Founded in April 2014 in Grenoble (France) as a spin-off of the French Blood Bank (Etablissement Français du Sang, EFS), PDC*line Pharma is a Belgian-French biotech company that is developing a novel class of off-the-shelf cancer immunotherapies based on a proprietary Plasmacytoid Dendritic Cell line (PDC*line) pre-loaded with peptides that are derived from target tumor antigens.

Melanoma

Melanoma is the most lethal form of skin cancer, representing 2% of all newly diagnosed cancer cases (232,000 new cases and 55,000 deaths worldwide in 2012). It is also the leading cancer in terms of incidence increase (+ 10% per year) and one of the most common cancers in young adults (18-35 years).

Melanoma is often easier to detect in its early stages than most cancers. However, it is also more likely to spread (metastasize) to other parts of the body, and 16% of patients are first diagnosed at an advanced stage. Despite new treatments, prognosis for this late-stage disease is very unfavorable (5-year mortality rate of 85%).

Lung Cancer

Lung cancer is the most common malignancy worldwide for male patients and for both sexes combined (2.1 million new cases per year), and the third most common for female patients (after breast and colorectal cancers). Deaths from lung cancer exceed those from any other malignancy globally, with the number of lung-cancer-related deaths worldwide for 2018 estimated at 1.8 million (Globocan 2018), representing 18.4% for both sexes. Non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) is the most common type of lung cancer, representing 80% of cases.

Technology

PDC*line, our proprietary allogeneic cell line of Plasmacytoid Dendritic Cells solves the industrial limitations faced by immunotherapies based on dendritic cells currently on the market or in clinical development. Additionally PDC*line is much more potent than conventional dendritic cells to expand anti-tumor CD8+ T cells in vitro.
