TC BioPharm (Holdings) PLC ("TC BioPharm" or the "Company") (NASDAQ:TCBP) a clinical stage biotechnology company developing platform allogeneic gamma-delta T cell therapies for cancer and other indications, today announced the execution of a non-binding letter of intent as part of its M&A strategy aimed at expanding its therapeutic platform and leveraging NK (natural killer) cells in treating both solid tumors and other indications.
The target asset acquisition covers the proprietary manufacturing process of two allogeneic CAR-NK therapeutics, both of which TCB believes are valuable as monotherapies as well as in conjunction with TCB-008 in the future. Initially, the CAR platforms both are targeted towards solid tumors, including a CD-70 CAR NK technology and an HER2 CAR-NK technology. TCB sees substantial synergies in this potential acquisition, both in clinical therapeutic terms of TCB-008 in combination with the CAR-NK assets, as well as leveraging the existing expertise and human capital of TCB to further advance and refine the manufacturing process while bringing in additional CAR expertise to advance multiple platforms.
There is substantial evidence supporting the rationale that gamma delta t-cells and NK cells play important and symbiotic roles in the immune response for various disease indications. Due to the fact that NK cells do not need to be genetically engineered in order to recognize cancer cells, patients are able to be treated in an expedited timeframe.
Under the terms of the LOI, TC BioPharm has been granted exclusivity while the parties work in good faith on the drafting of a definitive agreement. There can be no assurance that a definitive agreement will be executed or that the proposed transaction will be consummated on the terms or timeframe currently contemplated. TC BioPharm's Board of Directors' approval and disclosed thereafter. Upon execution of the definitive agreements, the completion of the transaction will be subject to, among other matters, satisfaction of the conditions negotiated therein, the Company having secured adequate financing, and receipt of all third party (including governmental) approvals, licenses, consents, and clearances, as and when applicable. There can be no assurance that the Proposed Transaction will be completed on the terms contemplated in the LOI or otherwise.
"With the difficult times in cell therapy we see this as a unique opportunity to aggressively expand our asset base in other immune cells and immune responder technologies, which we believe will further enhance TCBP as a leader in cell therapy and increase our future value," said Mr. Bryan Kobel, CEO of TC BioPharm. "We believe this proposed asset acquisition brings not just a new and expanded opportunity in cancer, but synergies in combination efforts with TCB-008 in numerous indications. This proposed asset acquisition would leverage our strengths in optimizing manufacturing processes and developing new cell therapies rapidly to the clinical stage, as well as our core asset on asset base expansion and combination efforts with TCB-008. By merging complimentary technologies under one roof we believe the potential exit value of TCBP is increased, patients will benefit in expanded clinical trial efforts which we will control, and ultimately benefit shareholders in future value."
