TC BioPharm, a clinical stage biotechnology company developing platform allogeneic gamma-delta T cell therapies for cancer and other indications, today announced that it has received a patent grant from European Patent Office (EPO) covering the use of modified gamma delta cells for the treatment of cancer and viral indications.
The Company intends to proceed with the patent process in specific European countries in line with the commercial strategy of TCBP.
“We are pleased to further expand our patent portfolio at TCBP with this European patent for Modified Gamma Delta t-cells” said Bryan Kobel, CEO of TC BioPharm. “TCBP continues to focus on our immediate applications for TCB008 while developing future high value gamma delta assets for other indications such as solid tumors. We believe gamma deltas can be a high impact therapeutic when modified with the potential to outpace current CAR and modified t-cells in safety and efficacy, patent protecting these approaches gives us a competitive moat and further value in a potential acquisition scenario.”
