About Medicenna
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 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-stage BiSKITs™ program, (Bifunctional SuperKine ImmunoTherapies) is designed to enhance the ability of Superkines to treat immunologically “cold” tumors. Medicenna's IL-4 Empowered Superkine, MDNA55, has been studied in 5 clinical trials including a Phase 2b trial for recurrent GBM, the most common and uniformly fatal form of brain cancer. MDNA55 has obtained Fast-Track and Orphan Drug status from the FDA and FDA/EMA, respectively.

About MDNA

medicenna is a clinical stage immunotherapy company developing novel highly selective versions of il-2, il-4 and il-13 superkines and first in class empowered cytokines (ecs). our mission is to become the leader in the development and commercialization of targeted ecs and superkines for the treatment of a broad range of cancers and immune-mediated diseases. we seek to achieve these successful treatments by drawing on our expertise, and that of world-class collaborators, to develop a unique set of superkines. these superkines can be developed either on their own as short or long-acting therapeutics or fused with pro-apoptotic proteins in order to precisely deliver potent cell-killing agents to the cancer cells as well as the immunosuppressive tumor micro-environment and the cancer stem cells without harming healthy cells. superkines can also be fused with other types of proteins such as antibodies to generate novel “immunocytokines” or combined with other treatment modalities such as ca
