Esco Aster, a vertically integrated cell and derivatives CRDMO based in Singapore, announced on Monday that it will provider CMC manufacturing support for Taiwan-based Shine-On Biomedical's HLA-G targeted exosome program.
Shine-On Biomedical sponsored Esco Aster in 2023 for cGMP services, starting with high-yield exosome development using Esco Aster's cell line platform. The technical reports of process, analytical, and formulation development, exosome drug loading, GMP engineering runs, and stability studies supported Shine-On's Investigational New Drug (IND) submission to the US Food and Drug Administration (FDA), and the IND was cleared by the FDA in the first quarter of 2025.
Esco Aster is also providing technical services for exploratory exosome loading feasibility studies based on Shine-On's instruction.
ShineOn's proprietary product, SOB100, is a potential first-in-class HLA-G targeted exosome platform for drug development.
