Polyplus-transfection, GMP-quality clinical batch of its nucleic acid transfer reagent

Strasbourg, February 1st, 2008 – Polyplus-transfection, a company specialized in the research, development and marketing of innovative reagents for transfection and RNA interference (RNAi), announced the production of the first batch of its transfection reagent in vivo-jetPEI manufactured in full compliance with Good Manufacturing Practice (GMP). This GMP-compliant in vivo-jetPEI is required for clinical trials involving nucleic acids delivery (DNA and siRNA).
Polyplus-transfection carried out preliminary work to transfer production to GMP-compliance in 2007 thanks to financial support from the AFM, France’s Muscular Dystrophy Association. This has made it possible for a Phase II clinical trial to start in the field of cancer therapy this year using Polyplus’ GMP-compliant in vivo-jetPEI. Details of the clinical trial have not yet been disclosed... Polyplus-transfection's Press Release [PDF English version] - PDF Version Française-
