Wednesday, February 7, 2024

WEXFORD, Pa., Feb. 7, 2024 /PRNewswire/ -- Coeptis Therapeutics Holdings, Inc. (Nasdaq: COEP) (the "Company" or "Coeptis"), a biopharmaceutical company developing innovative cell therapy platforms for cancer and infectious diseases, today announced plans to pursue DVX201, its proprietary allogeneic stem cell expansion and directed differentiation platform of unmodified natural killer (NK) cell therapy, as an antiviral treatment addressing various respiratory viral infections that lead to hospitalization, including the "tripledemic" of influenza, COVID-19 and respiratory syncytial virus (RSV).

Key Points: 
  • DVX201 is produced by pooling CD34+ cells isolated from multiple cord blood donations to increase lot size and immune system diversity.
  • Importantly, doses undergo stringent testing including a potency assay before treatment, to assess their ability to kill virally infected cells.
  • Additionally, DVX201 does not contain T-cells, which significantly reduces the possibility for major rejection by patients, which is a major concern for some cell therapy products.
  • DVX201, the first-ever allogeneic, cord-blood derived NK cell therapy generated from pooled donor CD34+ HSPC cells, has the potential to offer significant support to patients and to our strained healthcare system."
