[Asia Economy Reporter Oh Ju-yeon] MedPacto announced on the 29th that it has obtained a European patent related to a pharmaceutical composition for cancer prevention or treatment and a method using the same. The company stated, "We are developing Vactosertib, which targets TGF-β that regulates the tumor microenvironment," and explained that "the patent concerns the composition and use for cancer prevention and treatment through the combined administration of our Vactosertib, which selectively inhibits TGF-β signaling, and immuno-oncology drugs."



They added, "Even if the exclusive license for Vactosertib expires in the future and generic versions of Vactosertib are launched, the rights related to combination therapy with immuno-oncology drugs will be protected by MedPacto's patent, effectively extending the period of MedPacto's rights protection."
