N4 Pharma Plc (LON:N4P), the specialist pharmaceutical company developing Nuvec®, a novel delivery system for cancer treatments, gene therapy and vaccines, has provided an update on its subsidiary, Nanogenics Limited.
Nanogenics has signed a contract to start the formulation and sequence selection work to prepare its ECP105 product for testing in pre-clinical studies at Kings College, London.
Nanogenics’ ECP105 product for the recovery of post-surgical treatment of Glaucoma contains a proprietary siRNA sequence to silence the fibrotic gene MRTF-B. Glaucoma patients who have failed to respond to medication need surgery to lower intraocular pressure which causes fibrosis at the surgery site.
