WEXFORD,
Pa., Oct. 24, 2024 /PRNewswire/ -- Coeptis
Therapeutics Holdings, Inc. (Nasdaq: COEP) (the "Company" or
"Coeptis"), a biopharmaceutical company developing innovative cell
therapy platforms for cancer, autoimmune, and infectious diseases,
today announced the expansion of its license agreement with Deverra
Therapeutics Inc. ("Deverra"), broadening the potential
applications of its allogeneic natural killer (NK) cell technology.
This expansion includes the use of unmodified NK cells in treating
viral infections, pandemic-related illnesses, and emergency
stockpiling for future health crises.
In August 2023, Coeptis secured
its exclusive license to key assets from Deverra, including an
allogeneic stem cell expansion and directed differentiation
platform, two investigational new drug (IND) applications, and two
Phase 1 clinical trial stage assets investigating DVX201 as an
unmodified NK cell therapy generated from pooled donor CD34+ cells.
These assets expand Coeptis' pipeline and align with the Company's
mission to develop treatments for targeting cancer, autoimmune and
infectious diseases.
The revised license agreement now enables Coeptis to expand its
field of use in the event of:
- Pandemic-Related and Emergency Preparedness: Utilizing
unmodified NK cells as treatment of illnesses and injury arising
from a pandemic, or act of terror or war, including but not limited
to Acute Radiation Sickness (ARS)
- Stockpiling and Emergency Use Situations: Allowing
unmodified NK cells to be produced and stored in advance, to stay
prepared in advance of future health crisis.
"We are delighted to expand our field of use to now include
pandemic and emergency situations, as it now broadens the
applicability of NK cells to ensure that we are prepared for future
health crises and potentially address long term side effects that
may arise as a result of a pandemic," said Dave Mehalick, President and CEO of Coeptis
Therapeutics.
