InNexus Biotechnology Announces Second Preclinical CandidateDXL702 (HER2/neu) Targeting Breast Cancer
Publish Date : 2/19/2008 5:37:00 AM   Source : Health News Onlypunjab.com

InNexus Biotechnology Inc. (OTCBB: IXSBF)(TSX VENTURE: IXS) (http://www.ixsbio.com), a drug development company commercializing the next generation of monoclonal antibodies based on its technology, Dynamic Cross Linking (DXL™), today announced that it has released its second candidate into preclinical status, DXL702 (HER2/neu), for the treatment of breast cancer. This follows a recent announcement on InNexus’ first preclinical candidate, DXL625 (CD20) for Non-Hodgkin’s Lymphoma (NHL) and encouraging preliminary results of tests on DXL625 discovering greater killing potency than the market leading Rituxan®.

Based on data from a recently initiated animal study, preliminary data shows an increase of potency of the company's first product candidate, DXL625, for the prospective treatment of NHL. The study compared DXL625 with a control vehicle and Genentech’s Rituxan®. Previous laboratory studies indicated that DXL625 may afford greater potency in killing tumor cells and showed increased binding to the target antigen (CD20) on NHL tumor cells. Additional results demonstrated DXL625 more potently induced apoptosis (cell suicide) in B-cell lymphoma cells, B-cell leukemia (Hairy Cells) as well as discovering greater killing potency than Rituxan® in cell lines of both moderate and low expressors of CD20. DXL625 is currently in preclinical status undergoing invitro and invivo-animal studies.

Dr. Thomas Kindt, InNexus Biotechnology’s Chief Scientific Officer said, “We’ve had an exciting couple of months and today’s announcement regarding our latest candidate for breast cancer is our most recent milestone. I’m extremely proud of our team as we have achieved proof-of-concept with DXL625, which we’ll be discussing soon and now with the introduction of DXL702 as a preclinical candidate, further scientific progress is demonstrated. We will continue our accumulation of data points as well as the deliberate progression of both DXL625 and DXL702 to the filing of an Investigational New Drug Application with the Food & Drug Administration”.

“We are delighted to announce our second preclinical candidate and we’ve had tremendous requests for information regarding our DXL™ pipeline, said Jeff Morhet, Chairman and CEO of InNexus Biotechnology. I invite you to join our teleconference and I’m encouraged by our progress to rapidly develop new molecular entities entering a growing multi-billion dollar industry as well as the interest the pharmaceutical companies have placed on antibodies and their tremendous success”.
