REHOVOT, ISRAEL- June 1, 2022  

NeoTX Therapeutics (NeoTX), a clinical-stage immuno-oncology drug development company, announced today the successful completion of the first stage of a Simon 2 stage Phase 2a clinical trial of naptumomab estafenatox (NAP), in combination with docetaxel in patients with advanced non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) who have been previously treated with chemotherapy and checkpoint inhibitors (CPIs). The patients were treated with NAP (10 μg/kg/day x 4, days 1-4) and with docetaxel 75mg/m2, on day 5. The first stage of this trial required a minimum of two responses out of ten patients and the second stage is now enrolling.

 “These early observations are encouraging as patients with advanced disease previously treated with chemotherapy and checkpoint inhibitors have limited treatment options and new alternatives are needed. In addition, this clinical milestone occurs just as the acquisition of InterX has been recently completed, adding a computer-aided drug discovery arm (CADD) to the pre-clinical and clinical capabilities of NeoTX. So, this has been a crucial time for us” said Asher Nathan, CEO of NeoTX. “NeoTX’s drug discovery capabilities are strengthened by a world-class team that includes three Nobel Laureates. InterX technologies have the potential to significantly increase the speed of drug discovery. InterX also provided a pipeline that includes an oral PD-L1 inhibitor, which aligns with our current development plan of investigating NAP in combination with CPIs in various indications.”

REHOVOT and TEL AVIV, ISRAEL; MENLO PARK and BERKELEY, CALIFORNIA.  — May 12, 2022 – NeoTX announced today the acquisition of InterX. InterX, is a drug discovery company utilizing advanced proprietary tools of biomolecular computation for the discovery and design of novel therapeutic molecules based on Nobel Prize Laureate Prof Michael Levitt’s discoveries. These tools allow a detailed quantum mechanical process assessment of biochemical interactions resulting in faster, more accurate and efficient drug discovery. In addition to the discovery engine, this acquisition also comes with a pipeline of early drugs. “We are excited to be expanding NeoTX capabilities to include a suite of proprietary drug discovery technologies. InterX is a world class team that includes three Nobel Laureates who have developed technologies that have the potential to increase the speed of drug discovery. These technologies augment traditional Computer Assisted Drug Discovery (CADD) and are designed to replace much of the typical synthesis and testing cycles that are needed after obtaining results from the traditional CADD process, while potentially saving three-plus years of the typical drug discovery timeline” said CEO, Asher Nathan. “InterX’s technology is the most advanced in the industry, and when combined with the development expertise of NeoTX, we will be able to advance best-in-class drug candidates, increase the value of our pipeline, and strive to contribute to improvement of quality of life within society,” said Nobel Prize Laureate Prof. Roger Kornberg, Chief Scientist of NeoTX and cofounder of InterX.

Rehovot, Israel — November 30, 2021 – NeoTX Therapeutics (NeoTX), a clinical-stage immuno-oncology company, announced that the preclinical data on naptumomab estafenatox (NAP) enhancing the potency of CAR-T cells was presented on Nov 12th at the Society for Immunotherapy of Cancer’s (SITC) 36th Annual Meeting at the Walter E. Washington Convention Center, Washington D.C.

Clinical CAR-T therapy currently has limited efficacy against solid tumors due to low trafficking to the tumor, limited cell expansion in patients, tumor antigen heterogeneity, and an immunosuppressive microenvironment. NeoTX presented data that shows that NAP generates more potent CAR-T cells and acts synergistically against tumor cell lines in vitro. NAP is a fusion protein that consists of genetically engineered Superantigens (Sag) linked to Fragment antigen-binding (Fab) moieties directed to tumor-associated antigens, turns “cold tumors hot” and, in preclinical models, can lead to long-term memory responses.

The ability of NAP administration to activate T cells outside of the immunosuppressive microenvironment, promote T cell infiltration into the tumor and induce long-term memory responses strongly suggests that the combination of CAR-T cells with NAP may overcome the limited effect of CAR-T therapy against solid tumors.
