China1·Shenzhen, December 2025) – Shenzhen Cell Valley Biomedical Co., Ltd. officially announced: The company's submitted NK Cell-Derived Exosomes have been formally accepted for Drug Master File (DMF) filing by the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA), with the filing number DMF043001, classified as Type II DMF.
The U.S. FDA has issued an official confirmation letter, marking that Shenzhen Cell Valley has become the first company globally to obtain DMF filing for NK cell-derived exosomes. It also represents a groundbreaking achievement as the first time a Chinese enterprise has completed U.S. DMF registration in this cutting-edge novel drug delivery vector field.
Previously, Cell Valley had already obtained DMF filing for exosomes derived from human umbilical cord mesenchymal stem cells (UC-MSCs) (see details: Good News | Shenzhen Cell Valley Exosomes Obtain FDA DMF Filing). This milestone achievement of obtaining filing for NK cell-derived exosomes signifies that Shenzhen Cell Valley's exosome manufacturing system, quality assurance system, and clinical-grade production capabilities have met the U.S. FDA registration requirements, officially entering the international compliance sequence available for reference in global clinical trials and drug registration applications.
01/ Industry Significance: World's First NK Exosome DMF Lays the Regulatory Foundation for Next-Generation Biologics
Exosomes are recognized as the core carriers of next-generation drug delivery systems (next-gen DDS), and NK cell-derived exosomes are regarded as the most groundbreaking cutting-edge direction in the global cell and gene therapy (CGT) industry due to their inherent immune activity, anti-tumor potential, ability to cross the blood-brain barrier and room for engineering modification.
As the world’s first NK cell-derived exosome product to secure FDA DMF filing, this registration will:
1
Provide a globally standardized exosome raw material platform for biopharmaceutical enterprises worldwide that can be directly cited and applied for IND/NDA/BLA filings
2
Accelerate R&D in fields such as exosome-based drugs, RNA delivery, immunotherapy, anti-aging, and regenerative medicine
3
Promote the global CGT (Cell and Gene Therapy) industry's transition from the "cell era" to the "extracellular vesicles (EVs) era."
02/ Shenzhen Cell Valley: From China to the World,Building a World-leading Underlying Platform for CGT
Shenzhen Cell Valley has consistently achieved breakthroughs in multiple key areas in recent years:
1
World's First: Obtained FDA DMF filing for NK cell-derived exosomes (DMF 043001)
2
3
Established China's leading full-process GMP exosome manufacturing platform (R&D — Scale-up — QC — Lyophilization — Transportation)
4
Deployed a number of exosome products in Hong Kong, the Middle East, Europe for investigator-initiated trials (IIT) and overseas collaborative research
5
Achieved globally leading, independently controllable status in several core CGT technologies (exosomes, eVLP, CAR-NK, MSC)
Company Statements
Professor Wang Jianxun, Chief Scientist of Shenzhen Cell Valley, stated:
"The approval of the NK exosome DMF is not only a breakthrough for Shenzhen Cell Valley but also a significant leap for China's CGT industry. We will continue to promote the global implementation of exosomes as a next-generation drug delivery system, benefiting more patients."
Professor Shi Yuanyuan, Chairman of Shenzhen Cell Valley, stated:
"From Shenzhen to the world, Shenzhen Cell Valley will continue to deliver internationally standardized cell and exosome products, accelerate collaborations with global pharmaceutical companies and research institutions, and jointly promote the next-generation biomedicine revolution."
