Professor Helleday presents new data on OXC-101 for psoriasis

At the 13th Uppsala University Symposium on Pharmaceutical Profiling in Drug Discovery and Development, Professor Thomas Helleday presents new data on OXC-101, Oxcia’s mitotic MTH1 inhibitor, in psoriasis – a new indication for the project. OXC-101 is developed for cancer treatment, but in this research Oxcia has found interesting data that indicate potential for treatment of autoimmune disorders. Exploratory research is presently carried out in psoriasis.  There is substantial scientific rational for its use in psoriasis. As in cancer, oxidative stress plays an important role and MTH1 is

Oxcia is focusing the development of OXC-101 on hematological cancers

Following a strategy and data review, Oxcia has chosen to re-prioritize the clinical development of OXC-101 from solid tumors to hematological cancers, specifically acute myeloid leukemia (AML). The preclinical program for OXC-101 has shown good results in both AML and other forms of hematological cancers, and data to date from the phase I/II study MAATEO confirm the previous results. Oxcia has initiated an expansion part of the MAATEO study in patients with refractory/relapsed AML (R/R AML), where OXC-101 is administered in combination with idarubicin (an anthracycline). - The first AML

New publications in peer-reviewed scientific journals support the potential for OXC-101 as a novel anti-cancer therapy

OXC-101 shows promise in enhancing the effectiveness of immune checkpoint inhibitors. The article published in Oncogenesis by Helleday laboratory, Karolinska Institute, and Oxcia team suggests that the mitotic MTH1 inhibitor OXC-101 (TH1579) has the potential to enhance the effectiveness of immune checkpoint inhibitors (ICI) in cancer treatment. This is achieved by influencing immune checkpoint-related proteins and pathways (1). The researchers discovered that treatment with OXC-101 leads to an increase in PD-L1 expression and inflammatory response in cancer cell lines. This finding may

Patent approval now also secured in the US, the largest IPF market

Following the recent patent application approvals in Japan and China, the patent (composition of matter) for OXC-201, Oxcias potential breakthrough approach for the treatment of IPF (idiopathic pulmonary fibrosis), has now also been approved in the largest market, the US. The US represents 57% of the prevalence and incidence of IPF in the 7 major markets and as much as 82% of the market value. The patent is valid at least until 2040. Additional national and regional patent applications are pending in Europe (EPO - European Patent Organization) and Canada. As previously communicated,

Another key milestone for OXC-201 – patent approval in China

Following the recent patent application approval in Japan, the patent for OXC-201, Oxcias potential breakthrough approach for the treatment of IPF (idiopathic pulmonary fibrosis), has now also been approved in China.

Oxcia AB presents positive effects of OXC-201 in lung tissue from patient with Idiopatic Pulmonary Fibrosis

Oxcia presents new preclinical data on OXC-201 at the 7th IPF summit in Boston, September 19-21 and European Respiratory Society (ERS) International Congress 2023 September 9–13.  Lung tissue from IPF patients express high levels of several fibrotic biomarkers. Treatment with clinically relevant doses of OXC-201 demonstrated robust dose-dependent reduction of a number of the most important fibrosis-related biomarkers such as TGF-ß and collagen. These data correlate well with results from previous preclinical models, supporting OXC-201 as a potential treatment for IPF.   Christina

New studies show OXC-101 further improves conventional chemotherapy treatment in Acute Myelom Leukemia (AML)

According to a new study published online 28 Feb 2022 (Centio et al., "Inhibition of oxidized nucleotide sanitation by TH1579 and conventional chemotherapy cooperatively enhance oxidative DNA-damage and survival in AML", Mol Cancer Ther, doi: 10.1158/1535-7163.MCT-21-0185. Online ahead of print), OXC-101 (TH1579, karonudib) can inhibit AML progression as monotherapy but also boost standard chemotherapy response in AML pre-clinical models. AML is an aggressive blood cancer with estimated 25% 5-year survival, mainly due to primary resistance or relapse towards standard therapeutic regimens.
