Why using red blood cells as a vehicle for therapeutic agents?
 
Red blood cells (RBC) are a natural and unique vehicle for drugs due to their natural biocompatibility, their total biodegradability and non- immunogenicity.
 
They can be exploited as vehicles:
 

• either to limit the toxicity and extend the action of the therapeutic compound entrapped: LONG CIRCULATION ACTION

• or for their ability to  be taken up by immune cells in specific organ (liver, spleen and bone marrow): DELIVERY SYSTEM

Erythrocytes are the most frequently injected cells in the world and are submitted to very strict rules.
 
Encapsulation of therapeutic molecules into erythrocytes is performed using the patients’ own blood or donor’s blood.
 
Thanks to its unique technology, ERYtech Pharma is able to load RBC with therapeutic molecules while keeping RBC natural properties. Products based on ERYtech Pharma technology are safe and offer innovative therapies for critical unmet clinical needs.
