LIXTE Biotechnology Holdings announced a collaboration with Roche and the Netherlands Cancer Institute (NKI) to conduct a new clinical trial targeting immune therapy unresponsive (MSI Low) metastatic colon cancer. The trial, listed as NCT06012734, will investigate the efficacy of LIXTE's lead compound, LB-100, in combination with Roche's PD-L1 inhibitor, atezolizumab (Tecentriq®). Approximately 85% of colon cancers are MSI Low and non-responsive to immunotherapy. The aim is to enhance immunotherapy efficacy for these patients. The collaboration highlights the scientific potential of LB-100, which has shown promise in pre-clinical data and previous trials. This study is the second recent collaboration with a major pharmaceutical company, following a GSK-supported trial for clear cell ovarian cancer.
LIXTE Biotechnology Holdings has announced a collaboration with Roche and the Netherlands Cancer Institute (NKI) for a new clinical trial targeting MSI Low metastatic colon cancer. The trial, registered as NCT06012734, will test LIXTE's lead compound LB-100 in combination with Roche's PD-L1 inhibitor, atezolizumab. NKI's Dr. Neeltje Steeghs will lead the trial, aiming to improve immunotherapy efficacy for the 85% of colon cancers unresponsive to current treatments. This collaboration follows another recent trial funded by GSK for clear cell ovarian cancer, highlighting the pharmaceutical industry's support for LB-100's potential. This trial could significantly impact colon cancer treatment by making immunotherapy viable for a larger patient group.
LIXTE Biotechnology Holdings announced new pre-clinical data published in EMBO Reports showing that its lead compound, LB-100, can potentially enhance immunotherapy effectiveness in colon cancer. LB-100 has been found to disrupt mRNA splicing in cancer cells, creating neo-antigens that boost immune system recognition. This mechanism could help turn immunologically 'cold' tumors 'hot,' making them more susceptible to immunotherapy. The study, conducted by researchers at the Netherlands Cancer Institute, adds to existing data supporting LB-100's role in sensitizing cancer cells to immune checkpoint blockade. This discovery is expected to expand clinical trial efforts, particularly in lung and ovarian cancer, and could significantly increase the number of colon cancer patients responding to immunotherapy.
LIXTE Biotechnology Holdings has appointed Dr. Jan Schellens as the new Chief Medical Officer, effective August 1, 2024, succeeding Dr. James S. Miser.
Dr. Schellens brings over 25 years of clinical experience in oncology and pharmacology, including leadership roles at prominent institutions like the Netherlands Cancer Institute.
He is expected to significantly contribute to LIXTE's development of LB-100, which aims to enhance chemotherapy and immunotherapy treatments. Dr. Schellens has co-authored over 900 scientific publications and has had significant roles on various medical boards and advisory committees.
LIXTE CEO Bas van der Baan expressed confidence in Dr. Schellens' ability to drive the company's growth and development in cancer therapeutics.
