This document summarizes a presentation given by Jacopo Franchini, Business Development Manager at TTFactor S.r.l., at Laboratori dal Basso in Lecce, Italy on November 7, 2014. The presentation provided an overview of TTFactor and the research centers it works with, including the European Institute of Oncology (IEO), FIRC Institute of Molecular Oncology (IFOM), and Centro Cardiologico Monzino. It described the vision and activities of these research centers, which include clinical cancer treatment, basic cancer research, and cardiovascular research. It also discussed the long process of drug development and reasons for industry and academia collaboration, such as sharing costs and risks.

“…erosion in confidence in the industry and its products …
…may be moving closer to a pharmaceutical ‘ice age’ and the
potential extinction of the industry, at least as it exists today…”
“…Wall Street and consultants argue that shareholders will be best served
by Big Pharma ending all early-stage drug research entirely..
due to limits on their internal capacity to innovate ……to license in new
compounds from smaller biotech-style companies, or from academia…“

TTFactor Method of antigen loading
for immunotherapy
IFOM-IEO-Campus, Milan, Italy
Lastupdate02.2011
duction is in preparation for Phase I;
the clinical trial in melanoma patients
is planned for June-July 2011.
Applicability
New method to generate potent DC-based
tumor vaccines
• Adjuvant treatment (to elimate mini-
mal residual disease) for the moment in
melanoma but it can be extended to other
diseases
• Metastatic melanoma
The European Institute of Oncology (IEO)
is available for clinical support, hosting
several studies on melanoma.
Opportunity
We are looking to partner this program for
further development with companies in
immuno-therapeutics and tumor vaccine.

Introduction
Dendritic cells (DCs) are key players in the
activation of T cells. DCs are endowed
with the ability to present exogenous
antigens that have not been generated
within DCs for the activation of T cells, via
the cross-presentation pathway. Cross-
presentation is required for the initiation
of effective anti-tumor T cell responses
and the repertoire of presented peptides is
crucial to activate T cells that will recognize
and kill tumor cells. However, the antigen
presentation machinery, and in particular
the proteasome, differs between tumor
cells and DCs. A major drawback is that
DCs could process and present peptides
that are different from those presented by
tumor cells, thus initiating a tumor-specific
response that will not recognize the tumor.
Brief description
We show that bacteria can be successfully
used to induce tumor to DC communica-
tion via gap-Junctions allowing cross-pre-
sentation of tumor antigens and effective
activation of tumor specific immune re-
sponses. Salmonella typhimurium infection
facilitates the cross-presentation of tumor
antigens and its exploitation can generate
potent DC-based tumor vaccines.
Thus, we have developed a new
method of antigen cross presentation
for immunotherapy, that has proven
very effective in mice (see figure).
Mice vaccinated with DCs loaded with
bacteria-treated tumor cells are fully
protected against challenge with the
highly aggressive B16 melanoma. This
mechanism has been confirmed on hu-
man cells in vitro and is under in vivo
validation. The protocol for GMP pro-

What
I
like
the
most
of
my
job
and
which
are
the
challenges…
Every
day
I
learn
something
new
both
from
science
and
from
business
You need both an eye for
details and an open mind
for the big picture
I enjoy working in a
nimble ad streamlined
team with clear
objectives
It is hard to estimate
the value of an early
technology still far
away from the
market
It gives me a cross view
of science
We have to keep
everyone’s
expectations realistic
I love exploring the
unknown and being part of
discoveries that will
contribute to new
therapies
You
work
under
pressure,
managing
many
different
tasks
whilst
respec3ng
deadlines
