Evox Therapeutics Expands Existing Exosome Patent Portfolio With Further Grant Covering Exosomes for RNA Therapeutics

OXFORD, England, July 15, 2020 /PRNewswire/ -- Evox Therapeutics Ltd ('Evox' or the 'Company'), a leading exosome therapeutics company, is pleased to announce that the Company has been granted a key patent by the United States Patent and Trademark Office (USPTO). This newly issued patent adds to the expanding foundational patent estate held by Evox and further reinforces the Company's leading position within the field of exosome-mediated RNA drug delivery.

The recently issued US patent (U.S. Patent 10,704,047) provides broad coverage for pharmaceutical compositions comprising exosomes containing nucleic acid-based therapeutics, such as RNAi agents and antisense oligonucleotides, which have been loaded by electroporation.

This is another significant development that gives Evox dominant coverage in exosome-mediated RNA delivery, as well as key steps in the manufacturing process."
