FEATURED STORY

PharmaCyte’s Cell-in-a-Box encapsulation technology targeting cancer, diabetes

PharmaCyte Biotech (OTCQB:PMCB) is developing cellular therapies for its lead pancreatic cancer program and for diabetes that are based on a proprietary cellulose-based live cell encapsulation technology known as a Cell-in-a-Box. 

“When used for pancreatic cancer treatment, the combination of Cell-in-a-Box encapsulation plus a cancer prodrug, which needs to be converted to its cancer-killing form by the cells in the Cell-in-a-Box capsules, turns out to be a completely unique approach to the treatment of pancreatic cancer,” CEO, president and general counsel, Kenneth L. Waggoner, says in an interview with BioTuesdays.

“In very early clinical trials, this combination produced a strong antitumor effect at the tumor site, with little-to-no treatment-related side effects,” he adds.

Mr. Waggoner explains that to treat pancreatic cancer, PharmaCyte’s platform technology encapsulates genetically modified live cells that are used with a cancer prodrug, ifosfamide. These modified encapsulated cells are implanted in the blood supply as close as possible to the tumor site.
