Laquinimod is a first-in-class immunomodulator that induces immune tolerance and reduces the pro-inflammatory and angiogenic response by targeting of the myeloid cell compartment.
Under the terms of the agreement, Oncode Institute, a foundation under the laws of the Netherlands, acting on behalf of Erasmus Universiteit Medisch Centrum, grants a global exclusive license to develop and commercialize tasquinimod worldwide in MF to Active Biotech.
Preclinical data on drug tasquinimod, a small molecule immunomodulator Targets Immunosuppressive Myeloid Cells, Increases Osteogenesis and Has Direct Anti-Myeloma Effects by Inhibiting c-Myc Expression in Vitro and In Vivo.
A preclinical program shows that the laquinimod eye-drop is safe and well tolerated, and the safety of this new formulation will now be tested in a phase I clinical study in healthy subjects.
Naptumomab estafenatox (NAP) is a cell therapy candidate, currently in Phase I. It is in clinical development for advanced solid tumors utilizing its proprietary Tumor Targeted Superantigen platform.
Lead Product(s):
Naptumomab Estafenatox,Durvalumab
Tasquinimod is an oral immunomodulatory and anti-angiogenic investigational treatment, that affects the tumor’s ability to grow and metastasize. Tasquinimod is developed as a new immunomodulatory treatment for multiple myeloma.
Through the agreement, Active Biotech will get the material for the clinical development of the eye-drop formulation of ABR-215062 (laquinimod), which is used for the treatment of non-infectious non-anterior uveitis.
The primary objective of the study is to establish the optimal dose and treatment schedule of tasquinimod when used as a single agent and in combination with IRd.
