Coupled with the recent announcement of a partnership with the Serum Institute of India (SII) for BCG availability, this provides the Company with a significant initial supply of ANKTIVA for commercial and clinical trial use in advance of the full operation of the Company’s own drug substance and fill-finish manufacturing plants in California and New York.

Since the Company’s merger with NantKwest in 2021, ImmunityBio has made significant capital investments in personnel, plants, and equipment to ensure global capacity of ANKTIVA drug product for both the commercial launch, as well as clinical trials in bladder cancer and other tumor types in its pipeline. Both drug substance (DS) and drug product (DP) facilities are nearing completion to ensure sufficient capacity and multiple GMP manufacturing sites for ANKTIVA in its approved indication, as well as for clinical trials and future indications.

“When we began the development of ANKTIVA and enlisted our contract manufacturer, we believed that the manufacture of a biologic as complicated as ANKTIVA was best served by having multiple sites of manufacturing, including in-house capacity and external partners,” said Patrick Soon-Shiong, M.D., Executive Chairman and Global Chief Scientific and Medical Officer at ImmunityBio. “Our investment since 2021 in our facilities, together with the agreement entered into with the Serum Institute of India (SII) ensures that both ANKTIVA and BCG could be available at scale on a global basis.”
