Helixmith will introduce its platform technology and expertise in the gene therapy field, the excellence of ‘Engensis (VM202),’ the latest clinical development status, and future clinical development strategies.
Yoo Seung-shin, CEO of Helixmith, said, “This year, the Engensis (VM202) DPN Phase 3-1 trial was selected as a ‘notable clinical result in Q1 2021’ by Nature Biotechnology, and ongoing clinical trials such as ALS Phase 2a in the US and Korea, and CMT Phase 1/2a in Korea are progressing smoothly. Since various global bio companies are attending, we expect business partnerships including collaborations.”
He added, “Although global business is not easy due to COVID-19, we will take steady participation in digital conferences as an opportunity to grasp global trends and maintain continuous communication.”
