    AstraZeneca ties up with Transgene to develop viral immunotherapies

    AstraZeneca has been moving deeper into cancer therapy market through wide-ranging deals, including those for immunotherapy and targeted therapy.


    New Delhi: British drugmaker AstraZeneca Plc and French biopharmaceutical firm Transgene SA entered into an agreement on Thursday to co-develop five cancer-killing viral immunotherapies.


    Viral immunotherapy represents a new way of treating cancer by using transgenes, or genes that are artificially introduced into the genome of another organism. A number of companies are working to harness the power of specific viruses to fight tumours using this technology.


    "AstraZeneca will select the transgenes to be encoded within the virus and will be responsible for further in-vivo pre-clinical development and, subject to option exercise, clinical development and commercialization of these novel oncolytic immunotherapies," Transgene said.
