MITHRAS is being led by Theragnostics Advisory Board member Professor Phil Blower as part of a team of 15 co-investigators including 12 from King’s College London, two from Imperial College London and one from Southampton University. The research team will also comprise post-doctoral assistants and aligned PhD students, whose work will be to design, validate and translate novel radionuclide imaging agents and radiotherapeutics.

Theragnostics involvement builds on a long term relationship with King’s College London School of Biomedical Engineering and Imaging Sciences which for over a decade, has been assembling an environment and team fit for the task of delivering this multidisciplinary programme to develop fast, efficient chemistry for novel PET imaging agents. The Imaging Chemistry and Biology Department within the School of Biomedical Engineering & Imaging Sciences has ten academic molecular imaging chemists and biologists, alongside physicists and clinicians, plus key external experts feeding in additional novel chemistry and image analysis. The programme has been awarded £6 million and will run over 5 years, with clinical translation in a range of oncology indicaions as the guiding principle."

"We believe that the FDA’s acceptance of our BLA for priority review of our first leading antibody compound, Danyelza (naxitamab), is a significant achievement for Y-mAbs and a crucial step forward as we anticipate that Danyelza, if approved, can address a significant unmet medical need for children with relapsed/refractory high-risk neuroblastoma," stated Thomas Gad, Founder, Chairman, President and Head of Business Development and Strategy.

Dr. Claus Moller, Chief Executive Officer, continued, "We look forward to working with the Agency to bring Danyelza to appropriate patients. We are excited to move forward and plan for a seamless commercial launch of Danyelza (naxitamab), if approved."

Researchers at Memorial Sloan Kettering Cancer Center ("MSK") developed naxitamab, which is exclusively licensed by MSK to Y-mAbs. As a result of this licensing arrangement, MSK has institutional financial interests in the product.

Moleculin Biotech, Inc. is a clinical stage pharmaceutical company focused on the development of a broad portfolio of oncology drug candidates for the treatment of highly resistant tumors. (PRNewsfoto/Moleculin Biotech, Inc.)

WP1066 is the lead molecule in Moleculin’s portfolio of immune stimulators and modulators of transcription. WP1066 has been shown in animal models to both stimulate a natural immune response, while also inhibiting the activated form of STAT3 (p-STAT3), a gene transcription factor that is considered a master regulator of tumor-related activity.

"p-STAT3 has long been considered an ‘undruggable’ target," commented Walter Klemp, Chairman and CEO of Moleculin. "We’ve shown activity in patients with WP1220, one of the other molecules in this portfolio. This trial represents another opportunity to show that p-STAT3 is a viable target. We are honored to be a part of this effort to cure childhood brain tumors."
