Piramal Pharma Solutions and IntoCell: A Strategic Partnership to Advance Bioconjugate Technology
Piramal Pharma Solutions, a global player in contract development and manufacturing (CDMO), has recently formalized a partnership with IntoCell, a leading South Korean biotechnology company. This collaboration aims to bolster Piramal's bioconjugate capabilities, focusing particularly on antibody-drug conjugates (ADCs). By leveraging IntoCell's proprietary drug-linker technologies and its extensive 20 years of experience, Piramal is set to enhance its competitive edge in the bioconjugate market.
The Scope of Collaboration
The partnership is cemented through a Memorandum of Understanding (MOU), which allows for exploration of potential collaborative opportunities in ADC development. IntoCell, recognized for its innovative linker and payload technologies, will investigate licensing options for its drug-linker platforms to Piramal's clientele. In return, Piramal commits to providing comprehensive contract research, development, and manufacturing services for bioconjugates, including ADCs, to IntoCell.
This strategic alignment not only enhances the existing strengths of Piramal in payload-linker technologies but also streamlines the development process. Customers will benefit from a wider selection of payload-linkers and expedited development timelines for bioconjugates.
Enhancing ADCelerate™
Central to this partnership is ADCelerate™, Piramal’s accelerated approach to the development and manufacturing of ADCs. By harnessing the resources and expertise available at IntoCell, Piramal seeks to optimize the pathway from concept to clinical application.
Tae Kyo Park, the CEO of IntoCell, expressed enthusiasm for the collaboration, emphasizing the potential for joint success through the blending of the two companies' expertise. "Together, we aim to redefine the future of ADCs and enhance patient outcomes globally," said Peter DeYoung, CEO of Piramal Global Pharma.
