PolTREG S.A. announced it has received CGMP certification from Poland?s Chief Pharmaceutical Inspectorate, allowing it to produce cellular therapies (Advanced Therapy Medicinal Products ? ATMP) in its own site. The certification also enables it to seek permission from Poland?s Office for Registration of Medicinal Products, Medical Devices and Biocidal Products (URPL) to perform clinical trials in the facility, for diseases such as Type-1 Diabetes (T1D) and Multiple Sclerosis (MS).

PolTREG was the first company in the world to administer T-reg therapies to patients, and the first to start receiving revenues from its lead product under a hospital exemption valid in Poland. Its manufacturing facility is one of Europe?s largest and most advanced, boasting over 2,100 sqm of laboratory space, including 15 production lines. PolTREG has the option to substantially expand the facility to accommodate manufacturing of next-generation engineered therapies and cell therapies from future partners.

The company now has more than 17 years of experience treating patients, having administered Treg cells to more than 100 people over that period, either in hospital exemption procedures or in clinical trials. PolTREG has developed one of the most advanced pipeline for Treg therapies for autoimmune disease, with both polyclonal and engineered cells. Its lead candidate, PTG-007, is in mid-stage clinical studies for two indications in T1D and two in MS. For CAR-Tregs, it expects to start a First-in-Human trial for two neurodegenerative diseases - MS and Amyotrophic Lateral Sclerosis (ALS) ?

in early 2025. It is also in preclinical tests with two further types of engineered cells.
