“We are excited to demonstrate the versatility of our Superkines and the potential of our next generation BiSKITs platform, particularly in “cold” tumors that remain a therapeutic challenge for immunotherapy,” said Fahar Merchant, Ph.D., President and CEO of Medicenna. “We believe that our dual-functioning BiSKIT candidates, such as MDNA223, are more potent and selective and may have an increased capacity to induce superior CD8+ T cell responses against tumor cells. These data demonstrate the potential of IL-2 BiSKITs either as monotherapy or in combination with other treatment modalities including cell-based therapies where better effector T cells are a pre-requisite for improving patient outcomes.”
MDNA223 is a fusion of Medicenna’s IL-2 Superkine with an anti-PD1 antibody, designed to maximize anti-tumor response by concurrently facilitating IL-2R pathway stimulation and PD1 checkpoint blockade on the same effector immune cell. The poster presentation includes preclinical data demonstrating that the MDNA223 BiSKIT:
The sum of encouraging preclinical data on MDNA223 highlights the potential of Medicenna’s BiSKIT platform to broadly delivery effective therapy to otherwise challenging-to-treat ‘cold’ tumors. Copies of the poster will be posted to the “Events and Presentations” page of Medicenna’s website following the conclusion of the meeting.
About BiSKITs and MDNA223BiSKITs are novel Bifunctional SuperKines for ImmunoTherapy designed to have dual functionality within a single molecule with the potential of improving patient outcomes where other immunotherapies have failed to be effective. One example is MDNA223, an IL-2 Superkine fused to an anti-PD1 antibody. MDNA223 is a BiSKIT designed to activate cancer-killing immune cells via the IL-2 receptor while simultaneously preventing their exhaustion by blocking PD-1 signalling. Combining these two functions into a single molecule allows us to simultaneously modulate both pathways on the same immune cells, also known as cis-targeting.
About MedicennaMedicenna is a clinical-stage immunotherapy company focused on developing novel, highly selective versions of IL-2, IL-4 and IL-13 Superkines and first in class class-empowered superkines. Medicenna’s long-acting IL-2 Superkine, MDNA11, is a next-generation IL-2 with superior CD122 (IL-2 receptor beta) binding without CD25 (IL-2 receptor alpha) affinity thereby preferentially stimulating cancer-killing effector T cells and NK cells. Medicenna’s IL-4 Empowered Superkine, bizaxofusp (formerly MDNA55), has been studied in 5 clinical trials, including a Phase 2b trial for recurrent GBM, the most common and uniformly fatal form of brain cancer. Bizaxofusp has obtained FastTrack and Orphan Drug status from the FDA and FDA/EMA, respectively. Medicenna’s early-stage BiSKITs™ program (Bifunctional SuperKine ImmunoTherapies) is designed to enhance the ability of Superkines to treat immunologically “cold” tumors.
