Company Profile
Telomium is a biotechnology company developing a therapeutic product for cancer immunotherapy based on telomerase. Telomerase is the enzyme that controls the potential of cellular proliferation, and which is reactivated in 90% of human cancers (Nobel Prize 2009). So far, a major limitation in the development of an effective telomerase immunotherapy has been the technical impossibility to produce significant amount of telomerase protein, but recently a breakthrough system now allows its large-scale production (PMID: 25958399). Telomium implements this new technology which furthermore supports the preparation of a cancer vaccine of a completely new class in the pharmacopoeia: a ribonucleoprotein vaccine, which has the special ability to reproduce the mechanisms operating in autoimmunity that breaks immune tolerance. This self-adjuvanted and self-vectored telomerase ribonucleoprotein vaccine is prepared from a patented, safe, competitive and scalable yeast-based technology. By inducing a full activation of the immune system against cells producing telomerase (=the cancer cells in an adult body), our product has the ability to induce an autoimmune reaction targeted against any form of cancer, without causing significant side effects. Given the almost universal presence of telomerase in human cancers our product has the potential to extend the efficiency of immune checkpoint-inhibitors from the current minority to a majority of patients.
