About Medicenna
Medicenna is a clinical stage
immunotherapy company focused on the development of novel, highly
selective versions of IL-2, IL-4 and IL-13 Superkines and first in
class Empowered Cytokines™ (ECs) for the treatment of a broad range
of cancers. Medicenna's lead IL4-EC, MDNA55, has completed a Phase
2b clinical trial for rGBM, the most
common and uniformly fatal form of brain cancer. MDNA55 has been
studied in five clinical trials involving 132 patients, including
112 adults with rGBM. MDNA55 has demonstrated compelling efficacy
and has obtained Fast-Track and Orphan Drug status from the FDA and
FDA/EMA respectively. Medicenna's long-acting IL2 Superkine asset,
MDNA11, is potentially a best-in-class next-generation IL-2 with
superior CD122 binding without CD25 affinity and therefore
preferentially stimulating cancer killing effector T cells and NK
cells when compared to competing IL-2 programs. It is anticipated
that MDNA11 will be ready for the clinic in 2021. For more
