Medicenna Therapeutics has presented promising preclinical data for MDNA113, their novel tumor-targeted immunotherapy candidate, at the 2025 AACR Meeting. MDNA113 is a first-in-class anti-PD-1-IL-2 bifunctional Superkine designed to target IL-13Rα2, which is overexpressed in "immunologically cold" tumors.
The therapy shows potential in treating multiple cancer types, including pancreatic, liver, brain, breast, colon, and prostate cancer, affecting over 2 million patients worldwide. Key findings demonstrate:
- Preferential tumor localization lasting 72+ hours
- Enhanced tolerability through IL-13SK masking
- 100% protection in complete responders against tumor rechallenge
- Improved CD8+ T cell infiltration in tumor models
According to CEO Fahar Merchant, MDNA113's unique approach combines targeted delivery with conditional activation, potentially offering superior results compared to current anti-PD-1-IL-2 bispecifics in development.
