Autoimmunity to be Targeted

SAN DIEGO , Oct. 25, 2023 /PRNewswire/ -- Regen BioPharma, Inc. (OTC PINK: RGBP) (OTC PINK: RGBPP) has previously discussed initiation of a series of experiments to validate its DuraCAR CAR T-cell therapeutic ( https://www.prnewswire.com/news-releases/regen-biopharma-inc--begins-experiments-validating-its-proprietary-car-t-cell-therapy-301623585.html ) while also identifying new, unexpected and potentially extremely useful findings in developing cell therapy treatments for autoimmune disorders https://www.prnewswire.com/news-releases/studies-on-regen-biopharma-incs-duracar-indicate-potential-suppression-of-autoimmunity-company-retains-contract-research-organization-to-conduct-additional-confirmatory-studies-301931365.html .

The Company has now received the complete set of confirmatory data performed by a second contract research organization (CRO) which is independent of the CRO which performed the initial experiments.  These data confirm that T cells which express the chimeric antigen receptor (CAR) construct targeting CD19 and expressing siRNA for NR2F6 had high expression levels of NR2F6 mRNA.  NR2F6 is considered an immune checkpoint and thus increasing its activity is likely to lead to immune suppression.

"Being able to substantially elevate NR2F6 levels is truly an unexpected, but welcome finding. We now have a sound scientific basis to pursue designing T cells which can tamp down on the uncontrolled immune activation seen in multiple autoimmune disorders," says Dr. Harry Lander , Chief Scientific Consultant to the Company. "We recently filed a patent application around such T cells and we feel we have a head start on this in the scientific community, particularly around using nuclear receptors such as NR2F6."

"Having a second confirmatory study gives us confidence we are making the right decision to pursue these novel cell therapies focused on autoimmunity," says Dr. David Koos , Chairman and CEO of the company. "I expect that after consulting with our Board of Advisors and internally, the Company will soon have a clear picture of the specific indications and approaches it will pursue."
