About Medicenna Therapeutics Corp.

Medicenna is a clinical-stage immunotherapy company focused on the development of novel, highly selective versions of IL-2, IL-4 and IL-13 superkines, and first-in-class empowered cytokines (ECs) for the treatment of a broad range of cancers. Medicenna's long-acting IL2 superkine asset, MDNA11, is a next-generation IL-2 with superior CD122 binding without CD25 affinity, and therefore preferentially stimulating cancer-killing effector T cells and NK cells when compared with competing IL-2 programs. It is anticipated that MDNA11 will be ready for the clinic in 2021. Medicenna's lead IL4-EC, MDNA55, has completed a phase 2b clinical trial for rGBM, the most common and uniformly fatal form of brain cancer. MDNA55 has been studied in five clinical trials involving 132 subjects, including 112 adults with rGBM. MDNA55 has obtained fast track and orphan drug status from the FDA and FDA/EMA (European Medicines Agency), respectively.
