IOA-244
The only semi-allosteric PI3Kδ inhibitor, with a unique chemical structure and binding mode
IOA-244 is currently in Phase I/II clinical development in indications burdened by immune mediated resistance and a high intrinsic expression of PI3Kδ in both the cancer cells and in the tumor immune landscape.
The phosphatidylinositol 3-kinase (PI3K) signalling pathway is one of the most dysregulated pathways in cancer. We are developing a novel PI3Kδ inhibitor (IOA-244) with exquisite selectivity over PI3Kγ, translating into a new first in class mechanism in solid tumors and a class-leading safety and PK profile.
IOA-244 is an orally dosed molecule that modifies the balance of immune cells to harness a natural and sustained anti-tumor response.

IOA-289
The only Autotaxin inhibitor being developed in oncology
IOA-289 is currently in a Phase Ia healthy volunteer study and is being developed as a first-in-class therapy for indications that over express ATX and are burdened with by stroma mediated resistance.
Autotaxin (ATX) is an extracellular enzyme that generates lysophosphatidic acid (LPA). LPA is a bioactive phospholipid that stimulates the proliferation, migration and survival of many cell types and has been implicated in a wide range of diseases, including cancer. We are developing a novel ATX inhibitor (IOA-289) with superior potency compared to clinical-stage ATX inhibitors.
IOA-289 is an orally dosed molecule that inhibits the growth and proliferation of cancer cells, stimulates immune cell infiltration into tumors and inhibits the development of fibrosis.

IOA-237
The immune modifying mAb with combination potential
IOA-237 is in preclinical studies and is being developed as a combination therapy with IOA-244 and IOA-289 in indications burdened by stroma and immune mediated resistance.
CD73 is an enzyme that generates adenosine. Adenosine is a potent immunosuppressive factor contributing to tumor growth and survival. We are developing a selective CD73 monoclonal antibody (IOA-237) that has superior potency on cell surface and soluble CD73 compared to clinical stage competitors.
IOA-237 is a fully human mAb that disrupts CD73-mediated adenosine production. It is cross-reactive to mouse and human CD73, enabling a rapid development pathway.

Clinical trials
IOA-244-101 STUDY NCT04328844
IOA-244-101 is a Phase 1a/1b, open label, dose escalation and expansion multicentre study of IOA-244, an orally bioavailable, selective PI3Kδ inhibitor in patients with metastatic Uveal Melanoma, Cutaneous Melanoma and Mesothelioma. This is a two-part First-in-Human study in approximately 60 participants, where Part A is a dose-escalation study with IOA-244 and Part B is a dose-expansion in parallel cohorts.
The dose-escalation phase (Part A) evaluates the safety and tolerability of IOA-244 as monotherapy and documents preliminary signs of clinical efficacy of IOA-244 as single agent.
The dose-expansion phase (Part B) evaluates the safety and tolerability of IOA-244 as monotherapy at the biological effective dose and in combination with pemetrexed/cisplatin. Preliminary signs of clinical efficacy including overall response rate [ORR], progression-free survival [PFS], duration of response [DOR] and overall survival [OS] will be evaluated.
