Under the agreement, Vector will distribute Pepaxti (melphalan flufenamide), indicated in combination with dexamethasone, in the MENA region for the treatment of patients with multiple myeloma.
The net proceeds will be used in the clinical development of the company’s lead antibody-drug conjugate therapeutic candidate PYX-201, which is currently evaluated in the clinical trial studies for patients with relapsed/refractory solid tumors.
Through the acquisition, Pyxis Oncology positions at forefront of Antibody-Drug Conjugate (ADC) development by adding PYX-107 (sotigalimab), a potential best-in-class Phase 2 CD40 agonist in clinical development for liposarcoma, melanoma, and other cancers.
PYX-106 is a fully human immunotherapy antibody candidate in development that blocks the activity of Siglec-15, it is an emerging immune suppressor expressed across a broad range of solid tumors.
Through the acquisition, Pyxis Oncology positions at forefront of Antibody-Drug Conjugate (ADC) development by adding APX 005 (sotigalimab), a potential best-in-class Phase 2 CD40 agonist in clinical development for liposarcoma, melanoma, and other cancers.
The gross proceeds will be used to finance and further support the company’s ongoing Phase 2 clinical study evaluating its CD40 antibody, APX005M (sotigalimab), in combination with doxorubicin in patients with liposarcoma.
Sotiga (sotigalimab) is a humanized monoclonal antibody that binds CD40 with high affinity and activates antigen presenting cells (dendritic cells, monocytes and B cells) leading to stimulation of cancer-specific T-cell responses leading tumor-specific immune activation.
APX005M (sotigalimab) is a CD40 agonist that has been designed to reverse the systemic immune suppression that typically affects cancer patients, through the activation of several mechanisms of immune functionality.
The combination of intratumoral sotigalimab and systemic pembrolizumab was well-tolerated and demonstrated an improved clinical response rate relative to the standard of care, pembrolizumab monotherapy.
Sotiga (sotigalimab) in combination with neoadjuvant chemoradiation induced higher pathologic complete response rates, an important predictor of survival, in patients with both adenocarcinoma and squamous cell carcinoma.
