Hemogenyx Pharmaceuticals plc (LSE: HEMO), a clinical-stage biopharmaceutical group focused on developing treatments for cancers and viral diseases, is pleased to announce that it has developed a new and improved version of its bi-specific antibody (“CDX”) for the treatment of relapsed/refractory acute myeloid leukaemia (“AML”), a subset of acute lymphoblastic leukaemia (“ALL”), and potentially for conditioning in bone marrow transplantations.
The Company’s scientists utilised Lonza’s bYlok bispecific pairing technology to develop a new and improved version of CDX, which has demonstrated significantly enhanced efficacy in in vitro testing. Additional in vivo studies are currently underway.
Dr. Vladislav Sandler, CEO & Co-Founder of Hemogenyx, commented:
“The development of an improved version of our CDX bi-specific antibody holds significant promise for enhancing treatment outcomes for patients battling often incurable blood cancers. This advancement could accelerate the progress of this product candidate and allow us to resume its development toward the clinic. It may also attract new industry partners interested in fast-tracking the co-development of CDX.”
