Welcome to our dedicated page for Mural Oncology plc Ordinary Shares news (Ticker: MURA), a resource for investors and traders seeking the latest updates and insights on Mural Oncology plc Ordinary Shares stock.
Mural Oncology plc (Nasdaq: MURA) is a clinical-stage immuno-oncology company focused on the discovery and development of innovative immunotherapies to significantly improve the lives of cancer patients. The company specializes in immune cell modulation and protein engineering to create novel cytokine therapies that address areas of unmet need.
Mural's leading product candidate, nemvaleukin alfa (nemvaleukin), is an engineered interleukin-2 (IL-2) cytokine designed to capture and expand the therapeutic benefits of high-dose recombinant human IL-2 while reducing toxicities. Nemvaleukin is currently in two potentially registrational trials: one for mucosal melanoma and another for platinum-resistant ovarian cancer (PROC), both with results expected in 1Q 2025. Additionally, nemvaleukin is being evaluated in a less frequent dosing regimen in cutaneous melanoma.
Beyond nemvaleukin, Mural Oncology is advancing discovery-stage programs targeting interleukin-18 (IL-18) and interleukin-12 (IL-12), with plans to nominate development candidates for each in 2024. These programs leverage Mural's expertise in cytokine biology and protein engineering to create therapies that could potentially overcome the limitations of existing immunotherapies.
Formed as a spin-out from Alkermes plc in November 2023, Mural Oncology started with $275 million in committed funding, providing financial stability projected into 4Q 2025. The company is led by a team of seasoned oncology experts and utilizes its innovative approaches to protein engineering to push the boundaries of cancer treatment.
