Balixafortide
Future indications under evaluation
Readiness if initiated (under evaluation)
Balixafortide is a macrocyclic CXCR4 inhibitor which has been studied in clinical trials involving over 500 subjects
and in many therapeutic indications such as solid tumors, hematologic malignancy and stem cell mobilization. Although a P3 trial in metastatic breast cancer read out negatively in mid-2021, Spexis believes there may be considerable therapeutic potential in other indications and is actively assessing same. We have partnered China rights to Fosun Pharma, a leading Chinese pharmaceutical company, but are seeking additional partnerships and investors to support further development efforts of balixafortide and, potentially, back-up compounds which we have identified and characterized arising from our macrocycle portfolio.
