Medicenna Therapeutics Corp (MDNAF) Gagner

Medicenna Therapeutics Corp. is a clinical stage immuno-oncology company. The company is headquartered in Toronto, Ontario and currently employs 18 full-time employees. The company went IPO on 2015-07-13. Its long-acting IL-2 Superkine, MDNA11, is a IL-2 with superior affinity toward CD122 (IL-2 receptor beta) and no CD25 (IL-2 receptor alpha) binding, thereby preferentially stimulating cancer-killing effector T cells and NK cells. Its IL-4 Empowered Superkine, bizaxofusp, has been studied in five clinical trials, including a Phase IIb trial for recurrent glioblastoma (GBM). Its early-stage high-affinity IL-2B biased IL-2/IL-15 Super-antagonists, from its MDNA209 platform, are being evaluated as potential therapies for autoimmune and graft-versus host diseases. Its early-stage BiSKITs (Bifunctional SuperKine ImmunoTherapies) and the T-MASK (Targeted Metalloprotease Activated SuperKine) programs are designed to enhance the ability of Superkines to treat immunologically cold tumors.
