XNK Therapeutics receives EMA scientific recommendation for evencaleucel as an Advanced Therapy Medicinal Product
XNK Therapeutics AB ('XNK') today announced that evencaleucel has received a scientific recommendation from the Committee for Advanced Therapies (CAT) of the European Medicines Agency (EMA). This recommendation classifies evencaleucel as a Somatic Cell Therapy Medicinal Product (sCTMP) within the category of Advanced Therapy Medicinal Products (ATMPs).
XNK's platform, which is used for the manufacturing of evencaleucel, has ideal properties to produce autologous NK cell-based drug candidates for targeting malignant diseases across a wide range of indications in mono- and combination therapy. It encompasses a unique closed manufacturing system for development of NK cell-based products. The process includes a selective expansion and activation of NK cells from peripheral blood of patients with cancer.
"We are very pleased with EMA's scientific recommendation. This is a necessary step in our regulatory approval journey and will make future interactions easier with the authorities," said Peter Hovstadius Chief Medical Officer at XNK.
