PTC Therapeutics enters collaboration with Aldevron to support GMP plasmid manufacturing

South Plainfield, New Jersey. Thursday, October 10, 2019.

PTC Therapeutics, global biopharmaceutical company, announced a collaboration with Aldevron, LLC to secure GMP manufacturing capacity for PTC's gene therapy portfolio, including the Friedreich ataxia and Angelman syndrome programmes in PTC's growing gene therapy pipeline.

The central nervous system (CNS) gene therapy platform at PTC uses targeted micro-dosing applied directly to areas involved in the disorder. This allows for greater efficacy, durability, lower risk of immunogenicity or other off-target effect, and efficient and scalable manufacturing. PTC has an advancing gene therapy pipeline for CNS disorders, including programs for AADC deficiency, Friedreich Ataxia, and Angelman Syndrome. PTC is preparing a BLA for the treatment of AADC deficiency for submission to the FDA in the fourth quarter of 2019.
