Researchers will present the data at the ASCO (Free ASCO Whitepaper) meeting taking place June 2-6 online and in person at the McCormick Place in Chicago. The poster shows the final data from a phase 2 study evaluating the ability of the DRP companion diagnostic for cisplatin to prospectively identify patients with metastatic breast cancer that are likely to respond to treatment with LiPlaCis, a targeted liposomal formulation of cisplatin. Allarity conducted the study in collaboration with investigators at hospitals in Denmark, as well as its CRO Smerud Medical Research International AS. The LiPlaCis program is currently licensed to Chosa Oncology AB for further clinical development.

The poster presentation details are as follows:

Poster Title: "Predictive biomarker for cisplatin in prospective phase 2 of liposomal cisplatin in metastatic breast cancer."
Authors: Nielsen, D., Jakobsen, E,H., Langkjer, S.T., Danoe, H., Balslev, E., Knoop, A., … Lassen, U.N.
Abstract Number: 3130
Session Title: Developmental Therapeutics—Molecularly Targeted Agents and Tumor Biology
Date and Time: 6/3/2023, 8:00 AM-11:00 AM local time

ASCO will publish the official abstracts on its meeting website in advance of the ASCO (Free ASCO Whitepaper) Annual Meeting at 5:00 p.m. ET on Thursday, May 25, 2023.

"Prelude’s six preclinical and two clinical abstracts being presented at the AACR (Free AACR Whitepaper) Annual Meeting highlight the important progress we are making across our pipeline. Initial safety, pharmacokinetic and pharmacodynamic profiles in solid tumors for both PRT2527 and PRT1419 support continued development of both compounds in hematological cancers," said Jane Huang, M.D., President and Chief Medical Officer of Prelude. "Additionally, we will be presenting preclinical data on our orally bioavailable SMARCA2 degrader program for the first time."

"We are also presenting preclinical data for both our next generation CDK4/6 inhibitor, PRT3645, and our SMARCA2 degrader, PRT3789, in combination with other targeted therapies. These studies demonstrate the favorable combinability of our compounds with standard of care medicines and inform potential clinical development," added Peggy Scherle, Ph.D., Chief Scientific Officer of Prelude.

Xenetic Biosciences, Inc. Announces Research and Development Collaboration with The Scripps Research Institute to Advance DNase Platform

On April 11, 2023 Xenetic Biosciences, Inc. (NASDAQ:XBIO) ("Xenetic" or the "Company"), a biopharmaceutical company focused on advancing innovative immune-oncology technologies addressing hard to treat cancers, reported that it has entered into a Research Funding and Option Agreement (the "Agreement") with The Scripps Research Institute ("TSRI") to advance the development of the Company’s systemic DNase program as well as its DNase-armored CAR T program (Press release, Xenetic Biosciences, APR 11, 2023, https://ir.xeneticbio.com/news/detail/135/xenetic-biosciences-inc-announces-research-and-development-collaboration-with-the-scripps-research-institute-to-advance-dnase-platform [SID1234629954]). The systemic DNase program is expected to be evaluated in combination with existing therapies for the potential treatment of pancreatic carcinoma and other solid tumor indications.

Xenetic’s DNase-based oncology platform is designed to target neutrophil extracellular traps ("NETs"), which are weblike structures composed of extracellular chromatin coated with histones and other proteins. NETs are expelled by activated neutrophils, in response to microbial or pro-inflammatory challenges. However, excessive production or reduced clearance of NETs can lead to aggravated inflammatory and autoimmune pathologies, as well as creation and support of pro-tumorigenic niches in the case of cancer growth and metastasis, thereby potentially limiting response to therapy.

"Scripps has been a long-standing valued collaboration partner of ours and we are pleased to further extend our relationship through this agreement for our DNase-based oncology platform. We believe that the team at Scripps is well-equipped to provide valuable insight and generate meaningful data in our preclinical development program as we work to advance toward the clinic. We look forward to exploring a platform technology that has the potential to generate much needed therapies for pancreatic carcinoma and other locally advanced or metastatic solid tumors," commented Jeffrey Eisenberg, Chief Executive Officer of Xenetic.

Under the terms of the Scripps Research agreement, in addition to advancing Xenetic’s existing intellectual property, Xenetic has an option to acquire an exclusive license to any new intellectual property arising from the DNase research program. Xenetic is working toward its planned first-in-human study to evaluate DNase combined with immune checkpoint inhibitors or chemotherapy.
