GC Cell has signed a memorandum of understanding (MOU) with PT Bifarma Adiluhung to introduce Immuncell-LC, an autologous T-cell therapy for hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC), to the Indonesian healthcare market.
The strategic deal between the two companies facilitates the entry of the therapy into the country, thereby expanding its reach.
Immuncell-LC is the only approved treatment for liver cancer in Korea.
The deal encompasses not only the introduction of Immuncell-LC in Indonesia but also talks on technology transfer and the joint development of further natural killer (NK) cell therapy pipelines.
GC Cell recently launched its Blueprint 2.0 strategy, which underscores a strategic shift towards developing future growth drivers, including the global commercialisation of its cell therapy products.
Immuncell-LC is at the forefront of this global expansion, especially in Asia-Pacific.
