Updated MDNA11 Clinical Trial Results in Advanced Solid Tumors Presented
“The most important message from today’s data is that they absolutely add to the differentiation of MDNA11’s mechanism relative to other next-generation IL-2s and reinforce the consistency of its anti-tumor activity in late stage cancers refractory to checkpoint inhibitors,” said Fahar Merchant, Ph.D., President and CEO of Medicenna. “With durable responses in multiple late stage metastatic tumors, including pancreatic, breast, colorectal, endometrial, bladder, anal cancer and melanoma, it is difficult for us not to conclude that MDNA11 demonstrates meaningful efficacy. The recent announcement of the NEO-CYT trial sponsored by Fondazione Melanoma, in pre-surgery patients with high-risk melanoma, provides external validation of our approach and adds to our conviction that MDNA11 is potentially a de-risked drug candidate for earlier stage cancer patients harbouring healthier immune systems. We look forward to sharing new and mature data in the coming weeks and months from the ABILITY-1 study, new data from the NEO-CYT study and non-human primate data with MDNA113, our targeted and conditionally activated anti-PD1-IL-2 BiSKIT which is anticipated to enter its first in human study later next year.”
