CytoVac
↗Hørsholm, Denmark
CytoVac A/S is a Danish clinical-stage biopharmaceutical company founded in 2008 that specializes in developing novel immunotherapies using autologous cell therapy technology. The company's lead program, ALECSAT (Autologous Lymphoid Effector Cells Specific against Tumor-cells), is a proprietary cancer immunotherapy that extracts a patient's blood sample and produces and activates Cytotoxic T cells (CTL) and Natural Killer (NK) cells ex-vivo. These activated immune cells are then reintroduced to attack cancer cells and activate the patient's immune system. CytoVac's focus is primarily on orphan oncology indications, with clinical development concentrated on glioblastoma multiforme (GBM), triple-negative breast cancer (TNBC), and previously pancreatic and prostate cancers. The company operates GMP-approved manufacturing facilities in Denmark with a current annual production capacity of approximately 200 doses.
