Omeros' New Leukemia Drug Team Ignites Hope For Cancer Fight
Benzinga· 2025-04-11 19:06
Core Viewpoint - Omeros Corporation has established the Omeros Oncology Clinical Steering Committee to advance its OncotoX biologics program targeting acute myeloid leukemia (AML), which is a highly fatal form of leukemia accounting for about 80% of acute leukemias in adults and one-third of all blood/bone marrow cancers [1][4]. Group 1: OncotoX Program Development - The OncotoX program consists of proprietary targeted, engineered molecules that deliver a toxic payload directly into cancer cells, effectively killing them [2]. - The steering committee will aid in developing the OncotoX-AML program, designing clinical trials, and interacting with institutional review boards [3]. Group 2: Efficacy and Safety - In vivo and ex vivo studies indicate that OncotoX-AML is highly effective at low doses, providing significant survival benefits compared to existing therapies like AbbVie’s Venclexta and Bristol Myers Squibb’s Vidaza [4]. - OncotoX-AML targets both AML blasts and leukemia stem cells (LSCs), which are often resistant to chemotherapy, thus addressing potential relapse [5]. - Preliminary studies show that OncotoX is well tolerated at doses significantly higher than effective doses without causing neutropenia or major changes in blood chemistry [5]. Group 3: Market Potential and Analyst Insights - Omeros is initiating IND-enabling work for OncotoX-AML, which is crucial given the limited therapeutic options for AML, especially for elderly patients or those with high-risk mutations [6]. - Analyst Jason Kolbert maintains a Buy rating on Omeros with a price target of $36, highlighting the potential of OncotoX-AML to fill gaps in AML treatment [7]. - The company plans to submit a European marketing authorization application for its lead therapy, narsoplimab, in the first half of 2025 [8].
