- Initiation of Phase 1/2 combination trial with PYX-201, an extracellular ADC targeting Extradomain-B Fibronectin (EDB+FN) and Merck's KEYTRUDA® (pembrolizumab) in multiple solid tumors
- The Company will focus resources on advancing its lead asset, PYX-201 - PYX-201 is a novel first-in-concept antibody-drug conjugate (ADC) where significant RECIST responses were seen in head and neck squamous cell carcinoma (HNSCC) with additional potential in other solid tumors - Current cash runway expected to fund development into 2H 2026 BOSTON, Dec. 19, 2024 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Pyxis Oncology, Inc. (Nasdaq: PYXS), a clinical-stage company developing next-generation therapeutics for difficult-to-treat cancers, today announced a portfolio prioritization, focusing resources on advancing its lead clinical program, PYX-201, a first-in-concept antibody-drug conjugate (ADC) with a microtubule inhibitor (optimized auristatin) payload that uniquely targets Extradomain-B Fibronectin (EDB+FN), a non-cellular structural component within the tumor extracellular matrix. In November 2024, Pyxis Oncology reported positive preliminary data from the ongoing Phase 1 dose-escalation study of PYX-201, evaluating its safety and efficacy in multiple solid tumor types.
Pyxis Oncology's lead candidate, PYX-201, showed promising response rates in Phase 1 trials but raised safety concerns due to a patient's death. The company's valuation appears deeply discounted, with a P/B ratio of 0.7 compared to a sector median of 2.4, reflecting market pessimism. PYX-201's ongoing trials and upcoming catalysts in 2025-2026 are crucial for addressing safety concerns and demonstrating efficacy across multiple cancer types.
