"As a global biotechnology company, BeiGene is committed to delivering next-generation therapies through our own internal discovery engine and leveraging cutting-edge technology from experienced and innovative partners"

"As a global biotechnology company, BeiGene is committed to delivering next-generation therapies through our own internal discovery engine and leveraging cutting-edge technology from experienced and innovative partners," said Lai Wang, Ph.D., Global Head of R&D at BeiGene. "This collaboration with InnoRNA advances and supports our research efforts in the important field of mRNA therapies while securing critical, proprietary delivery tools."

Under the terms of the agreement, InnoRNA will receive an upfront cash payment and will be eligible to receive additional payments based upon the achievement of certain development, regulatory, and commercial milestones, as well as tiered royalties, for the mRNA-LNP research collaboration programs. BeiGene will hold exclusive global development and commercialization rights for the mRNA-LNP therapies jointly discovered by InnoRNA and BeiGene.

InnoRNA will receive an additional upfront cash payment and is eligible for additional milestone payments for granting BeiGene non-exclusive license to its proprietary LNP Technology platform.

"We are very excited to partner with BeiGene to discover and develop innovative mRNA therapies as well as contribute our LNP technology to BeiGene’s internal research," said Linxian Li, Ph.D., Founder and Chief Executive Officer of InnoRNA. "As evidenced by the success of multiple Covid-19 vaccines, mRNA and LNPs will likely play a major role in the future of drug development, potentially in broad fields beyond vaccines. Joining this collaboration with BeiGene represents a big step forward toward this vision for our company."

Altered glycosylation of tumors is a signature of cancer development, making glycans an emerging target especially in immunotherapy resistant patient cohorts. The sponsored project will advance GNU201 and GNU101, as potential first-in-class immunotherapeutics that steer immune responses to control growth in solid tumors expressing altered O-glycan profiles thus responding to a critical need in non-responding patients. The multi-year project which will include dose-finding and key translational studies, forms a core part of a broader preclinical development plan that will support an Investigational New Drug Application (IND).

"This support from Innosuisse and continued close collaboration with Prof. Michael Scharl`s group at the University Hospital Zürich provide further validation of our GLAAD platform, which holds great therapeutic potential for anti-PD-1 resistant and other non-responsive patient cohorts." stated Yemi Adesokan, Ph.D., Gnubiotics’s Chief Executive Officer.

Gnubiotics presented compelling data recently at the 2022 American Society of Clinical Oncology (ASCO) (Free ASCO Whitepaper) annual meeting showing the effect of its glycopeptides platform in driving robust T-cell immune responses against anti-PD-1 resistant tumors in a colorectal cancer mouse model. Also announced recently, was a collaboration with the University of Pennsylvania to explore CAR-T therapy in combination with Gnubiotics’ glycopeptides to enhance CAR-T efficacy in solid tumors.
