-- Defence Therapeutics Inc. ("Defence"
or the "Company"),
a biotechnology company working on cancer therapeutics and
infectious disease vaccines is pleased to announce the
establishment of an agreement with the Lady Davis Institute cell
processing center (CPC) to initiate manufacturing of its
AccumTM
DC cancer vaccine
candidate AccuVAC-D001. This agreement immediately positions

breast cancer.
The mandate
of the Jewish General Hospital CPC located at the Lady Davis
Institute is to support early phase clinical trials of cell-based
therapies where processing of human cell and tissue is required to
treat human catastrophic illnesses such as cancer. The close
proximity of this facility to hospital patients further simplifies
the logistics of the trial.
The facility comprises of the Clean Room area where cell processing
takes place, as well as the Laboratory Annex supporting the Clean
Room. The Clean Room is a clinical-grade, high sterility isolation
facility certified ISO Class 7. It is operated by highly qualified
personnel led by Dr. Nicoletta Eliopoulos, a pioneer in cell
therapy with a track record of successful implementation and
prosecution of custom autologous cellular
pharmaceuticals.
"We are a step closer to initiate our Phase I trial using our
proprietary AccumTM
DC technology with the establishment of such agreement. These
studies will not only establish the "blueprints" of our
manufacturing process, but they will implement import quality
control steps required by regulatory agencies prior to treating
melanoma and breast cancer patients in 2022", says Mr. Plouffe, CEO
of Defence Therapeutics.
