Season 1 (2011-2020)

Completed project

(KDDF-201904-20) Development of Novel Hyaluronidase for the Subcutaneous Administration of Antibody Therapeutics

Others, Protein
  • Development and Market Objectives

    - Development of novel recombinant human hyaluronidase which can facilitate of large volume subcutaneous drug delivery esp. for immunoglobulins and anti-cancer monoclonal antibody therapeutics by degrading hyaluronan and promoting dispersion and absorption of administered fluid

     

    - Improved structural stability and enzymatic activity by modifying human hyaluronidase PH20.

     

  • Unmet Medical Need & Target Patients

    -  Applicable to any protein/antibody therapeutics which could be developed for SC administration

     

    -  More emphasis on patient convenience in recent therapeutics market

     

    -  SC administration is predominantly preferred to IV administration in terms of treatment time, cost, and patient convenience.

     

  • Current Progress

    - Stable cell line was established.

     

    - Production process development for large scale production is ongoing.

     

    - Preclinical animal study will soon be initiated.

     

  • Intellectual Property

    - Patent #: 10-2018-00***** (application date: 2018. 07. 25)

     

    - Patent #: 10-2019-00***** (application date: 2019. 03. 15)

     

  • Competitive Advantages

    - Higher specific activity, stability and productivity than the wild-type PH20 and rHuPH20

    - The only second recombinant human hyaluronidases in the market
