In August 2023, Coeptis secured its exclusive license to key assets from Deverra, including an allogeneic stem cell expansion and directed differentiation platform, two investigational new drug (IND) applications, and two Phase 1 clinical trial stage assets investigating DVX201 as an unmodified NK cell therapy generated from pooled donor CD34+ cells. These assets expand Coeptis' pipeline and align with the Company's mission to develop treatments for targeting cancer, autoimmune and infectious diseases.
The revised license agreement now enables Coeptis to expand its field of use in the event of:
- Pandemic-Related and Emergency Preparedness: Utilizing unmodified NK cells as treatment of illnesses and injury arising from a pandemic, or act of terror or war, including but not limited to Acute Radiation Sickness (ARS)
- Stockpiling and Emergency Use Situations: Allowing unmodified NK cells to be produced and stored in advance, to stay prepared in advance of future health crisis.
"We are delighted to expand our field of use to now include pandemic and emergency situations, as it now broadens the applicability of NK cells to ensure that we are prepared for future health crises and potentially address long term side effects that may arise as a result of a pandemic," said Dave Mehalick, President and CEO of Coeptis Therapeutics.
