We have a comprehensive intellectual property portfolio for imaging and treatment of solid tumors to improve patient outcomes.
We have completed a First-in-Human (FIH) trial using our antibody, called Miltuximab®.
We have completed a first in human trial using our antibody, called Miltuximab
developing solid tumor therapeutics.
Miltuximab® for Therapeutic & Imaging Applications.
Our patented antibodies target Glypican-1 (GPC-1), a protein overexpressed in prostate, pancreatic, bladder, glioblastoma, esophageal and ovarian cancers.
We are examining multiple mechanisms of action including:
– Radioimmunotherapy
– Bispecific antibodies
– Immune cell engagement and activation
We have now completed a First-in-Human trial in Australia using Miltuximab®, our anti-GPC-1 monoclonal antibody (ANZCTR registry).
The trial dosed 12 patients and no drug-related adverse events were observed.
Glytuzumab® refers to the humanized version of Miltuximab® and also targets human GPC-1. The Glytuzumab® program is currently undergoing Lead Optimization and Lead Selection. Several humanized leads have been generated with similar binding affinities to that of the parent molecule Miltuximab®. The final Glytuzumab® lead selected will be taken forward from cell line development through to large scale GMP production for future clinical trials.
Achievements
