Genticel is a clinical stage biopharmaceutical company that develops multivalent vaccines for patients infected with Human Papillomavirus (HPV). Till date, the company has raised EUR 27 Mio in funding.

 

Current investors include Edmond de Rothschild Venture Partners, Innobio Fund, IDInvest (Allianz) and Amundi. 

 

Our lead investigational vaccine, ProCervix, has successfully finished a very positive data-rich Phase Ib trial on 47 HPV16 and/or 18 infected women. ProCervix is the first therapeutic vaccine offering a solution to the more than 93 million women worldwide already infected with HPV 16 and/or 18 before the appearance of high grade neoplasia. This very large population, exposed at high risk to develop cervical cancer, is only now becoming accessible thanks to new screening guidelines prescribing first line HPV-based testing.

 

A large survey of prescribers and a Market Access Study predict overwhelming acceptability and a very large market potential.

 

Genticel wants to take ProCervix into Clinical Phase II and further develop our second product, a heptavalent therapeutic HPV vaccine, up to clinical stage.

 

To do this, we intend to raise additional capital from our current and selected international investors.

CEVEC commercializes an innovative platform technology for the production of vaccines and biopharmaceuticals in human cell lines.  

CEVEC’s CAP cells hold high promise for a best-in-class production system for viral vaccines, such as hCMV, Influenza and others, as shown by a recent case study. Compared to leading other cellular production systems (like MDCK) CAP demonstrated outstanding results in view of virus yield, extreme short production cycles and minimal media consumption. CEVEC’s CAP system is suspension based and serum free offering the best starting point for new vaccine production approaches with excellent upscaling possibilities. Being the only remaining independent supplier for human production cell lines, the company sets out to repeat the growth story of Crucell B.V., recently acquired by Johnson & Johnson for 2.4 Bn US$. 

Feasibility studies further demonstrated CAP being a versatile virus production platform with a broad susceptibility for various human-pathogenic human viruses. Commercially significant targets include hCMV, RSV, Influenza, Polio, Measles, AAV, Adenoviruses, Lentiviruses and others. Several lead projects have been identified and planned, including the first human platform for hCMV, together with its partner Vaccine Project Manager, Hannover, Germany.

CEVEC is underway to close another 7-10 Mio. EUR venture round. This investment will be used to push the vaccine lead projects, such as hCMV within 3 years to clinical phase I/IIa results and manage a broad roll-out of its vaccine production technology in order to maximize its company exit value by 2015. Venture investors are still invited to participate in an exciting low-risk and high return growth story. For further information, please click here: www.cevec.com
