About MultiCell Technologies, Inc.
MultiCell Technologies, Inc. is a clinical-stage biopharmaceutical company developing novel therapeutics and discovery tools to address unmet medical needs for treatment of neurological disorders, hepatic disease and cancer.
MultiCell's therapeutic development platform relies on patented techniques to: (i) isolate, characterize and differentiate stem cells from the human liver, or (ii) control the immune response at transcriptional and translational levels through dsRNA-sensing molecules such as Toll-like receptor (TLR), RIG-I-like receptor (RLR), and MDA-5 signaling, or (iii) generate specific and potent immunity against key tumor targets through a novel immunoglobulin treatment, or (iv) modulate the noradrenaline-adrenaline neurotransmitter pathway.
MultiCell's drug candidates are in various stages of discovery optimization, and preclinical and clinical development:
-- MCT-125 is a Phase 2 therapeutic candidate for treatment of fatigue in
MS patients, which has demonstrated efficacy in a 138-patient Phase
IIa clinical trial.
-- MCT-465 is a preclinical synthetic dsRNA therapeutic candidate and
potent immune enhancer for the treatment of solid tumor cancers such
as those expressing TLR-3.
-- MCT-475 is a discovery stage antibody therapeutic candidate for use in
combination with dsRNA for the treatment of solid tumor cancers.
-- MCT-485 is a discovery stage dsRNA therapeutic candidate with tumor
cytolytic properties for the treatment of certain cancers.
