymphoma and Sjogren’s Syndrome. This BAFF target is unique in that it binds to three distinct receptors (BAFF, BCMA, and TACI). Additionally, this BAFF target avoids early B-Cells while targeting more mature B-Cells that express one of three antigens.
New research published in Nature’s Laboratory Investigation shows that CP-25 “increased saliva flow, alleviated the salivary gland indexes, and improved tissue integrity” in a mouse model of primary Sjogren’s syndrome.
Researchers “identified the underlying mechanisms of the therapeutic effect of CP-25 and provided an experimental foundation for CP-25 as a potential drug in the treatment of the human autoimmune disorder pSS [primary Sjögren’s syndrome].”
The study titled, CP-25 alleviates antigen-induced experimental Sjögren’s syndrome in mice by inhibiting JAK1-STAT1/2-CXCL13 signaling and interfering with B-cell migration, was published on July 3, 2020 and funded by the National Nature Science Foundation of China, the Provincial Natural Science Research Project of Anhui Province, and the Key Projects of Anhui Province University Outstanding Youth Talent Fund.
