May 05, 2025 — ScaleReady, in collaboration with Wilson Wolf Manufacturing, Bio-Techne Corporation, and CellReady, is pleased to announce that GenomeFrontier Therapeutics has been awarded a $100,000 G-Rex® Grant to support exploratory studies aimed at enhancing the manufacturing of GF-CART01, GenomeFrontier’s first-in-class, non-viral autologous CAR T cell therapy, which is currently under evaluation for treatment of B cell malignancies in a Phase 1 clinical trial (NCT06703892).
G-Rex® technology is incorporated into the qCART™-based manufacturing process for GF-CART01. qCART™ is a proprietary flexible non-viral platform for the development and manufacture of multiplex CAR T cells that supports integration of large gene payloads, including multiple CARs, modulatory elements and/or safety switches. The process yields high-quality CAR T cell products, which feature enriched T stem cell memory (T-SCM) populations, balanced CD4/CD8 ratios, and minimal exhaustion and senescence gene expression. This platform for adaptable non-viral delivery of complex gene payloads with precise control of T cell function is especially well-suited for generating therapies for solid tumors.
“We are excited to see our G-Rex technology utilized by GenomeFrontier to produce cutting-edge, multiplex CAR T cells with promise for treatment of devastating cancers, including solid tumors,” said John Wilson, founder and CEO of Wilson Wolf. “We are eager to assist GenomeFrontier quickly establish a highly cost-effective manufacturing process that can easily scale all the way to commercial applications.”
“We highly value the G-Rex product, as it is critical to the manufacture of our GF-CART01 therapy,” said Dr. Sareina Wu, Founder and CEO of GenomeFrontier. “We’re also grateful to ScaleReady for supporting continued enhancements to deliver long-term value to patients.”
G-Rex technology plays a key role in the manufacture of GF-CART01, enabling robust and scalable cell expansion under semi-closed conditions. The grant will facilitate improvements that include the transition toward a fully closed, automated manufacturing process, further enhancing the clinical potential and manufacturing scalability of GF-CART01.
In addition to GF-CART01 for B cell malignancies, GenomeFrontier’s pipeline includes GF-CART02 for multiple myeloma and GF-CART03, a multi-modular, armored CAR T therapy targeting a wide-range of hard-to-treat solid tumors. This award will help GenomeFrontier to create a robust and adaptable manufacturing process that can be utilized in the development of safe, effective, and accessible virus-free multiplex CAR/TCR T cell therapies for patients with critical unmet medical needs.
