Enlivex Announces Issuance of Two U.S. Patents Covering
Methods of Treating Sepsis with Allocetra
Nes-Ziona, Israel, May 5, 2022 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE)
- Enlivex Therapeutics Ltd. (Nasdaq: ENLV, the "Company"), a clinical-stage macrophage reprogramming immunotherapy
company, today announced the issuance of U.S. Patent Nos. 11,304,976 and 11,318,163. Each patent provides Enlivex with added intellectual
property (IP) protection in the United States until at least 2036 with respect to claims covering methods of treating sepsis with AllocetraTM.
Oren Hershkovitz, PhD, CEO of Enlivex, stated, "These latest patents
add important depth to the IP portfolio protecting our sepsis program, with one specifically covering the treatment of sepsis derived
from pneumonia, urinary, or biliary tract infections. These are three important sepsis subtypes that we intend to evaluate in our Phase
II trial of Allocetra . As we continue to advance this trial and our other programs, we plan to pursue additional patents in key
geographies around the world to help maximize the value of our pipeline."
Enlivex is developing AllocetraTM as a universal, off-the-shelf
cell therapy designed to reprogram macrophages into their homeostatic state. Diseases such as solid cancers, sepsis, and many others
reprogram macrophages out of their homeostatic state. These non-homeostatic macrophages contribute significantly to the severity of the
respective diseases. By restoring macrophage homeostasis, AllocetraTM has the potential to provide a novel immunotherapeutic
mechanism of action for life-threatening clinical indications that are defined as "unmet medical needs", as a stand-alone
therapy or in combination with other therapeutic agents.
