Asterias continues development and scale-up of the AST-VAC2 manufacturing process and expects to complete transfer of the resulting cGMP-compatible process to development partner Cancer Research UK (CRUK) in the second quarter of 2015 (Press release, BioTime, MAR 10, 2015, View Source;p=RssLanding&cat=news&id=2024391 [SID:1234502238]). Following completion of the technology transfer, CRUK will, at its own cost, manufacture clinical grade AST-VAC2 and conduct the Phase 1/2a clinical trial in patients with non-small cell lung cancer in the UK, subject to regulatory approval.
