TORONTO and HOUSTON, Sept. 28, 2022 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Medicenna Therapeutics Corp. (“Medicenna” or “the Company”) (NASDAQ: MDNA TSX: MDNA), a clinical stage immuno-oncology company, today announced new clinical data on anti-tumor activity from the Phase 1/2 ABILITY study of MDNA11, the Company’s “beta-only” long-acting IL-2 super-agonist. These data include a confirmed partial response (PR) in a fourth-line metastatic pancreatic ductal adenocarcinoma (PDAC) patient that had previously failed chemo and checkpoint inhibitor therapies. The confirmatory scan for this patient continues to show further tumor reduction compared to prior scans, suggesting durable anti-cancer activity following MDNA11 monotherapy. Overall, five of fourteen evaluable patients in the ABILITY study’s low and mid-stage dose escalation cohorts have achieved tumor control (PR or stable disease (SD)) with MDNA11 monotherapy.
