Welcome to Advanced Therapies Week 2022! I am delighted to welcome you back to Miami and look forward to seeing you all in-person again. It has been far too long!

To get the most out of the week and make connections, here are a few things to look out for: The Phacilitate Match Zone - Matching biotech with tools/tech providers and investors to help you build your commercialisation strategy; we can’t wait to have face-to-face meetings once again!

Over the past two years, the advanced therapies field has seen a lot of success. Since January 2020, there has been a 58% increase in clinical trial activity and a 43% increase in Phase III trials. Although the pandemic brought with it tremendous pressure and unique challenges, it did not stop the field innovating and progressing forward with clinical pipelines.

Germfree Mobile Cleanroom Experience - Check out this mobile cleanroom for a flexible, adaptable and quick solution to meet your manufacturing needs.

Mergers, acquisitions and capital raisings have been at an all-time high with 847 deals announced since January 2020, with an average deal value of £143m.

Members Lounge - Where Phacilitate Network Members can take some time-out from the show and enjoy a massage or healthy smoothie.

Five therapies were approved in 2021, including Bristol-Myers Squibb’s Breyanzi, bluebird bio and BMS’ Abecma, Mallinckrodt’s Stratagraft, all approved by the FDA and bluebird’s Skysona and BMS’ Abecma approved in Europe.

5k Fun Run along the shores of Miami Beach What better way to kick-start your morning?

It really has been an exciting few years for our field and we have so much to celebrate here in Miami.

Exhibition Opening Drinks - Meet both new and old industry friends face-to-face with cocktails and icebreakers; something we’ve missed after two years apart!

When putting this event together, we knew we had to celebrate being back and together in-person. We believe that the right audience mix, an agenda full of educational content, and ample opportunities for partnering inperson is key to a successful, productive event. We hope the connections you make in Miami this year will help you build your commercialisation strategy, and ultimately get your therapies to patients.

Nikki Beach Networking - Experience the true Miami lifestyle as we takeover Nikki Beach for an evening of Caribbean food and networking.

5 tracks of educational content - Focused on helping biotech on their commercialisation journey. I look forward to meeting you all this week. Please do follow the Covid guidelines to keep yourself as well as your peers safe, and please do let myself or any member of the Phacilitate team know if there is anything we can do to make your onsite experience the best it can be. Kim Barnes Executive Vice President

Mentorship and networking for women working in advanced therapies

I mentored Megan Livingston. Through the mentor-mentee relationship I identified her as a very capable individual. I started a new company focused on thin film technology for the storage of vaccines, mRNA drugs, and gene therapy treatments at room temperature. Megan became employee number one at Jurata Thin Film Inc.

CellGenix GMP DC – Optimized Medium for the Generation of Human DCs ®

Dendritic cells (DCs) are a diverse group of specialized antigenpresenting cells with key roles in the initiation of the primary immune response, and clinical studies have demonstrated their ability to induce efficient antitumor immunity1. CellGenix® GMP Dendritic cells medium (DCM) is xeno-free, and serumfree medium used for the generation of human dendritic cells (DCs). It has been developed and optimized for the easy and efficient generation of immature as well as fully mature myeloid Dendritic Cells from peripheral blood monocytes. Previously our DCM contained pharmaceutical grade lipid mix which consisted of chicken egg-derived lecithin. The new xeno-free medium does not contain any non-human-derived components. Removing animal components increases safety and makes it easier to overcome regulatory hurdles.

Omitting Lecithin from the Formulation does not Alter the Functionality of DC We conducted a set of comparative studies which include, DC yield, phenotype assay, migration capacity towards CCL21 gradient, antigen uptake, T cell activation assay, and all of the comprehensive studies verified that the performance of lecithin -deficient media is equivalent to the performance of Lipofundin-containing media. For example, To assess the capacity of mDC to induce T cell proliferation in a mixed lymphocyte reaction, isolated allogeneic naïve CD4+ T cells were labeled with CellTrace Violet, which will stain the plasma membrane. After coculturing the labeled CD4+ T cells with mDC for 5 days. CellTrace Violet staining was analyzed by flow cytometry (Figure 1) . As with each division the dye gets more diluted in the plasma membrane of the T cells, a decrease in CellTrace Violet staining indicates the proliferation of T cells. More than 70% of all labeled T cells divided at least once after coculture irrespective of the medium the DC were generated indicating that both media are equally competent to prime allogeneic naïve CD4+ T cells. iDC were generated from CD14+ monocytes using GM-CSF (800 IU/mL) and IL-4 (1000IU/mL) over 5 days. iDC were matured to mDC using TNF- (800 IU/mL), IL-6 (1600 IU/mL), IL-1 (1300 IU/mL) and PGE2 (1µg/mL) over 48 hours. Naive CD4+T cells were labeled with CelltraceViolet. CellTrace Violet staining of CD3+ T cells was analyzed by flow cytometry.

Feature provided by:

Figure 1: Induction of T cell proliferation by mDC.

(A) Unlabeled CD4+ T cells (B) Negative control: CD4+ T cells + IL-2 only. (C) Positive control: CD4+ T cells activated with antiCD3/antiCD28 beads + IL-2. (D) CD4+ T cells + DC generated in medium containing Lipofundin. (E-G) CD4+ T cells + DC generated in three different lots of media without Lipofundin.

Conclusion CellGenix® GMP DC serum-free and xeno-free medium combine both quality and safety with excellent performance due to state-of-the-art production, stringent quality control, and expert regulatory support. CellGenix® GMP DCM is optimized for the generation of human DCs and offers robust and superior performance without the use of serum. Comprehensive studies verified that the performance of the new DC medium XF equivalent to the performance of the current DC medium with regard to a variety of tested parameters e.g. DC recovery, phenotype, migration, antigen up-take und T cell priming capability. This ensures reliable and consistent results which is crucial for the standardization of your ATMP manufacturing process. CellGenix® GMP DCM is the best media available on the market and all materials used in production are procured from reliable manufacturers and suppliers; and their origin and impurity profile are assessed before use. 1.

Life Science Gets its Capital Booster Jab PHACILITATE’S WESLEY JOHNSON EXPLORES MORE TOP DEALS FROM THE PAST MONTH OR SO IN THE LATEST INSTALMENT OF HIS INVESTMENT BLOG SERIES. The life science industry continues its red hot form into November with a plethora of M&A transactions and funding rounds being wrapped up and placed under the proverbial Christmas tree. One deal in particular that stood out from the crowd in November was Blackstone stamping their authority in the UK with one of the largest private financings of a UK biotech company, and the largest from a single source. Blackstone’s capital injection in Autolus seems to be following a trend of an increasing amount of ‘take-private” transactions being launched across the sector, especially in the United Kingdom. According to a recent article by Lexology, since the start of 2021, market experts have seen nearly £35bn of bids launched in the United Kingdom alone. Research suggests that this trend to take private is arguably because public markets are not pricing assets correctly… However, returning to the round-up, below I have highlighted a few of the industry’s top transactions concluded for the month of November.

With increasing competition across the life science industry being fuelled by new entrants and investors looking for the next big growth opportunity, transactions continue to flourish. In a recent article by McKinsey, they noted that large pharmaceutical companies still very much rely on biotechs as a source of innovation. With the top dozen pharma companies having more than $170 billion in excess reserves that could be available for spending on M&A, the prospect for further financing and deal-making look very promising going forward.
