for the 12(th) Annual RNA Therapeutics Virtual Conference, a UK based online
event taking place February 10-11, 2021. The 2021 conference is set to explore
the latest developments in RNA delivery agents and RNA-based therapeutics with
the latest case studies on advanced mRNA technologies, oligonucleotide delivery,
therapeutic applications and future trends and innovations. PCI Biotech is also
a sponsor of the event.
Today, Wednesday February 10 2021, at 13:10pm (CET) Dr. Anders Høgset, CSO, will
present an overview of PCI Biotech’s proprietary platform technology, focusing
on the delivery of RNA molecules, including the most recent data on the use of
the fimaNAc delivery technology in the exciting field of RNA based therapies.
Per Walday, CEO of PCI Biotech, comments: Encouraging collaborative preclinical
results have recently been achieved with the fimaNAc technology and we are very
pleased to be able to share these data now. The rapid development progress of
mRNA-based vaccines against Covid-19 has generated much attention to the
potential of nucleic acid therapeutics generally, and mRNA particularly. The
results with fimaNAc suggests that this technology provides an appealing
intracellular delivery solution for certain applications within this class of
therapeutics.
An online recording of the full presentation held by Dr Høgset will be made
available on PCI Biotech’s website (www.pcibiotech.com) under “Scientific
publications & presentations” after the event.

About PCI Biotech
PCI Biotech is a biopharmaceutical late stage clinical development company
focusing on development and commercialisation of novel therapies for the
treatment of cancer through its innovative photochemical internalisation (PCI)
technology platform. PCI is applied to three distinct anticancer paradigms:
fimaChem (enhancement of chemotherapeutics for localised treatment of cancer),
fimaVacc (T-cell induction technology for therapeutic vaccination), and fimaNAc
(nucleic acid therapeutics delivery).
Photochemical internalisation induces triggered endosomal release that is used
to unlock the true potential of a wide array of therapeutic modalities. The
company’s lead programme fimaChem consists of a pivotal study in bile duct
cancer, an orphan indication with a high unmet need and without approved
products. fimaVacc applies a unique mode of action to enhance the essential
cytotoxic effect of therapeutic cancer vaccines, which works in synergy with
several other state-of-the-art vaccination technologies. fimaNAc utilises the
endosomal release to provide intracellular delivery of nucleic acids, such as
mRNA and RNAi therapeutics, thereby addressing one of the major bottlenecks
facing this emerging and promising field.
