In addition to presentations from the executive management from MEI and Infinity on the three programs, the webcast includes commentary and discussion with Dr. Ezra Cohen, a recognized expert in the treatment of squamous cell carcinoma of the head & neck (SCCHN) and recently the Chief, Division of Hematology-Oncology, and Associate Director of Clinical Science at UC San Diego Moores Cancer Center. Following the prepared presentations, Dr. Nick Abbott, most recently the senior sell side biotech analyst at Wells Fargo Securities will ask questions of the presenters, Dr. Robert Ilaria, Dr. Ezra Cohen and Dr. Richard Ghalie.
The combined company’s development pipeline consists of three differentiated programs. All three clinical-stage development programs have the potential, in combination with current therapies, to overcome known resistance mechanisms and meaningfully improve patient outcomes:
Eganelisib, an oral immuno-oncology macrophage reprogramming product candidate, which is planned to be evaluated in combination with the PD-1 targeted checkpoint inhibitor pembrolizumab (KEYTRUDA) in patients with head and neck squamous cell carcinoma (HNSCC);
Voruciclib, an oral CDK9 inhibitor, currently being studied in combination with venetoclax (VENCLEXTA) in patients with hematologic malignancies; and
ME-344, a novel tumor selective mitochondrial inhibitor targeting the OXPHOS pathway, to be evaluated in combination with bevacizumab (AVASTIN) in patients with relapsed colorectal cancer.
