Biotechnology company Pluri Inc.’s CDMO division has signed a manufacturing agreement with Remedy Cell Ltd, a biopharmaceutical company developing stem cell-derived, cell-free therapeutics for complex fibrotic conditions.
 
PluriCDMO will support Remedy Cell’s production team in the manufacturing of a clinical-grade Working Cell Bank (WCB) and GMP batches of Remedy Cell’s drug candidate RC-0315, derived from mesenchymal stem cells, towards the launch of their Phase Ib clinical trial for the treatment of Idiopathic Pulmonary Fibrosis (IPF), a lethal, complex, progressive interstitial lung disorder with a median survival of 3.8 years.
 
Remedy Cell CEO, Ayelet Dilion-Mashiah, said, “This is an exciting time at Remedy Cell as we initiate the early stages of clinical development of our novel drug candidate, RC-0315, for IPF, a condition with significant unmet treatment needs.
