Kiadis Pharma Presents ATIR and Rhitol Data and NIH Presentation on ATIR
Dr. Denis Claude Roy head of Stem Cell Transplantation Unit, Hospital Maisonneuve-Rosemont, Montreal, Canada: "Our results indicate that the post-transplant infusion of a ATIR-PDT treated DLI is feasible, does not induce acute GVHD, and suggests a clinical benefit for patients receiving the highest DLI doses to accelerate T cell reconstitution. This PDT strategy represents an appealing alternative for older patients and those at high risk for GVHD"
"Our results demonstrate that TH9402 PDT not only eliminates activated T cells, but preserves Tregs, with the functional ability to inhibit residual alloreactive cGVHD cells. This inhibitory effect requires live effector Tregs, secretion of IL-10 and TGF-I(2) expression. With such dual effector mechanisms, photopheresis using TH9402 should translate into improved treatment efficacy and enhanced quality of life for patients with chronic GVHD"
