AGC Biologics will manufacture novel precision cancer immunotherapy treatment Clevegen

(SEATTLE), May 5, 2020 -- AGC Biologics, a global Biopharmaceutical Contract Development and Manufacturing Organization (CDMO), has been selected to commercially manufacture the treatment Clevegen for partner Faron Pharmaceuticals Oy (AIM: FARN, First North: FARON), a clinical stage biopharmaceutical company. Clevegen is a humanized anti-Clever-1 antibody which targets CLEVER-1 positive tumour associated macrophages (TAMs) and converts these highly immunosuppressive M2 macrophages to immune stimulating M1 macrophages. This unique macrophage-directed immuno-oncology switch may be used alone or in combination with other cancer treatments.

The drug, Leronlimab, owned by CytoDyn, containing a special molecule manufactured by AGC Biologics, is showing favorable results in the treatment of severely affected COVID-19 patients.  AGC Biologics stands ready to ramp up manufacturing to meet demand once this drug is FDA approved.
