The three-year partnership focuses on stockpiling and distributing Pluri's PLX-R18 cell therapy as a countermeasure against Hematopoietic Acute Radiation Syndrome (H-ARS).
The collaboration aims to build an initial capacity of 12,000 doses of PLX-R18, sufficient to treat 6,000 individuals. If successful, the initiative could generate over $100 million in value for both parties. Hemafund will leverage its biobank infrastructure for storage and distribution across Ukraine.
This strategic initiative comes in response to recent security concerns, including a Russian drone strike on the Chernobyl nuclear power plant. The partnership encompasses:
- Secure storage and distribution systems
- Regulatory compliance support
- Clinical advancement opportunities
- Public and private funding initiatives
