TECHNOLOGY

Making Life-Changing Therapies More
Accessible Across A Wider Range of Patients

Lupagen is the only medical device and services company dedicated to bedside cell and gene therapy

Our mission is to expand access to innovative therapies by lowering cost and simplifying delivery

Lupagen can help biopharma companies that are exploring alternative delivery solutions to address current development and market challenges

HOW IT WORKS

Lupagen’s Bedside Delivery System

Lupagen Xynvivo™ System collects the patient’s peripheral blood cells using standard leukapheresis process.

Binding to transgene viral vector or nanoparticle product occurs within the Xynvivo™ System and unbound particles are removed prior to reinfusion to the patient.

This entire process is done in a patient-connected closed loop procedure at the bedside in a few hours.

PLATFORM BENEFITS

Extracorporeal Bedside Delivery Platform
with potential to improve Ex Vivo Cell
Therapy and In Vivo Gene Therapy

Ex Vivo Cell Therapy Companies

looking to expand access through a lower cost and simpler production process by migrating to an in-situ gene therapy approach

In Vivo Gene Therapy Companies

looking to accelerate their path to the clinic with an alternative route of administration that mitigates biodistribution challenges: accurate dosing, lower immunogenicity and off-target safety concerns

    • Potential Benefit
    • Ex Vivo
    • In Vivo

    Production Cost Savings

    Significantly reduces COGS and improves economics for biopharma companies, hospitals, and payers

    Obviates Cell Manufacturing

    Can convert complex and expensive ex vivo manufacturing processes to a simple bedside procedure

    Better Patient Experience

    Simple outpatient procedure providing affordable treatment and expanded patient access

CASE STUDIES

In vivo CGT Company expanding indication reach through Extracorporeal delivery.

Customer Challenge

Systemic Administration of lentiviral vectors required high vector dose creating safety risks

Biotech company with an in situ lentiviral gene delivery vehicle needed a new route of administration that could control dose and limit unbound particles in vivo.

Lupagen Solution

Alternative route of administration that mitigates dosing challenges

  • Designed rapid feasibility testing to optimize lentiviral vector for use in Lupagen extracorporeal system.
  • Prepared for key regulatory agency meetings that provided clear guidance and path forward for bedside delivery of viral vector to generate CAR-T cells in vivo.

Biotech company now has a viable preclinical alternative to control dose and mitigate safety risks relative to other in vivo CAR-T cell programs

Key Services
  • Extracorporeal process optimization for lentiviral vectors
  • PoC Studies
  • Regulatory Agency Meetings

Biotech company with an Ex-Vivo Autologous Cell Therapy technology exploring Extracorporeal Delivery to expand patient access into new indications and markets

Customer Challenge

Biotech company’s central manufacturing process is too costly and complex limiting potential to address broader autoimmune indications

Biotech company with a first-in-class platform technology enabling the treatment of Autoimmune indications had developed a successful ex-vivo approach. However, the cost structure limits commercial viability in larger indications.

Lupagen Solution

Lupagen’s bedside extracorporeal approach presented an ideal alternative to bring cost of goods down to biologics pricing and ability to access larger patient populations and markets

Lupagen collaborated with customer to select and screen viral vector candidates that are optimized for extracorporeal delivery and develop studies to enable path to clinic.

Lupagen has provided Biotech company with a potential opportunity to expand into broader autoimmune indications driven by lower costs of goods and simpler production process compared to other CGT technologies

Key Services
  • In situ Lentiviral Vector Screening
  • Extracorporeal process optimization for lentiviral vectors
  • PoC Studies

Biotech Company expanding therapeutic opportunities to apply their mRNA platform technology into new indications and markets

Customer Challenge

Biotech company with novel mRNA technology is facing challenges with targeted delivery and repeat dosing for mRNA-based gene therapy.

mRNA therapeutics have the advantage of transient expression appropriate for chronic conditions but require ability to repeat dose. Biotech company needed a new route of administration that can significantly lower dose, mitigate biodistribution challenges and lower immunogenicity to enable repeat dosing.

Lupagen Solution

Alternative route of administration that mitigates dosing challenges

Lupagen collaborated with customer to select and screen lipid nanoparticle candidates that are optimized for in situ gene delivery and develop studies to help enable path to clinic.

Lupagen has provided Biotech company with a new potential regulatory and clinical pathway for an mRNA-based therapeutic by enabling controlled and repeat dosing

Key Services
  • Lipid nanoparticle Screening
  • Extracorporeal process optimization for LNPs
  • PoC Studies
