JUST TO LET ME KNOW!










Hi MUTOMBO,

In the run up to Target TME (18-20 November, Boston) I've had the chance to speak with and interview researchers working on some of the hottest research projects in the field. One of these projects is Noxxon Pharma’s NOX-A12

NOX-A12 is a clinical candidate which inhibits CXCL12/SDF-1, which plays a key role in homing and retention of leukemic cells to their protective niches like the bone marrow or the lymph nodes. The biotech company has had some promising results so far which may be of huge interest to you and your work.

When I spoke to Anna Kruschinski, the project leader, she was able to go into much more detail for me:










“We are in Phase II running two proof of concept studies in chronic lymphocytic leukemia (CLL) and multiple myeloma (MM) using NOX-A12 in combination with standard treatment, and we have managed to treat approximately half of the required patients.” 

I've made the full interview with Anna into a free downloadable PDF, where she discusses the clinical and  PK/PD results they have seen already, as well as their future plans for taking NOX-A12 through the clinic. 





























Her interview can be found, alongside other free and exclusive content, on our online resource page at  http://tumor-microenvironment.com/resources.  

I hope you enjoy the interview and find the content  useful. Make sure you look out for updates as this week I will be interviewing our chairman Michael Lisanti, Professor and Director, Breakthrough Breast Cancer Centre.

Best wishes,

Emma
