Developer of Immune Cell Therapeutic Drugs
ImmuXell Biotech was established in January 2021, with a registered capital of 20 million yuan. Located in the Kangqiao Industrial Zone of Shanghai's Zhangjiang Science City, it is a clinical-stage biopharmaceutical technology innovation enterprise focused on the research and development and production of breakthrough immunotherapy drugs. Its main product is a novel immune cell preparation targeting solid tumors.
Dr. Hu Hongming, the founder of ImmuXell Biotech, has dedicated many years to the field of tumor immunology. With extensive experience in basic and clinical research on cancer immunology as well as translational medicine, several immunotherapy drugs he originally developed have entered clinical trials. Building on this foundation, ImmuXell Biotech has developed multiple product pipelines with independent intellectual property rights. Among them, the TCR-T cell therapy product targeting KRAS mutations has completed TCR screening, in vitro functional validation, and in vivo efficacy testing. Investigator-initiated trials (IIT) for advanced pancreatic ductal adenocarcinoma have been carried out across multiple clinical centers, and the product is now in the preparation stage for IND submission. Additionally, significant progress has been made in ImmuXell Biotech’s other product pipelines, including TCR-NK products that can be used as allogeneic cell therapies, and TCR fusion protein products that can be mass-produced and supplied off-the-shelf.
Since its establishment, ImmuXell Biotech has achieved rapid development in platform construction, pipeline setup, and product layout. The future goal is to identify shared gene mutations and tumor neoantigens, and to develop a series of TCR products for treating recurrent and refractory malignant tumors such as pancreatic cancer. The company aims to combine personalization with universality in cell therapy products, enhancing the efficacy and accessibility of cell therapies to benefit a broader patient population.
