Vidac Pharma announces a Research Collaboration and License Agreement with Sheba Medical Center on modification of Tumor microenvironment (TME) induced by its New Chemical Entities in order to facilitate Immunological treatment of Tumors (CAR-T treatment). One of the problems encountered in these treatments is the Lactate producing Hyper Glycolysis at the TME an unfavorable environment for CAR-T treatment. The new Drug candidates of Vidac Pharma reverse the Warburg effect i.e. the Hyper Glycolysis causing Lactate accumulation.
