A technology to help treat pediatric cancer

Una tecnología para ayudar a tratar el cáncer infantil

Expansión. Madrid

. La tecnología de este proyecto de la biotecnológica Gate2Brain, una spin-off del Instituto de Investigación Biomédica (IRB Barcelona), la Universidad de Barcelona y el Institut de Recerca Sant Joan de Déu-Hospital Sant Joan de Déu, nació para cubrir una necesidad no cubierta, mejorar el transporte de fármacos al cerebro.“Existen candidatos a fármaco muy prometedores, pero para el 98% de ellos la existencia de la barrera hematoencefálica es el cuello de botella que dificulta su llegada al cerebro y la capacidad de curar”, afirma Meritxell Teixidó, investigadora del Hospital Sant Joan de Déu-Fundació Sant Joan de Déu y CEO y CSO de Gate2Brain.

Seleccionada por la Fundación La Caixa para recibir ayudas de la convocatoria CaixaResearch Consolidate 2021, esta tecnología representa “una oportunidad para superar esta barrera y llevar estos fármacos hasta el lugar donde deben actuar”, señala Teixidó. “Las farmacéuticas están en plena búsqueda de tecnologías como la nuestra para sus candidatos a fármacos que necesitan una mejora de transporte”, asegura.

Desarrollo

Tras diez tesis doctorales codirigidas, señala, “desarrollamos y patentamos las tres familias de péptidos lanzadera que constituyen la plataforma tecnológica Gate2Brain, que a modo de tractor son capaces de llevar fármacos que, como si fueran remolques, no pueden llegar al sistema nervioso central solos. Durante quince años ha ido creciendo en mi la idea de acompañar la tecnología en su camino al mercado ”

Y destaca como Gate2Brain se creó en julio de 2020 en casa “donde estábamos confinadas, con un núcleo de tres emprendedoras que sueñan ser parte del cambio que nos gustaría ver en el mundo, mejorando la calidad de vida de las personas que sufren una enfermedad del sistema nervioso central y sus familias”.

Fase preclínica

Actualmente, su producto estrella, G2G-002, se encuentra en fase preclínica no regulatoria en animales. “Escogimos como primera indicación un tumor cerebral pediátrico sin cura a día de hoy, que se puede beneficiar de la tecnología Gate2Brain para encontrar una terapia efectiva que llegue mejor al cerebro y luche contra el tumor. Lo estamos haciendo de la mano del Hospital Pediátrico Sant Joan de Déu en Barcelona”, dice la CEO y CSO de Gate2Brain.

Su principal deseo es llegar a las fases clínicas en tres años. “Tenemos por delante tres años intensos para llegar al ensayo clínico. Este será un punto de inflexión para el producto pudiendo entonces licenciarse para que una farmacéutica realice las ultimas etapas hasta el mercado”, afirma Meritxell Teixidó.
