Vancouver, BC, Canada, September 29th, 2022 - Defence Therapeutics Inc. (“Defence” or the “Company”), a Canadian biopharmaceuticals company primarily focussed on the development of novel immune-oncology vaccines and drug delivery technologies including Antibody Drug Conjugate (“ADC”), is pleased to announce that a notice of allowance has been issued by the Japan Patent Office for its Japanese patent application no. 2018-568469. In addition, the acceptance of its Israeli patent application no. 261765 was published in the Israel Patents and Designs Journal on 1st August 2022.
The allowance of these new patents covering conjugated compounds permitting delivery of antibodies to the nucleus through the Company proprietary technology AccumTM. AccumTM further consolidate the Company’s patent portfolio on its solution for precision delivery method for improved intracellular antibody drug conjugate (“ADC”) routing. Overcoming problematic cell recycling and rejection patterns, Accum™ enables ADCs to control intracellular delivery of chemotherapeutic drugs, resulting in superior preclinical anti-tumor activity. By increasing the tumor targeting specificity – due to increased drug accumulation – non-specific toxicity in healthy cells is greatly reduced.
"The Japan and Israel patents constitute an important milestone in protecting and expanding the commercial potential of AccumTM directly related to our ADC program. Defence is expecting pending key studies results in the near term and will report as they become available. Defence’s commitment to protect the Company’s AccumTM technology platform innovation is crucial as its ADC development expands. ADC interest continues to increase worldwide being that ADC’s are applied in oncology and is advancing rapidly", says Mr. Plouffe, the CEO of Defence Therapeutics.
