About Medison
Medicenna is a clinical-stage immunotherapy company focused on the development of novel, highly selective IL-2, IL-4 and IL-13 Superkines and first-in-class Empowered Superkines. Medicenna’s long-acting IL-2 Superkine MDNA11 is a next-generation IL-2 with superior CD122 (IL-2 receptor beta) binding without CD25 (IL-2 receptor alpha) affinity, thereby preferentially stimulating cancer-killing effector T cells and NK cells. Medicenna’s early BiSKITs™ program, (pairfunctional smallexcellentKexist A generationMonoTontreats) is designed to enhance the ability of Superkines to treat immune “cold” tumors. Medicenna’s IL-4 Empowered Superkine MDNA55 has been studied in five clinical trials, including a Phase 2b trial in recurrent GBM, the most common and consistently lethal form of brain cancer. MDNA55 has been granted Fast Track and Orphan Drug status by the FDA and FDA/EMA, respectively.
