Overview
Shanghai Grit Biotechnology Co., Ltd. (GRIT) and Shandong Quangang Pharmaceutical Co., Ltd. (Quangang) announced the establishment of a formal strategic partnership to leverage both parties' R&D capabilities in innovative T-cell therapy. The objective is to jointly develop a globally standardized IL-2 for solid tumor patients receiving T-cell therapy, aiming to localize the global standard IL-2 with accessible prices for Chinese patients.
Focus of the Collaboration
The focus of the collaboration will be on expanding the indications of Quanqi (125SER) Interleukin-2 (I) products for solid tumors.
