Kazia Therapeutics Announces Sale of Intellectual Property and Trademarks Rights for Cantrixil
Kazia Therapeutics (NASDAQ: KZIA) has announced the sale of all intellectual property and trademark rights for its oncology drug candidate Cantrixil to Vivesto for USD $1 million. This transaction follows Vivesto's March 2021 licensing of exclusive global development and commercialization rights for the drug.
Vivesto has opted not to pursue Cantrixil's development in ovarian cancer as initially planned, and is instead exploring its potential in hematological cancers through preclinical studies. Cantrixil contains TRXE-002-01, a third-generation benzopyran SMETI inhibitor, encapsulated in α-cyclodextrin.
The sale provides Kazia with non-dilutive funding to support the advancement of their clinical-stage pipeline.

Vivesto ha deciso di non proseguire nello sviluppo di Cantrixil per il cancro ovarico come inizialmente previsto, e sta invece esplorando il suo potenziale nei tumori ematologici attraverso studi preclinici. Cantrixil contiene TRXE-002-01, un inibitore SMETI di terza generazione a base di benzopirano, incapsulato in α-ciclodestrina.

In March 2021, Vivesto licensed the exclusive global development and commercialization rights for Cantrixil from Kazia Therapeutics. Having decided not to pursue development of Cantrixil in ovarian cancer, as originally anticipated under the license, Vivesto is currently exploring Cantrixil preclinically for the treatment of hematological cancers. Cantrixil, a legacy molecule in the Kazia pipeline, is a product candidate consisting of the active molecule, a potent and selective third generation benzopyran SMETI inhibitor named TRXE-002-01, encapsulated in α-cyclodextrin.
"We are pleased to enter into this agreement with Vivesto, which provides a source of non-dilutive funding that will help advance our proprietary, clinical-stage pipeline," said John Friend, M.D., Chief Executive Officer of Kazia Therapeutics.
