Aerodynamic retrofits move from trial to fleet standard

Under the new agreement, Norwegian will install VCT Finlets across its entire 737-800 fleet, following in the footsteps of early adopters such as Avelo Airlines, SunExpress and the U.S. Air Force. The deal marks a pivot from pilot programs to full-fleet deployment, signaling growing confidence among operators that incremental aerodynamic improvements can deliver material savings at scale.

SHERIDAN, WYOMING - December 3, 2025 - AGC Biologics is expanding its Cell Line Development Center of Excellence through a new partnership with ATUM, integrating the Leap-In Transposase® expression platform to help biopharma developers move monoclonal antibodies and complex next-generation biologics into the clinic faster and more cost-effectively.

New options for faster, more flexible cell line development

As pressure grows to launch high-value biologics at lower cost, drug sponsors are looking for cell line development (CLD) solutions that combine speed, robustness and scalability. AGC Biologics' collaboration with ATUM adds a modern transposase-based expression platform to its CLD toolkit, creating a menu of fit-for-purpose options for standard monoclonals, multi-specific antibodies and other complex molecules.

SHERIDAN, WYOMING - December 3, 2025 - AGC Biologics has signed a new manufacturing agreement with AAVantgarde Bio to produce dual-vector AAV gene therapies for Stargardt disease and retinitis pigmentosa, positioning its BravoAAV™ platform at the center of next-generation treatments for inherited retinal disorders with no approved therapies.

Dual-vector AAV platform targets previously "untreatable" retinal genes

Under the deal, AGC Biologics will provide GMP manufacturing for AAVantgarde's two clinical-stage candidates: AAVB-039 for Stargardt disease, the most common inherited form of macular degeneration in children and young adults, and AAVB-081 for retinitis pigmentosa caused by Usher syndrome type 1B. Both programs are in Phase 1/2 trials, with AAVB-039 being tested in the U.S., UK and Europe, and AAVB-081 representing the first-ever dual AAV gene therapy in an ocular indication.

SHERIDAN, WYOMING - December 3, 2025 - AGC Biologics has signed a strategic development and manufacturing agreement with Repair Biotechnologies to advance a novel mRNA therapeutic aimed at rapidly stabilizing and shrinking atherosclerotic plaques, addressing what both partners describe as the leading single cause of human mortality worldwide.

Targeting plaque biology in a high-burden cardiovascular market

The collaboration focuses on an mRNA-based therapy designed to stabilize and reduce atherosclerotic plaques in major blood vessels, directly tackling the root pathology behind heart attacks and strokes. Rupture of unstable plaque and subsequent thrombotic events account for an estimated 27% of all human deaths, underscoring the strategic importance of any technology capable of reversing or halting plaque progression.

SHERIDAN, WYOMING - December 3, 2025 - AGC Biologics is partnering with public benefit company Rarity PBC to bring a potentially life-saving gene therapy for Adenosine Deaminase Severe Combined Immunodeficiency (ADA-SCID) through commercial manufacturing and toward FDA approval, underscoring how CDMO collaborations are becoming central to translating academic breakthroughs into scalable rare disease treatments.

From transformational trials to a U.S. commercial pathway

Under the new agreement, AGC Biologics will provide end-to-end development and GMP manufacturing for Rarity's ex vivo autologous gene therapy RDP-101. If approved, RDP-101 would become the first gene therapy commercially available in the United States to reverse ADA-SCID, a rare inherited immunodeficiency that leaves infants dangerously exposed to severe, recurrent infections.
