  • NX Development Corp.

NX Development Corp. (NXDC) is a life sciences company based in Lexington, KY dedicated to the development of ALA HCl for tumor visualization. NXDC is a wholly-owned subsidiary of photonamic GmbH & Co. KG (Head office: Pinneberg, Germany; ""PHN""). PHN is the licensor of GleolanTM (aminolevulinic acid HCl [ALA HCl]) to NXDC. The companies share an eight-year working relationship and are wholly-owned by SBI Holdings Inc. (Tokyo, Japan).

  • GLEOLAN

GLEOLAN (ALA HCl) is an FDA-approved optical imaging agent indicated in patients with glioma (suspected World Health Organization Grades III or IV on preoperative imaging) as an adjunct for the visualization of malignant tissue during surgery. Exogenous administration of ALA HCl leads to accumulation of its metabolite protoporphyrin IX (PpIX) in tumor cells. Under an operating microscope adapted with a specific blue emitting light source and filters, tumor tissue is visualized as red fluorescence. Tissue lacking sufficient PpIX concentrations appears blue. Because of its unique mechanism-of-action, GLEOLAN may allow neurosurgeons to see malignant tissue during surgery under blue light that they may not see under standard white light.

Glioma Pipeline Therapies

  • Bristol-Myers Squibb

The Bristol-Myers Squibb Company (BMS) is an American multinational pharmaceutical company. Headquartered in New York City, BMS is one of the world's largest pharmaceutical companies and consistently ranks on the Fortune 500 list of the largest U.S. corporations. Bristol Myers Squibb manufactures prescription pharmaceuticals and biologics in several therapeutic areas, including cancer, HIV/AIDS, cardiovascular disease, diabetes, hepatitis, rheumatoid arthritis, and psychiatric disorders.

  • Opdivo

Opdivo is a programmed death-1 (PD-1) immune checkpoint inhibitor that is designed to uniquely harness the body’s own immune system to help restore anti-tumor immune response. By harnessing the body’s own immune system to fight cancer, Opdivo has become an important treatment option across multiple cancers. Opdivo’s leading global development program is based on Bristol Myers Squibb’s scientific expertise in the field of Immuno-Oncology, and includes a broad range of clinical trials across all phases, including Phase 3, in a variety of tumor types. To date, the Opdivo clinical development program has treated more than 35,000 patients. The Opdivo trials have contributed to gaining a deeper understanding of the potential role of biomarkers in patient care, particularly regarding how patients may benefit from Opdivo across the continuum of PD-L1 expression.

  • Orbus Therapeutics

Orbus Therapeutics Inc. is a late-stage, private biopharmaceutical company that is dedicated to developing products that treat rare diseases for which there are few, if any, effective therapies. The company is focused and passionate about bringing a more positive outcome to patients facing life threatening or significantly life altering diseases.

  • Eflornithine

Eflornithine, also known as a-diflurormethylornithine (DFMO), selectively targets and irreversibly inhibits ornithine decarboxylase (ODC), an enzyme essential for polyamine synthesis, and DNA and RNA function. Unlike multi-targeted tyrosine kinase inhibitors on the market or in development, eflornithine targets only one specific enzyme, ODC. In animal studies, eflornithine has been shown to inhibit the growth of malignant tumors, including intra cerebral mid- and high-grade gliomas. Eflornithine administration has also been shown to potentiate the anti-tumor activity of other chemotherapy agents. In single-arm and controlled, randomized clinical trials, eflornithine oral solution increased survival in patients with both newly diagnosed and recurrent anaplastic glioma. The primary and reversible side effects of eflornithine were diarrhea and hearing impairment.

  • Northwest Biotherapeutics

Northwest Biotherapeutics is a biotechnology company focused on developing personalized immunotherapy products designed to treat cancers more effectively than current treatments, without toxicities of the kind associated with chemotherapies, and on a cost-effective basis, in both North America and Europe. The Company has a broad platform technology for DCVax® dendritic cell-based vaccines.

  • DCVax-L

DCVax® is a platform technology that uses activated dendritic cells (the master cells of the immune system), and is designed to reinvigorate and educate the immune system to attack cancers. Unlike conventional cancer drugs, which use one active agent to hit one target on the cancer, DCVax uses many active agents to hit many targets on the cancer. For DCVax-L, the monocytes are differentiated into dendritic cells, and matured, activated and loaded with biomarkers (“antigens”) from the patient’s own tumor tissue (which is collected in a simple kit at the time of surgery to remove the tumor). The loading of biomarkers into the dendritic cells “educates” them about what the immune system needs to attack. The activated, educated dendritic cells are then isolated with very high purity and comprise the DCVax-L personalized vaccine. DCVax -L is administered to the patient through a simple intra-dermal injection in the upper arm, similar to a flu shot. The dendritic cells then convey the tumor biomarker information to the rest of the immune system agents (T cells, B cells and others), as “marching orders,” and the immune system agents then fan out through the body searching for anything with these biomarkers and attacking it.

  • Medicenna Therapeutics

Medicenna is a clinical stage immunotherapy company focused on the development of novel, highly selective versions of IL-2, IL-4 and IL-13 Superkines and first in 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 early-stage BiSKITs™ program, (Bifunctional SuperKine ImmunoTherapies) is designed to enhance the ability of Superkines to treat immunologically “cold” tumors. Medicenna’s IL-4 Empowered Superkine, 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.

  • MDNA55

MDNA55 is an Empowered Superkine developed as a therapeutic for recurrent glioblastoma multiforme (rGBM), a uniformly fatal form of brain cancer. By using a highly specific IL-4 Superkine as the vehicle to deliver a potent bacterial toxin to the tumor cells, MDNA55 has the potential to purge bulk tumors and disrupt their supporting networks, while reactivating the immune system to tackle cancer. MDNA55 is designed to be a molecular trojan horse. It is a genetic fusion of two molecules: a circularly permuted IL-4 Superkine and the catalytic domain of the pseudomonas exotoxin A. Genetic fusion allows MDNA55 to harness the selectivity of the Superkine for cancers that overexpress the target IL-4 receptor (IL-4R) and deliver the cell-killing toxin directly into the tumor, its microenvironment and cancer stem cells. Since the IL-4 receptor is not found in a healthy brain and the exotoxin is only active in the cancer cell cytoplasm, this helps ensure that healthy cells are unaffected. When MDNA55 binds the target IL-4R, it is swallowed inside the tumor cell through a process called endocytosis. Once inside the tumor, proteases cleave the drug and activate the catalytic domain of the exotoxin to begin the process of apoptosis (cell death) involving a protein called elongation factor-2.

  • Adastra Pharmaceuticals

Adastra Pharmaceuticals Inc. is an innovative, private, clinical-stage biopharmaceutical company committed to providing responsible solutions to advance patient care in oncology. The company’s vision is to identify, develop and deliver to patients important new therapies for diseases with significant unmet need. Adastra possesses a rich history of institutional and academic collaboration, including ongoing clinical research programs with the National Cancer Institute (NCI) and the European Organisation for Research and Treatment of Cancer (EORTC).

  • Zotiraciclib

Zotiraciclib (TG02) is a potent oral spectrum selective kinase inhibitor for the treatment of cancer. It was discovered in Singapore by S*BIO Pte Ltd and falls under the category of small molecule macrocycles. It crosses the blood brain barrier and acts by depleting Myc through the inhibition of cyclin-dependent kinase 9 (CDK9). Zotiraciclib has been granted orphan drug designation by the US Food and Drug Administration (FDA) and the European Medicines Agency (EMA) for the treatment of gliomas. As of January 2020, zotiraciclib is being evaluated by Adastra Pharmaceuticals in two separate Phase 1b clinical trials for the treatment of glioblastoma multiforme (GBM). Zotiracicib is also being developed as a potential treatment for diffuse intrinsic pontine glioma (DIPG), a rare pediatric cancer. Both forms of brain cancer are characterized by Myc overexpression. It is currently being investigated in Phase I/II clinical trial to treat patients with Recurrent High-Grade Gliomas with Isocitrate Dehydrogenase 1 or 2 (IDH1 or IDH2) Mutations.

  • Onxeo

Onxeo is a French clinical-stage biotechnology company designing and developing novel oncology drugs targeting tumor DNA-binding functions. The company’s therapeutic strategy focuses on fighting tumor resistance to treatments which poses ever-greater therapeutic challenges, further more so in aggressive or rare cancers. The approach is based upon unique mechanisms of action on DNA Damage Response and immune response and focuses on bringing first-in-class and disruptive compounds from translational research to proof-of-concept in man in cancer indications with high unmet needs.

  • AsiDNA

A first-in-class product candidate in the leading field of DNA Damage Response (DDR), AsiDNA disrupts and exhausts the ability of tumor cells to repair their DNA by acting upstream of multiple repair pathways. AsiDNA and its technology originate from three major French academic centers: Curie Institute, CNRS, and the Museum of Natural History. It aims to offer new treatment options for patients suffering from various types of cancer. AsiDNA is a short double-stranded DNA fragment (oligonucleotide) that acts as a decoy, mimicking double-strand breaks in the DNA of the tumor cell. AsiDNA molecules trigger false DNA break signals to activate and attract DNA repair proteins, which prevents their recruitment to the site of actual DNA damage. As a result, damages to tumor cells’ DNA remain unrepaired.
