"HPV-associated cancers remain an area with a large unmet medical need," said Dr. Jerry Zeldis, Executive Vice President, R&D of NexImmune. "Our collaboration with Columbia University Irving Medical Center will continue to help us develop new therapies for those patients that are not adequately treated and cured with existing standard of care."

"Our labs have pioneered the development and characterization of PDO systems that resemble the primary tumor, both phenotypically and genotypically," said Dr. Nakagawa. "Using these PDOs, we will seek to rapidly assess the therapeutic potential of NexImmune’s patient-derived T cells in HPV-associated tumors and precancerous cells."

About SBP-101

SBP-101 is a proprietary polyamine analogue designed to induce polyamine metabolic inhibition (PMI) by exploiting an observed high affinity of the compound for pancreatic ductal adenocarcinoma and other tumors. The molecule has shown signals of tumor growth inhibition in clinical studies of US and Australian metastatic pancreatic cancer patients, demonstrating a median overall survival (OS) of 12.0 months which is not yet final, and an objective response rate (ORR) of 48%, both exceeding what is seen typically with the standard of care of gemcitabine + nab-paclitaxel suggesting potential complementary activity with the existing FDA-approved standard chemotherapy regimen. In data evaluated from clinical studies to date, SBP-101 has not shown exacerbation of bone marrow suppression and peripheral neuropathy, which can be chemotherapy-related adverse events. Serious visual adverse events have been evaluated and patients with a history of retinopathy or at risk of retinal detachment will be excluded from future SBP-101 studies. The safety data and PMI profile observed in the current Panbela sponsored clinical trial provides support for continued evaluation of SBP-101 in a randomized clinical trial.
