About Modiblast Pharma
Modiblast Pharma is working to enter the clinical development phase with novel dendritic cell therapies for hematologic malignancies. The focus is on the core challenge of acute myeloid leukemia (AML) and myelodysplastic syndromes (MDS): the extremely high relapse rate after successful initial therapy. The Modiblast approach (3 patents granted) combines immunomodulators to stimulate blasts (cancer cells) to differentiate into leukemia-specific dendritic cells (DCleu) in the patient (in vivo). This causes both innate and adaptive immune cells in blood and tissue to kill remaining or recurring blasts and generate memory cells. Unlike, for example, CAR-T, it is not necessary to identify and select specific target molecules. Furthermore, no complicated and expensive ex vivo cell extraction and preparation procedures or GMP facilities are required. Our long-term goal is to provide an easy-to-use, self-administered medicine that can stabilize remissions or halt disease progression. This therapy can also normalize platelet and neutrophil counts. The next step in clinical development is a phase 1a/2b study that recently passed scientific consultation with the BfArM.
