Transgene and Hypertrust Patient Data Care Announce Successful Go-Live of the World’s First Blockchain Solution for Clinical Trials of Personalized Healthcare


Regulatory News:

Transgene (Paris:TNG) and Hypertrust Patient Data Care today announced as a world premiere the first productive blockchain solution for clinical trials of personalized healthcare, leveraging the Hypertrust X-Chain for Clinical Trials product. The cloud-based solution monitors and orchestrates the supply chain processes of Transgene’s AI-enhanced TG4050 individualized therapeutic vaccine based on the myvac® technology, against ovarian, head and neck cancer providing an immutable audit trail throughout the treatment process.

The innovative collaboration between Transgene and Hypertrust marks a milestone in the ongoing fight against cancer. The blockchain-based Hypertrust X-Chain solution supports Transgene’s personalized immunotherapies comprehensively, ensuring a trustworthy process in the background of the medical treatment. All emerging personalized treatments have a massive need for trustworthy and decentralized solutions, due to the strong cross-company collaborative nature of the production process.

Transgene’s first individualized immunotherapy product candidate is based on the myvac® technology. It is currently evaluated in two ongoing clinical trials, including patients in Europe and in the USA. This virus-based therapeutic vaccine encodes neoantigens (patient-specific mutations) that are identified and selected using state-of-the-art artificial intelligence capabilities. myvac®-based products are designed to stimulate the patient’s immune response, to recognize and destroy tumor cells based on their own mutations. This individualized immunotherapy is developed specifically for each patient.

“We have set up multiple collaborations around the world to allow each patient’s anticancer therapy to be designed in a timely manner. Blockchain technologies are a perfect tool to ensure that the patient’s genetic data are protected while ensuring that all the interventions of our partners are both smooth and tracked. We were very happy to collaborate with Hypertrust and together set up this novel process, demonstrating once again Transgene’s ability to be at the forefront of innovation”, commented Eric Quéméneur, Pharm.D., Ph.D., Executive VP, Chief Scientific Officer of Transgene.

“We are very proud to present with our partner Transgene the world’s first productive blockchain solution for clinical trials of personalized healthcare. The combination of Transgene’s innovative and AI-enhanced TG4050 cancer vaccine, combined with the security and workflow orchestration features of our platform provides the optimum support for a highly personalized cancer treatment process”, says Andreas Göbel, CEO of Hypertrust Patient Data Care.

Especially in clinical trials of personalized healthcare there is an essential need for an immutable audit trail, which is created by different parties throughout the supply and production process. Blockchain technologies bring a high level of trust, as it allows a total transparency on how the data were modified throughout the process and provide additional protection in an age of increasing cyberthreats.

Hypertrust X-Chain for Clinical Trials by Hypertrust Patient Data Care is a market-leading solution for the orchestration and documentation of clinical trials for personalized healthcare. It ensures the chain of identity and custody for personalized treatments in the context of clinical trials. The decentralized platform leverages blockchain technology, to provide closed-loop supply chain monitoring and orchestration, based on a workflow process definition. The solution provides an immutable and tamper-proof audit trail of all recorded data throughout the treatment. Also, it allows the migration towards the commercial scale solution “X-Chain for Commercialized Treatments”.
