Repertoire Immune Medicines harnesses our immune system鈥檚 intrinsic ability to cure disease by decoding relevant Antigen-TCR codes and deploying them as breakthrough immune medicines in immuno-oncology, autoimmune disorders and infectious diseases

CAMBRIDGE, Mass.--()--, a life sciences innovation enterprise, announced the launch of Repertoire Immune Medicines, a clinical-stage biotechnology company tapping the curative powers of our immune system to prevent, treat and cure cancer, autoimmune disorders and infectious diseases.

Repertoire Immune Medicines was formed by combining two Flagship companies 鈥� the innovative and proprietary immune decoding platforms of Cogen Immune Medicines and the immuno-oncology platforms of Torque Therapeutics to create a fully integrated Immune Medicines company. At the helm is Chief Executive Officer John Cox, who most recently led the spin-off of Bioverativ (BIIV) from Biogen (BIIB), and its growth and successful acquisition by Sanofi (SNY).

During the last 4 years, these two 蘑菇视频APP originated companies each advanced novel and complementary platforms 鈥� protected by over 30 patent families. Through their combination, Repertoire Immune Medicines now has the unique capability to decipher human subject-derived antigen-T cell receptor (TCR) codes from healthy or diseased tissues in the context of the major MHC (HLA) types. These complexes dictate T cell activation or exhaustion, and their immunological codes can be used to design and clinically test a multitude of unprecedented therapeutic products based on precedented and specific mechanisms of T cell killing of antigen presenting tumor cells or infected cells.

鈥淩epertoire is pioneering a new class of therapies based on high throughput, high content interrogation of the intrinsic ability of T cells to prevent, or cure diseases,鈥� said Noubar Afeyan, Ph.D., Chief Executive Officer of 蘑菇视频APP and Co-Founder and Chairman of the Board of Repertoire Immune Medicine. He continued, 鈥渙ur products will be designed to leverage the highly evolved, potent and clinically-validated mechanism of the natural immune synapse to provide immune security to patients. With these ambitious goals in mind, we are pleased to have a proven leader, John Cox, as CEO to realize our shared vision to dramatically improve outcomes for those in need or at risk.鈥�

Repertoire has developed a suite of DECODE鈩� technologies that allows in-depth characterization of the immune synapse with unprecedented precision. The company leverages its functional response technologies to thoroughly understand the presentation of antigens in disease, de-orphan T cell receptors in the context of single-cell phenotypes, and curate vast amounts of data to enable deep-learning computational prediction models. By coupling single cell technologies with cellular and acellular antigen libraries, the company decodes CD4+ and CD8+ TCR-antigen specificity across selected T cell subsets from patients and from healthy individuals.

鈥淚 am pleased to work with the 蘑菇视频APP team to integrate these two pioneering companies into a fully formed immune medicines business,鈥� said John Cox, Chief Executive Officer of Repertoire Immune Medicines. 鈥淎dvancing rationally designed immune medicines into the clinic and eventually to commercialization offers tremendous potential for patients and long-term value for our shareholders.鈥�

Three DECODE discovery technologies are at the core of the company鈥檚 immune synapse deciphering platform:

• MCR: proprietary cell-based reporter assays to experimentally quantify MHC-specific peptide display and de-orphan TCR clonotypes across virtually unlimited peptide-MHC libraries

• CIPHER: proprietary MHC multimer-based assays to detect and measure TCR clonotypes, peptide-MHC reactivity and phenotypes on a single-cell level

• CAPTAN: internally developed deep-learning computational tools to classify platform hits and leverage large datasets to predict TCR reactivity beyond what is currently possible

Decoding immune synapses relevant to a particular disease allows Repertoire to deploy the molecular codes to rationally design new immune medicines as disease-fighting TCRs and disease-associated antigens in its therapeutic products.

Repertoire鈥檚 DEPLOY鈩� technologies form a product-based platform that includes:

• PRIME: a proprietary dendritic cell priming technology to naturally expand a patient鈥檚 own tumor reactive T cells in an HLA independent manner against antigens found on solid tumors. PRIME鈩� T cells are natural, multi-clonal CD8+ and CD4+ cells featuring an optimized phenotype and high antigen-specific reactivity to multiple tumor antigens.

• TETHER: a proprietary immunomodulator platform for T cell-directed immune activation. Using the TETHER platform primed T cells are linked to immunomodulators using Repertoire鈥檚 proprietary tethering technologies, to safely direct powerful immune activators, such as cytokines or toll-like receptor agonists, to solid tumors.

• STREAM: an autologous, high-yielding and scale-able T cell biomanufacturing platform featuring a modular production system to support rapid, on-demand manufacturing without the complexity of genetic engineering. The STREAM platform enables the rapid deployment of novel immune-coded T cell therapies to patients.

Repertoire is currently engaged in its first dose escalation safety trial with an autologous T cell product TRQ15-01, which leverages its proprietary PRIME platform to prepare the patient鈥檚 T cells and its proprietary TETHER platform to link an IL-15 nanogel immune modulator to the T cells.

The journey for Repertoire Immune Medicines commenced when Flagship Labs鈥� scientists contemplated how to rationally and efficiently direct the power of our T cells for therapeutics and cures. One origination group, led by David Berry, M.D., Ph.D., General Partner of 蘑菇视频APP, focused on systematically unlocking antigen specific immune control. In parallel, another Flagship origination group, led by Doug Cole, M.D., General Partner of 蘑菇视频APP, and based on the cytokine binding work from Prof. Darrell Irvine鈥檚 lab at MIT, focused on using autologous T cells to direct potent immune modulators to the tumor microenvironment.

To date, the combined companies raised over $220M to create and develop the DECODE discovery platform and DEPLOY product platform, and to initiate its first clinical trial of PRIME & TETHER T cells in cancer. Repertoire鈥檚 rapid advancement reflects its creative, dedicated and diverse team of over 120 professionals possessing expertise in immunology, experimental medicine, physics, computational science, material sciences, process engineering, bioengineering, protein design and applied mathematics.
