Exscientia plc (Nasdaq: EXAI) announced the advancement of two additional discovery programmes within its collaboration with Sanofi. The company will receive $15 million in milestone payments for these achievements. Both lead compounds have met the product profile requirements to transition to the lead optimisation phase and have shown high differentiation potential for best-in-class assets.
Exscientia is eligible for over $600 million in additional milestone payments for these two programmes, as well as high-single-digit to mid-teen royalties on product sales. Three programmes in the partnership have now advanced through initial milestones, with multiple more progressing at earlier stages. The milestone payment is expected to be received in Q4 2024 and will be recognised as revenue over the collaboration duration.
Exscientia plc (Nasdaq: EXAI) announced three abstracts to be presented at the 36th EORTC-NCI-AACR (ENA) Symposium 2024 in Barcelona, Spain. The presentations focus on:
1. Combining MALT1 inhibitor EXS73565 with BTK inhibitors for enhanced efficacy in B-cell malignancies.
2. In vivo studies of EXS74539, a novel LSD1 inhibitor for acute myeloid leukemia (AML).
3. Xcellomics collaboration with the University of Oxford for rapid translation of high-throughput screening results.
Key highlights include:
- EXS73565 combined with zanubrutinib showed deeper, more durable efficacy in B-cell malignancy models.
- EXS74539 demonstrated platelet level effects in AML models.
- Identification of 12 potential pharmacodynamic biomarkers for LSD1 inhibitor activity.
- Both EXS73565 and EXS74539 are expected to enter clinical studies in early 2025.
Rallybio (Nasdaq: RLYB) presented nonclinical data at the American Society for Bone and Mineral Research (ASBMR) 2024 Annual Meeting, demonstrating ENPP1 inhibition as a potential therapeutic approach for hypophosphatasia (HPP). The study, using an early lead ENPP1 inhibitor (REV101) in a mouse model of later-onset HPP, showed promising results:
1. Oral dosing lowered PPi by 30%
2. Improved mineralization of long and vertebrate bones
3. ENPP1 inhibition was safe and well-tolerated
Rallybio and Exscientia plc (Nasdaq: EXAI) are developing an improved ENPP1 inhibitor for HPP treatment, with a development candidate expected to be nominated in Q4 2024. This approach could potentially address the unmet need in HPP patients, particularly adults.
