Key Highlights of Amicus-Thermo Fisher Scientific Partnership:
- Batten disease programs: current research and development production technologies and capabilities related to the Amicus preclinical and clinical-stage gene therapy programs for CLN6, CLN3, and other potential Batten disease programs are being transferred to and developed at Thermo Fisher’s viral vector services business.
- CLN6 Batten disease gene therapy: the existing process for the CLN6 Batten disease gene therapy is being transferred to Thermo Fisher and undergoing a similar GMP process for clinical and commercial-scale manufacturing and supply.
- Broader portfolio: Thermo Fisher and Amicus to collaborate to develop platform manufacturing capabilities to support the broader portfolio of AAV gene therapy programs
