PharmaVentures is pleased to announce that it is acting as advisor to Intocell on their ongoing collaboration agreement with Cellectar.

This follows the announcement that Cellectar and Intocell have expanded their collaboration using Intocell’s proprietary OHPAS linker and payload technologies to develop novel phospholipid ether drug conjugates (PDCs).

Steve Waterman, Managing Director at PharmaVentures, said “The collaboration with Cellectar has produced exciting preclinical results with multiple payloads, and the decision to advance these programmes into Investigational New Drug (IND) enabling studies is very encouraging.

We are looking forward to continuing to support Intocell with partnering of its Ortho-Hydroxy Protected Aryl Sulfate (OHPAS) linker and its novel payloads that promise a wider therapeutic index over existing technology. Equally exciting is the progress with its pipeline of proprietary antibody drug conjugates (ADCs), the most advanced of which is its B7-H3 ADC. ”

Fintan Walton, Founder and CEO of PharmaVentures, said “PharmaVentures is pleased to have advised Intocell throughout the initiation, negotiation, and execution of this multi-target collaboration agreement with Cellectar. PharmaVentures has a long and strong history in supporting our clients in their deal making activities due to our considerable transactional insight of the healthcare sector.  Furthermore, our specialist knowledge and experience of the Korean emerging biopharmaceutical sector sets us apart from other transactions advisory firms.”
