Mallia Therapeutics and Northway Biotech Announce Partnership for the Manufacturing of Soluble CD83 Protein for Hair Loss Treatment
With Northway Biotech's expertise in biologics manufacturing, Mallia aims to enter the multi-billion-dollar alopecia market by delivering a safe and effective topical sCD83 treatment designed to stimulate hair follicle formation and promote sustained hair growth.
ERLANGEN, GERMANY AND VILNIUS, LITHUANIA / ACCESS Newswire / February 4, 2025 / Mallia Therapeutics ("Mallia"), a biopharmaceutical company developing novel treatments for hair loss, and Northway Biotech ("NBT"), a biologics Contract Development and Manufacturing Organization (CDMO), have announced a partnership for the development of the production process and manufacturing of Mallia's soluble CD83 protein (sCD83), a treatment aimed at promoting hair follicle formation and growth.
Under the agreement, Northway Biotech will leverage its expertise in biologics manufacturing to develop the production process for the recombinant sCD83 protein for large-scale production, utilizing the Pichia pastoris expression system. This collaboration includes the development of analytical methods, technology scale-up, and the manufacturing of a cGMP Drug Substance.
Dr. Manfred Groeppel, co-founder and Managing Director of Mallia Therapeutics, said: "With this partnership, we are advancing the development of sCD83 to turn our research into a scalable treatment for patients."
"Interestingly, sCD83's mode of action induces both the formation of new hair follicles and thus hair growth, and has the potential to redefine treatment approaches for hormone-induced androgenetic alopecia as well as immune-mediated alopecia areata," emphasizes Prof. Dr. Alexander Steinkasserer, co-founder and Managing Director of Mallia. "By developing a robust production process, we are ensuring the quality required for future clinical as well as commercial applications."
Prof. Vladas Algirdas Bumelis, CEO and Chairman of Northway Biotech, expressed, "We are excited to be working with Mallia on developing the manufacturing process of sCD83.
