Bionoxx to Showcase Groundbreaking Technology at BIO International Convention
Bionoxx Inc., an innovative biotech company, is set to unveil its latest technology at the 2024 BIO International Convention, aimed at tackling immune-related diseases. Scheduled for June 4th at 4:00 PM PT, the presentation will highlight Bionoxx’s advancements in neutrophil-directed T cell modulation technology.
Understanding Neutrophil Homeostasis in Cancer Patients
Recent research by Bionoxx has found that cancer patients often face challenges with neutrophil homeostatic dynamics in their blood. These disturbances can lead to T cell dysfunction, exacerbating clinical outcomes for these patients. This discovery has driven Bionoxx to develop the BNX-IFS technology, which identifies activated neutrophils pivotal for maintaining T cell homeostasis.
Introduction to BNX-IFS Technology
BNX-IFS, short for Bionoxx's Immune Function States, is a novel system designed to evaluate immune dynamics using circulating immune cells. The technology has shown that neutrophils' flexibility plays a crucial role in regulating T cells. This has been validated through nonclinical models and clinical specimens from both healthy individuals and patients with immune-related diseases.
Innovations in Cancer Treatment
The U.S. FDA has approved Bionoxx’s Investigational New Drug (IND) application, enabling the first human trials of mOTS-412, alone or combined with anti-PD-L1 therapy, for treating resistant solid tumors. This trial is set to commence in the latter half of 2024 and will be instrumental in assessing the effectiveness of BNX-IFS technology in real-world scenarios.
The Promise of BNX-IFS
According to Dr. Tae-Ho Hwang, Bionoxx's CTO, the acceptance of the IND application is a crucial milestone. It provides an excellent opportunity to refine and validate this pioneering technology, which holds the promise of creating new treatment options for various immune-related diseases.
What is OTS-412?
OTS-412 is an investigational oncolytic virus developed by Bionoxx as part of their innovative immunomodulatory strategy. This virus targets cancer cells and has demonstrated an enhanced ability to stimulate cancer-specific cytotoxic T cells, working synergistically with immune checkpoint inhibitors (ICI) in preclinical models resistant to ICI.
Bionoxx's Mission and Goals
Headquartered in South Korea, Bionoxx focuses on pioneering treatments that modulate the immune system to fight cancer and other immune-related disorders. The company's goal is to improve patient outcomes through advanced, personalized immunotherapies and innovative technologies.
Collaborations and Partnerships
Bionoxx is actively seeking partnerships and collaborations to further their research and development efforts. This includes working on therapies for various immune-mediated diseases, such as acute viral infections and autoimmune diseases.
Future Prospects
As Bionoxx continues to push the boundaries of biotechnology, its groundbreaking research and novel technologies hold the potential to revolutionize how immune-related diseases are treated, offering hope to many patients worldwide.
Conclusion
Bionoxx's advancements in neutrophil-directed T cell modulation and the development of BNX-IFS and OTS-412 represent a significant leap forward in the fight against cancer and immune disorders. The upcoming clinical trials and continued research efforts signal a promising future for immune therapy.
