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.”

Dr. Michael Ge, CEO of Kelun-Biotech said, “We are delighted to see the acceptance of the fifth indication application for sac-TMT. Compared to immunotherapy alone, the ADC combination with KEYTRUDA® as first-line treatment for PD-L1-positive NSCLC has achieved not only positive results in PFS, but also a trend toward benefit
“We are excited to work with Merck to advance this promising investigational combination in RAS-driven cancers,” said Jonathan E. Lim, M.D., Erasca’s chairman, CEO, and co-founder. “RAS mutations activate the RAS/MAPK pathway and promote an immunosuppressive environment. Non-clinical data suggest that targeting the pathway with ERAS-0015 may complement PD-1 blockade

“The depth, durability, and consistency of responses observed across both the total population and BTKi-treated subsets underscore iopofosine’s potential as a meaningful new treatment option in WM and differentiate it from currently available therapies,” said Jarrod Longcor, chief operating officer of Cellectar Biosciences. “With the completion of at least 12-month
