TuHURA Biosciences Completes Acquisition of Kineta
“While TuHURA’s IFx-2.0 is being investigated for its potential to overcome primary resistance to checkpoint inhibitors in Merkel cell carcinoma, the acquisition of VISTA expands TuHURA’s pipeline with a Phase 2 ready drug candidate, TBS-2025, which TuHURA believes has the potential to overcome acquired resistance to cancer immunotherapy,” stated James Bianco, M.D., President and Chief Executive Officer of TuHURA. “The acquisition provides for synergies across both TuHURA’s therapeutic focus as well as with TuHURA’s antibody drug conjugate (ADC) technology. Not only can TBS-2025 be administered as the intact mAb alone or in combination with other therapeutics, we are also investigating the possibility of it being conjugated to a Delta Opioid Receptor inhibitor(s) resulting in a potential immunomodulatory, bi-functional, and bi-specific ADC targeting myeloid derived suppressor cells (MDSCs) in the tumor microenvironment (TME).”
