Lonza & Eclipse Therapeutics Ink Pact for Novel Therapeutic Antibody

Lonza and Eclipse has announced an agreement for the production of Eclipse's novel cancer therapeutic antibody, ET-101.

Lonza has signed an agreement with private biotechnology company Eclipse Therapeutics for the production of Eclipse’s novel cancer therapeutic antibody, ET-101.

 

ET-101 is under investigation for the inhibition of the growth of cancer stem cells.

 

Cancer stem cells are a small subset of cells within a tumour that are thought to play a critical role in tumour initiation, recurrence and metastasis. ET-101 is a novel therapeutic antibody designed to target these cancer stem cells. Eliminating cancer stem cells, in conjunction with other therapies that address the tumour bulk, represents a new cancer treatment that could offer advantages over existing methods and a solution for chemoresistance.
