Key Points: 
  • Separately, the company also plans to conduct clinical trials in both females and males to evaluate the efficacy and safety of a single-dose regimen of GARDASIL®9 (Human Papillomavirus 9-valent, recombinant), compared to the approved three-dose regimen.
  • Continued approval for this indication may be contingent upon verification and description of clinical benefit in a confirmatory trial.
  • The latest addition to the pipeline employs the company’s proprietary virus-like particle (VLP) technology to incorporate additional VLPs for expanded HPV type coverage.
  • These randomized, double-blind, multi-year clinical trials will examine the short and long-term efficacy and immunogenicity of a single-dose of GARDASIL 9 versus the currently approved three-dose regimen.

Altamira Therapeutics’ Peptide-Based Delivery Platform Shown to Enhance Potency of Commonly Used Gene Delivery Method as Published in Peer-Reviewed Journal

HAMILTON, BERMUDA, Feb. 7, 2024 -- Altamira Therapeutics Ltd. (Nasdaq: CYTO) ("Altamira" or the "Company"), a company providing nanoparticle-based technology for efficient RNA delivery to extrahepatic targets, announced today the publication of a peer-reviewed article in the Journal of Integrative Medicine titled, "Melittin analog p5RHH enhances recombinant adeno-associated virus transduction efficiency". This work evaluates the use of various peptides to enhance adeno-associated virus (AAV) cell transduction and was conducted by an independent research group.1 Recombinant AAVs are commonly used as carriers to introduce nucleic acids in cells for gene therapy; several AAV-based gene therapy drugs have already been approved by the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA).

Key Points: 
  • The study sought to find ways of increasing the endosomal release of AAV-based therapeutics by using peptides derived from melittin, a component of bee venom known for its ability to permeabilize biological membranes.
  • The research group evaluated 76 melittin derivatives, including p5RHH, the peptide underlying Altamira’s OligoPhore™ / SemaPhore™ nanoparticle platform for RNA delivery.
  • The scientists discovered that insertion of p5RHH into the AAV vector (p5RHH-rAAV) not only enhanced cell transduction, but also succeeded in transducing cell lines typically considered resistant to AAVs.
  • “Better transduction efficiency means that lower doses of AAVs may be used, which could lower the risk for deleterious immune responses and increase the safety of AAV-based vectors.

“Together with the recent HYQVIA approval in the U.S., we can now offer induction and maintenance therapy options to adults living with CIDP that may accommodate their personal treatment needs.”

Key Points: 
  • “Together with the recent HYQVIA approval in the U.S., we can now offer induction and maintenance therapy options to adults living with CIDP that may accommodate their personal treatment needs.”
    The approval is based on results from a prospective, open-label, single-arm, multicenter clinical study (ADVANCE-CIDP 2) that evaluated the efficacy and safety of GAMMAGARD LIQUID in adults with CIDP who developed a relapse in the randomized, double-blinded, placebo-controlled study evaluating efficacy, safety and tolerability of HYQVIA (ADVANCE-CIDP 1) in adults with CIDP.
  • Efficacy in ADVANCE-CIDP 2 was based on responder rate, where a responder was defined as a subject who demonstrated an improvement of functional disability.
  • The responder rate was 94.4% (N=18, 95% CI: 74.2% to 99.0%).
  • “Because CIDP is a progressive and complex disease, multiple treatment options are needed, and clinicians now have an additional therapy that can help adults with CIDP manage their disease.”
    GAMMAGARD LIQUID is the only IVIG with multiple neuromuscular disorder indications in the U.S. since it is now approved for CIDP and it is the only FDA-approved IVIG to treat multifocal motor neuropathy as a maintenance therapy to improve muscle strength and disability in adults.1 It is also indicated in the U.S. as a replacement therapy for people two years of age or older living with primary immunodeficiency.1
