Enabling the future development of critical
therapeutics, Aldevron customers now have access to TriLink’s
CleanCap mRNA capping technology for non-commercial use
TriLink BioTechnologies (TriLink®), a Maravai® LifeSciences
company (NASDAQ: MRVI) and global provider of life science reagents
and services, has signed a non-exclusive License and Supply
Agreement with Aldevron, a leading, global Contract Development and
Manufacturing Organization (CDMO) providing high-quality plasmid
DNA, RNA, and proteins for research, therapeutics, and diagnostics.
With this agreement with Aldevron, TriLink strengthens its
objective to provide greater access to CleanCap® mRNA capping
technologies to those developing critical mRNA-based therapeutics
and vaccines.
According to the terms of the agreement, TriLink will supply its
patented CleanCap® M6, CleanCap® AG 3’OMe, CleanCap® AG, and
CleanCap® AU cap analogs for use in Aldevron’s mRNA development and
manufacturing services, from pre-clinical through Phase III
programs. CleanCap® technology produces optimal 5’Cap structures
with over 95% efficiency, creating a co-transcriptional capping
solution that improves mRNA yield and process time when compared to
legacy capping methods.
“CleanCap technology is accelerating programs through drug
development milestones and has been the capping technology of
choice for mRNA constructs in 350+ preclinical and clinical
programs,” shared Becky Buzzeo, Chief Commercial Officer, Maravai.
“We’re excited to offer our innovative capping solutions to
Aldevron and its manufacturing customers.”
Since its launch in 2017, TriLink’s CleanCap® capping technology
has continued to advance the mRNA capping industry and is used in
the majority of all approved COVID-19 mRNA and saRNA vaccines. In
May 2023, TriLink introduced its most robust CleanCap® analog to
date, CleanCap® M6, with studies indicating increased mRNA
expression by more than 30% versus enzymatic capping methods.
Aldevron, based in Fargo, ND, is a leader in advancing
biological science. Their custom development and manufacturing
services provide scientists with essential components to accelerate
research and breakthrough discoveries.
