PolTREG Treg cell therapy for patients with type-1 diabetes shows long-term clinical remission and insulin independence
09 Setembro 2024 - 2:00AM
- PTG-007 cell therapy resulted in clinical remission in
some patients for up to 12 years
- A proportion of patients remained insulin-independent
for up to 24 months
- PTG-007 ready to enter pivotal study
- Data presented at INNODIA EASD conference
Gdańsk, Poland – 9 September 2024 – PolTREG
S.A. (Warsaw Stock Exchange: PTG) , a clinical-stage biotechnology
company developing cellular therapies for a range of autoimmune
diseases, today announces data showing that treatment with its Treg
cell therapy, PTG-007, resulted in clinical remission for up to 12
years in patients with type-1 diabetes (T1D). A subset of these
patients remained insulin-independent up to 18 to 24 months after
treatment. The company will present the data at the INNODIA EASD
symposium in Madrid today.
“People with type-1 diabetes understand the life-long commitment
needed for their care. This is why the results of treating patients
over such a long period with our cellular therapy PTG-007 is so
important. Today’s results are extremely encouraging, and show that
some patients remain in clinical remission for up to 12 years after
initial treatment. This makes us very eager to launch a pivotal
study of PTG-007 as soon as we find a suitable partner. We
believe that PTG-007 has the potential to free many type-1
diabetics from the life-long burden of having to take frequent
insulin injections, and the serious long-term complications of the
disease,” said Prof Piotr Trzonkowski, Chief Executive Officer of
PolTREG.
The clinical study monitored 54 patients who had taken part in
Phase I and Phase II trials with PTG-007 to treat early-onset T1D,
over a period between 7 and 12 years. The main findings
were:
- A proportion of patients treated with PTG-007 remained
insulin-independent up to 18 to 24 months after treatment.
- A subset of patients was still in clinical remission 7 to 12
years after treatment with Tregs. Clinical remission is defined as
having a low need for external insulin, while retaining proper
metabolic/ glycemia control.
- The best results were observed in patients who had been given
Treg therapy in combination with a standard anti-CD20 treatment
(rituximab), when measuring own insulin levels after patients had
consumed a standardized liquid meal.
- The study analysed more than 700 variables of heart
functioning, microcirculation, kidney, liver, endocrine system,
fertility. It found no inferiority of the variables in patients
treated with Treg cells when compared to standard-of-care.
- The study noted no
severe adverse effects from the treatment.
The company is working to publish the study in a peer-reviewed
scientific publication, at which stage it will provide full data
disclosure. The long-term safety and efficacy results of its Treg
therapy in T1D presented today are a significant competitive
advantage and pave the way for the company to launch a pivotal
Phase 2/3 study of PTG-007 to treat T1D, for which it is currently
seeking partnership funding.
PolTREG holds one of the largest and most advanced pipelines for
Treg therapies for autoimmune disease, developing both polyclonal
and engineered therapies. Its lead candidate, PTG-007, an
autologous polyclonal Treg treatment, is in mid-stage clinical
studies for T1D and multiple sclerosis (MS). Later this year,
PolTREG will launch a Phase 2 study in presymptomatic T1D patients.
Next year, PolTREG expects to start a first-in-human trial of its
engineered CAR-Treg, using the PTG-007 platform, for treatment of
MS and amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS). The company also is in
preclinical development with two further types of engineered Treg
cells.

PolTREG manufactures all its Treg therapeutics at its own
GMP-certified manufacturing facility. It is the first company in
the world to have administered Treg therapies to patients, and,
under a hospital exemption valid in Poland, the first company to
start receiving revenues from a Treg therapeutic for autoimmune
disease. Its GMP manufacturing facility is one of Europe’s largest
and most advanced, boasting over 2,100 sqm of laboratory space,
including 15 production lines.
PolTREG has the option to substantially expand the facility to
accommodate manufacturing of next-generation engineered therapies
and cell therapies. It can ship its wide range of cellular therapy
products across Europe within 24 hours.
About PolTREG PolTREG is a
global leader in developing autoimmune therapies based on
T-regulatory cells (Tregs). Its lead product, PTG-007,
autologous Treg treatment for early-onset Type-1 Diabetes (T1D) is
ready for Phase 2/3 clinical testing, for which the company is
seeking a partnership. The company will launch Phase 2 trials for
PTG-007 to treat Multiple Sclerosis (MS) in the second half of
2024, for RRMS and PPMS. PolTREG also has engineered Tregs,
including CAR-Tregs, antigen-specific Tregs and TCR-Tregs, in the
preclinical stage. PolTREG has completed four clinical trials with
more than 100 patients treated with Tregs.
