About Bizaxofusp
Bizaxofusp (formerly MDNA55) is Medicenna’s IL-4 Empowered Superkine that has been evaluated in more than 130 patients across five clinical trials, including a Phase 2b study in recurrent glioblastoma. Bizaxofusp is designed to selectively target the interleukin-4 receptor (IL-4R), which is overexpressed by glioblastoma cells and cells in the tumor microenvironment, and is administered directly into the tumor using convection-enhanced delivery. Bizaxofusp has received Fast Track designation from the U.S. Food and Drug Administration and Orphan Drug designation in the United States and Europe.
