Gdańsk, Poland – 16 January 2024 – PolTREG S.A. (Warsaw Stock Exchange: PTG), a clinical-stage biotechnology company in Europe developing cell therapies for use in a wide range of autoimmune diseases, announced it received a Notice of Allowance from the United States Patent and Trademark Office (USPTO), covering the manufacturing of T-regulatory cells (T-reg) to treat Type-1 Diabetes (T1D), and ways the therapy is administered. The US allowance constitutes an important addition to the intellectual property portfolio covering PolTREG’s autoimmune therapies.
“This USPTO decision complements our extensive intellectual property portfolio in the US and EU, paving the way for rapid, unimpeded commercialization of PolTREG’s cell therapies,” said PolTREG CEO Prof Piotr Trzonkowski. “Together with our 17 years of experience with patients at our own facilities in Poland, our dominant intellectual property portfolio demonstrates that we are leading pioneers in the field of T-reg therapeutics for autoimmune disorders. Indeed, we are the first ever to have administered Treg cell therapies to patients and the first company to begin receiving revenues from sales of our lead product; so far, 27 patients have been successfully treated commercially under the Hospital Exemption program in Poland.”
The US patent application covers the manufacturing of Treg cells, the formula of the cellular medicinal product containing Treg cells, and the ways the therapy is administered in T1D patients... PolTREG's Press Release -
