\nEllipses Pharma granted exclusive global rights to develop and commercialise SRB22, in solid tumours\n<\/p>\n

LONDON & SANTIAGO DE COMPOSTELA, Spain–(BUSINESS WIRE)–SunRock Biopharma S.L. (\u201cSunRock\u201d), a biopharmaceutical company that is developing a portfolio of innovative bispecific antibodies to treat incurable cancer, and Ellipses Pharma Limited (\u201cEllipses\u201d), a global drug development company focused on accelerating the development of new oncology treatments, announce that they have entered into an exclusive licensing agreement for SRB22, a fully human bifunctional HER3:TRAIL fusion protein, which going forward will be known as EP0017.\n<\/p>\n

\nUnder the agreement, Ellipses has been granted global rights to develop and commercialise EP0017 and will assume the full cost and responsibility for the remaining pre-clinical and clinical development of the compound. In line with its strategy, Ellipses intends to out licence EP0017 for commercialisation if it proves safe and effective in clinical trials. SunRock will continue to be involved in the development of EP0017 to ensure efficient translational activities through a service agreement with Ellipses. If Ellipses out-licences EP0017, SunRock will also receive milestone payments and royalties.\n<\/p>\n

\nEP0017 is a first-in-class bifunctional fusion protein with a dual mechanism of action. It selectively targets HER3, which is overexpressed in several different tumour types, and additionally, binds to the tumour death receptors DR4 and DR5, inducing tumour cell death. Promising data has been generated in a range of preclinical models that demonstrate the potential of EP0017.\n<\/p>\n

\nLaureano Sim\u00f3n, Ph.D., CEO of SunRock Biopharma, said
\n
<\/b>\u201cThe agreement with Ellipses will speed up the development of EP0017, moving this potentially life-changing asset towards the clinic and then hopefully towards cancer patients who desperately need novel approaches to fight invasive tumours.\u201d\n<\/p>\n

\nRajan Jethwa, MD, CEO of Ellipses Pharma commented:
\n
<\/b>\u201cOur mission is to rapidly develop innovative cancer therapies, to get these therapies into the clinic as quickly as possible and potentially save more lives. We are excited about the opportunity to progress the development of this promising asset and look forward to working with SunRock to expedite the preclinical work.\u201d\n<\/p>\n
